Or the whole star might be of a solid color, with a border of contrasting color. Red Coleus with Madame Salleroi Geranium as a border would look well. So would yellow Coleus edged with Centaurea. We do not lay as much stress on edging beds and walks with flowering plants as formerly, but the practice is a most pleasing one, and ought not to be neglected.
Allow eight inches for Madame Salleroi Geranium and Pyrethrum. These will soon meet in the row and form a solid line or mass of foliage. So many persons have asked for designs for carpet-bedding, that I will accompany this chapter with several original with myself which have proved very satisfactory.
Florists can generally furnish seedling plants in spring, from which immediate effects can be secured by close planting. One of the best if not the best plants for all-around use in edging is Madame Salleroi Geranium. It is quite unlike any other Geranium of which I have any knowledge, in general habit. It forms a bushy, compact plant, and bears a solid mass of foliage.
No attention whatever is required in the way of pruning. The plant trains itself. The ordinary flowering Geranium must be pinched back, and pruned constantly to prevent it from becoming "leggy," but there is no trouble of this kind with Madame Salleroi.
Both are excellent for working out the finer details of a design. Pyrethrum "Golden Feather" with feathery foliage of a tawny yellow. Centaurea gymnocarpa, "Dusty Miller," with finely-cut foliage of a cool gray. Geranium Madame Salleroi with pale green and white foliage.
