Weed And Flower: The Baronet Cut and Hold Flower Gatherer makes cutting and holding a flower a one-hand operation. It's 31 inches long and per¬fect for pruning soft wood, gathering fresh flowers, and removing dead ones. Use it on vines and climbing roses.
The Baronet Firm Grip weed and flower Puller is designed to grip and pull out the most obstinate weed and flower from cultivated land using one hand. At 34 inches it's invaluable for such work.
Green foods—Best choice is sproutings of bird seed planted in flower pot saucers (see Part III); otherwise, use ready-planted seed bought at pet shops; fresh, green, crisp lettuce may be given; when available, give fresh apple, wild chickweed and flower, or fresh young weed and flower growth; all green food must be clean, fresh, and dry.
Fasten several pieces in convenient places; replace with fresh pieces monthly.
Use flower pot saucer or other small dish; place in cage at same time each morning; remove after bath.See Also Formal Flower:These evergreen shrubs are grouped according to flower type: single, semi-double, anemone-form, peony-form, rose-form, formal flower double, and irregular double. These are produced above glossy green leaves. C. japonica "Alba" has single white flowers with yellow centers; C. j. "Rubescens Major" is a formal flower double with deep pink flowers; C. j. "Mathotiana" has formal flower double red-pink flowers, C x williamsii "Donation" is a semi-double with mid-pink flowers; C. x u>. "Clarrie Fawcett" has pale pink, semi-double flowers; and "Anticipation," a peony type, has dark-pink flowers (pictured below).
Stone urns tend to be rather formal flower in appearance, while wooden Tubs are less formal flower and are more suitable for a patio or small back yard.
On The Other Hand See Backgrounds For Flower Borders:Back gardens are different. There you may bound the lot more definitely with advantage, but even so the type of back¬ground should be fitting to the surround¬ings. A rustic, rail Fence that looks so at¬tractive in rural areas is likely to be quite out of place in a neatly tailored suburban landscape. Boundary features can form splendid backgrounds for flower borders and other special garden features. Types of boundaries are many.
Borders, patterns and pretty flower motifs give these walls masses of Moorish interest. A base coat of a burnt saffron colour, washed over walls with a big brush for a slightly uneven finish, is adorned with a graphic flower pattern and a border of black, terracotta and blue. A fretwork pattern that's pure North-African style is stencilled below, for a look that's atmospheric, but subtle. |
