Flower Garden: You might think that cutting fresh flowers both for friends and for the homefront would quickly deplete our flower garden. Not so. Rather than denude various parts of our permanent flower garden to fill a vase, my wife and I have included an old Victorian idea in our garden plan: a cutting garden. We grow an abundance of annuals for color, plus a few choice perennials, all specifically grown for bouquets.With this equipment, you will be able to produce those startling close-up pictures which, when enlarged by projection on a screen, seem to magnify the original beauty of the flowers. And these are the pictures which your clients cannot duplicate with their own cameras. They are the shots which will establish you as a flower photography specialist. The other pictures you have occasion to shoot, those showing garden layouts and pleasant clumps and clusters and masses of flowering plants, will take care The best sources of customers for your flower photography are the garden clubs and the flower clubs in your community. If you don't know the flower clubs, get in touch with a florist for the information you need.

On The Other Hand See Winter Garden Are Happy:The majority of plants usually suggested for the winter garden are happy only when temperatures stay above 0°F. I have chosen hardier plants so my plan for a winter garden is for the majority of readers. Like the autumn garden, it is not a specific spot of ground. Rather it consists of small trees, shrubs, and a few plants to be spread about the garden, bringing welcome color to the snow and ice.Asparagus officinalis var. pseudoscaber is a graceful variety of the common garden asparagus that hails originally from Rumania. It has rhizomatous roots, tiny, green bell-like flowers, and wonderful drifts of green branchlets (not true leaves) on stems that can reach 4 feet in length. The burgeoning spears are miniature, too small to be used i food. These are cool and inviting plants in the garden. They ] easily from seed and are quite happy in a 6-inch clay pot to be I indoors in winter, or planted directly in the ground (where they i a mulch north of Zone 6). |
