You will notice that certain names are repeated in several instances. This is only to show the period of bloom, whether early Spring, Summer, or Autumn, or throughout the season.
NOTE ON THE GARDEN CUT-OUTS
Dear Girl or Boy:
No doubt you will wish, just as Mary Frances did, to be able to cut flowers every few days from your garden for your mother to use as a “centerpiece” on the dining table, or for your father’s desk, or for your grandmother’s dresser, or to give to some dear friend.
Now, anyone can have a few plants which will bloom at some time or other, but the garden you and Mary Frances have in mind is one which will have flowers blooming from March, through April, May, June, July, August, September, October, and on into November, until killed by frost.
Flowers nearly nine months of the year! Yes, that is quite possible in almost every part of our country—if you study carefully the outlines given on pages [51-62], inclusive.
The first outline gives a list of plants which bloom in the Early Spring. (See Garden Cut-Out [No. 1].)
The second names the plants which bloom in the Early Summer. (See Garden Cut-Out [No. 2].)
The third, the plants which bloom in Mid-Summer. (See Garden Cut-Out [No. 3].)
The fourth, those blooming in Late Summer or Early Autumn. (See Garden Cut-Out [No. 4].)
