Plant Associations It is sad to reflect that in England so few gardens open to the public label their plants or label them so that the label is visible when that plant is in flower, so that visitors can identify; and then later locate and purchase that plant. Few mail-order nurseries provide the detail as shown in my rose or heather galleries. If you want to sell a product, it is best to display it. When I sold my Transit van, I removed its signage, cleaned it and took photos of the inside and outside before putting them onto an advert in Autotrader amongst more than 2000 other Transit vans - it was sold in 20 minutes. If mail-order nurseries could put photos to the same complexity from start of the year to its end with the different foliage colours and stages of flowering on Wikimedia Commons, then the world could view the plant before buying it, and idiots like me would have valid material to work with. I have been in the trade (until ill health forced my Sole Trader retirement in 2013) working in designing, constructing and maintaining private gardens for decades and since 2005 when this site was started, I have asked any nursery in the world to supply photos. R.V. Roger in Yorkshire allowed me to use his photos from his website in 2007 and when I got a camera to spend 5 days in July 2014 at my expense taking photos of his roses growing in his nursery field, whilst his staff was propagating them. I gave him a copy of those photos. |
Anemones (Windflower, wood anemone is a member of the Wildflower Buttercup Family) |
Many different colours Spring blooming anemones do best in part shade. Fall bloomers thrive in full sun to part shade. |
The sea anemone represents a clownfish's territory. Once established, It is rarely abandoned and clownfish will not venture far from it. The sea anemones stinging tentacles provide a safe haven for the clown when danger approaches. In return the clown fish helps the anemone by cleaning its tentacles of detritus, and possibly running off potential predators. |
12-24 x |
Anemones like soil that is deep and rich, with plenty of well-decayed manure, so that it holds moisture, but is also well-drained. |
Bu Tuberous-rooted or herbaceous perennials |
Propagate tuberous-rooted anemones by seeds sown in prepared beds in January or in July. The best varieties should be taken up annually and offsets removed for propagation, but others are usually left undisturbed.
Herbaceous Varieties:-
To make up an ideal bed for cultivation of these flowers, dig out 18 inches (45 cms) of soil. Put in a 6 inch (15 cms) layer of cow dung. Then refill the bed with good fresh loam. On this can be sown the seed, which must first be separated carefully so that it is evenly distributed. Generally the plants will flower the same season, but only the best kinds for exhibition should be retained for the following year. Never let the plants lack moisture, but do not let water become stagnant in the soil or the leaves will become distorted and swollen. |

Apr After flowering period is over the plants should be stood outside until the following autumn, and must never be allowed to become dry during the hot weather. Use Pest Control plant against greenfly. |
20-40 x 4-20 (50-100 x 10-50) |
Grow in planting baskets in heavy loam soil in water up to 30cm deep, in full sun as a marginal plant. Protect overwintering plants by placing baskets in a frost-free environment. |
Greenhouse herbaceous or semi-evergreen perennial |
Culture: 2 parts rich fibrous loam, equal parts leaf-mould and sharp sand. Repot annually in the autumn and stand in cold frame until October, when they should be removed to the greenhouse; temperature, 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4.5 degrees Centigrade). Water moderately until early spring by keeping it just moist, then freely, giving weak stimulants to plants showing flower spathe. Propagate by division in the spring. |
Zantedeschia aethiopica is the one chiefly grown, and is much prized for its white bloom for church and other decorations at Easter. Other species are:- |

General Culture Planting Pruning Training ANNUAL CLIMBERS
PERENNIAL CLIMBERS Hardy - Established plants are greatly helped by giving them occasional supplies of weak manure water, and, in dry weather, also by complete soakings with pure water at intervals. They are greatly benefitted, too, by the annual removal of a little of the surface soil and replacing it with fresh compost together with a mulch of animal manure where this would not be offensive. Half-hardy - Generally speaking, these require the same treatment as that for the hardy sorts. They must, however, be protected in the winter. A common error in doing this is to cover the plants too closely, with the result that prematuregrowth is induced before the coverings are removed, and when they are taken off injury is frequently caused by spring frosts. Spruce and other coniferous branches are excellent for covering them, and scrim or comparitively open mats are better than close canvas or sacking. SHRUBBY CLIMBERS
These can be added to non-shrubby climbers:-

