Limnanthes Douglasii as an Edging Plant.
If a bold ending is wanted to a long border, this showy annual should certainly be used. The plants in the ae-
companying illustration were set out quite ISin apart in the autumn, and during June made a fine display. L. Douglasii is. perhaps, the hardiest of all garden annuals. Frosts aaid wet never kill it, even when it is moved in midwinter. It reproduces itself freely from self-grown seed, and will do well anywhere, being a good subject for slug-infested gardens, since these pests do not touch it. JS J*
