r I 1HE sixty-three colors of the accompanying chart have been accurately compared with the colors of growing flowers. Although blossoms, even on the same plant, will vary somewhat in shade, the au¬ thor hopes that the care with which this chart has been prepared may prove of genuine service to all who plan their gardens with the aid of this book. As will be noticed, each color block is supplied with a number as well as a name. A corresponding color number will be found opposite every description of a plant through¬ out the volume. \ Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2019 with funding from Kahle/Austin Foundation https://archive.org/details/gardenmonthbymonOOOOsedg GARDEN OF FLOWERS IN FULL BLOOM THE GARDEN MONTH BY MONTH DESCRIBING the appearance, color, dates of bloom and cultivation of all desirable, hardy plants for the formal or wild garden, with additional lists of aquatics, vines, etc. By MABEL CABOT SEDGWICK Assisted by ROBERT CAMERON Gardener of the Harvard Botanical Gardens With over two hundred half-tone engravings from photographs of growing plants, and a chart in colors. NEW YORK FREDERICK A. STOKES COMPANY PUBLISHERS Thomas J. Bala Library TRENT UNIVERSITY PETERBOROUGH, ONTARIO A Copyright , igoy By Frederick A. Stokes Company This edition published in March, 1907 TO W. C. C. AND E. R. C. PREFACE O Perpetui Fiori del Eterna Letizia IT is prudent perhaps for many of us to have our pleasure gardens shaped for us by an expert wiser than we may hope to be. A trained eye, long study of old forms, and that knowledge which is born only of experience, make possible a beauty of outline and insure a perfection of detail in a project which in the minds of most of us is a desire rather than a definite conception. Yet he who truly loves his garden will not relin¬ quish altogether the happy task of creating it. For him it is the centre of bright imaginings. He dreams of it asleep and awake, until from among the multitude of his thoughts there flashes some happy vision finished in all things, like the completed picture which the painter sees on the white canvas before him. Quickly before it fades he rushes to his task. But to the amateur, garden catalogues are often a snare and most books a de¬ lusion. Search as he may, these helpers serve him little, and as he struggles to find the appropriate flowers with which to paint his picture, the gay vision fades and confusion and discouragement ensue. It is for this gardener that I have made this book and offer it as a full palette, to enable him the more readily to paint the picture as he sees it, and save him the discouragement of looking in a thousand places for a thousand bits of information. However small a part of the garden it may be that he himself plans, he will look upon that portion with a kindlier eye, and find more in it to love and enjoy than all the rest of the garden has to offer. With this book I wish my gardener joy of his experiments, and if he fails to make his garden altogether as he has imagined it, may he have a fancy quick to suggest new visions; for in the possibilities of change lies the im¬ perishable charm of gardens. Forever through past experience shine the bright alluring pictures of the future. vii PREFACE The plan of this book is simple. The plants are arranged in the order of the months in which they bloom, while for the reader’s convenience a plant which flowers in more months than one is listed afresh in each appro¬ priate month, though the full description of its habit and the directions for its culture are given only where it makes its first appearance. In the great majority of cases, the dates of bloom are taken from personal observations in the vicinity of Boston. The season about New York is, generally speaking, about ten days earlier. A rough and ready calculation allows six days’ difference to every degree of latitude. Yet in this matter of the date of bloom the reader must understand that nothing like exactness is possible. All that can be claimed is the representation of a fair average. The season of bloom is very irregular, often varying as much as a fortnight in the spring. But though early dates may vary, by June first all irregularities seem to disappear, and the reader can be confident that whatever are the dates of bloom, the succession of bloom remains invariable. As the plants are divided according to the months in which they first bloom, so they are subdivided according to color. In each month’s list of blooming plants there are nine color groups, including “ parti-colored,” /.yxidanthfera Darbulkta Diapinsia tarbuldta Minute evergreen creeping plant growing in dense cushions.
