Bedding Annuals: BEGONIAS used in bedding displays are from the semperflorens hybrids (zlO), fibrous-rooted perennials grown as half-hardy bedding annuals. This type is particularly suitable for bedding displays because all the plants in the group have a neat habit and continuous flowering. They have a succession of small white, pink, or red flowers and green or bronze, slightly fleshy leaves. "Organdy," with green leaves, and "Coco Mixed," which has bronze foliage, are good varieties to give a contrast of colors.
When bulbs do go dormant, their leaves dry, turn yellow, ar disappear from sight. The Allium species will act this way soon aft< flowering is over. To cover the bare spots in the garden, move in i few geraniums or some bedding annuals like lobelias, pansies, ar the like that you will have kept waiting in the wings.
In addition to the main bedding, many sediments show subsidiary stratification that lies at an angle with the major bedding lines. This is called cross-, false-, or current-bedding, and indicates rapid changes in direction and carrying capacity of the transporting medium. Bedding brought about by torrents shows an alternation of coarse, current-bedded materials and fine laminations. Some sediments are very finely laminated—they lie in very thin layers—and exhibit perfectly symmetrical alternations of finer- and coarser-grained bands which may be correlated with seasonal changes. |