Hardy perennial plants which bloom in winter and early spring with the flowers of the Ch ristmas Rose and the Lenten Rose (H. orientalis) are excellent for cutting, and if the stems are split when placed in water will last for several weeks. |
Give occasional doses of weak liquid manure when in bloom and a mulch of good manure when flowering is over. Once planted leave undisturbed as the plants require 3 or 4 years to mature. |

Chrysanthemum japonense var. ashizuriense 日本語: アシズリノジギク Place:Osaka,Japan. By I, KENPEI, via Wikimedia Commons |
Preface ... Fortified with the practical experience of producing blooms commercially and for exhibition, and of criticising them impartially as a certified judge of the National Chrysanthemum Society, together with a deep affection for the autumn queen of flowers, I felt that in creating such a book I was contributing substantially to the reservoir of knowledge already pooled by writers and growers of repute... Monica Bennett. "With the more delicate pastel shades, the garden Maidenhair Fern, or the Asparagus plumusus and sprengeri are lovely, but with the bronze and crimson blooms I prefer something a little bolder, like the burnished gold of the beech or arching shoots of stephanandra. The berried berberis family and the cotoneasters provide a very useful and decorative material, but I cannot say that I like the addition of golden privet which one sees so often in a bouquet of chrysanthemums. Laurels are too heavy also, but broom is effective if used in moderation. Books written by experts from about 1900 to 1960, I find tend to contain concise, useful data to joe public, tried out and tested methods of propagation and culture for each plant, There is more useful data from Missouri Botanical Garden in America as written on the Christmas Rose (Helleborus niger) above, than is provided by the Royal Horticultural Society. The Royal Horticultural Society will spend millions of pounds on a new entry to Wisley Garden, but not label all their plants in their garden or make a history or diary concerning the beds they have them in, whereas the American Botanical Gardens do. |

|
|
Culture - Any good fairly light garden soil suits the crocus. It is obvious that the autumn and winter flowering varieties must be planted in June or July, and that warm, sheleterd nooks should be chosen if they are to be seen at their best. Failing this, they should have the protection of a cold frame. 2 or 3 frames 72 x 48 inches (180 x 120 cms), with autumn and winter species of Crocus planted out in them, afford almost constant bloom all through the darkest days of the year, if the selection is well made (there are some with photos in Colchicum and Crocus Gallery). Some of the early ---> |
spring flowering species, such as Crocus sieberi, do vary well in pots, if grown from start to finish with a minimum of heat and plenty of air. Dorothea, a Dutch variety, is also exceptionally good as a pot plant. |

The hardy kinds of cyclamen will grow quite well in fairly rich soil containing plenty of leaf-mould, and are particularly happy in a shady pocket of the rock garden, or in turf under trees. |
Amongst the various hardy cyclamen the variety C. europoeum, which has scented flowers of crimson-red in autumn, is one of the most easily grown. C. coum should be chosen for the shadiest side of the rock garden. This flowers in February and March and makes a valuable addition to the winter garden. C. neapolitanum( C. hederifolium), producing a number of rosy-pink flowers followed by large silver-marbled foliage is another useful variety. |

Cut Flowers All The Year from The New Illustrated Gardening Encyclopedia by Richard Sudell, printed before May 1935 for the plant names in each month, followed by details for culture and propagation. Mr. Middleton's Garden Book by Daily Express Publication, reprinted 1941 for the individual cultivar names with evergreen/deciduous, flower colour, flower month and height. The following - in the 3 pages of Cut Flowers all the Year - ordinary garden flowers, foliage and berries (including products of the greenhouse) should be available for the decoration of the home. For convenience; they are grouped under each month. By a careful study of the different kinds, and planning ahead, amateur gardeners should be able to dispense with the need for purchasing floral decorations, a form of economy by which the appearance of the garden itself will benefit. |
