Flowers for Towns
The following list of annuals, perennials, and bulbs which grow well in the heart of towns, though it is not complete, contains enough plants to fill a garden:—
| Annuals. | Perennials. | Bulbs. |
| Alyssum. | Jap. Anemones | Crocuses. |
| Candytuft. | Campanulas. | Daffodils. |
| Collinsia. | Delphiniums. | Hyacinths. |
| Coreopsis. | Flags. | Madonna Lillies. |
| Mignonette. | Gaillardias. | Squills. |
| Nasturtiums. | Pinks. | Spanish Irises. |
| Poppies. | Sunflowers. | Tulips. |
| Sunflowers. | Wallflowers. | Winter Aconite. |
In addition to the plants mentioned above, hardy ferns grow well, and so do lilies of the valley, and stonecrops and saxifrages. Wandering Jew will also thrive, and the canary creeper grows as well in town as in the country.
In summer, geraniums, fuchsias, heliotrope—which must be well watered—pansies, lemon verbena, and scented geraniums, can be planted out.
Roses do not do very well in towns; but hardy ones will grow quite enough flowers to make the possession of them a great delight.
