The delight of annuals is that you need never repeat

your- self. You can make experiments every year and hope to continue for an indefinite succession. Many people prefer a simple sort, a bed of Shirley poppy, or Clarkia elegans or Godetia ; but there are associations as well established for reciprocal sympathy as almonds and raisins. One of the best —recommended some years ago in a lecture by Mr. Leonard Sutton, the greatest of specialists in this branch of gard g —is the little and too little-known Leptosiphon with Alyssum minimum. I suppose the greatest advance has been made in dwarf varieties. Neither of these grows more than four inches high, and the Leptosiphon has such a variety of hue, growing so short a nap, that it suggests a turkey carpet.
