A flower garden
A flower garden is any garden where flowers are grown for decorative purposes. Because flowers bloom at varying times of the year, and some plants are annual, dying each winter, the design of flower gardens can take into consideration to maintain a sequence of bloom and even of consistent color combinations, through varying seasons.
Flower gardens combine plants of different heights, colors, textures, and fragrances to create interest and delight the senses.
Flower color is an important feature of both the herbaceous border and the mixed border that includes shrubs as well as herbaceous plants, and of bedding-out schemes limited to colorful annuals. Flower gardens are sometimes tied in function to other kinds of gardens, like knot gardens or herb gardens, many herbs also having decorative function, and some decorative flowers being
edible.
One simpler alternative to the designed flower garden is the “wildflower” seed mix, with assortments of seeds which will create a bed that contains flowers of various blooming seasons, so that some portion of them should always be in bloom. The best mixtures even include combinations of perennial and biennials, which may not bloom until the following year, and also annuals that are “self-seeding”, so they will return, creating a permanent flowerbed.

Another, even more recent trend is the “flower garden in a box”, where the entire design of a flower garden is pre-packaged, with separate packets of each kind of flower, and a careful layout to be followed to create the proposed pattern of color in the garden-to-be.

Methods of Plant Improvement.
Plant improvement is based on the principles or laws of heredity which are included in the science known as genetics. Many of the principles and techniques used in plant breeding are complex and to understand them fully intensive study and training are required. Thus only the general methods of crop improvement will be presented and discussed here. In general the improvement of plants is brought about in three broadly different ways. They are introduction, selection, and hybridization. Each has been used successfully to provide us with improved varieties.

Introduction. Many of the important crop plants grown in the USA have been not native to the United States. Actually many thousands of plants have been introduced from other parts of the world, but only a few of the best are grown commercially. Over 8,000 introductions of wheat alone have been made into the United States. These and many others have been valuable not only from the standpoint of providing the farmers with new varieties that could be grown commercially, but, in addition, they have been a source of breeding material for use in the development of new, improved varieties.
Selection. Selection is a simple, but important method of improving plants. As the name suggeststhis method consists of selecting the outstanding types and discarding those that are undesirable, because of certain characteristics being possessed by them.
For example, in small grains, plants resistant to lodging may be selected; and with alfalfa those capable of surviving in severe winters are to be retained. After a period of testing, during which plants are selected for certain desired traits or characteristics, a superior strain may be developed. Improvement by selection cannot be accomplished, however, unless the variety from which the selections are being made possesses some plants containing the characteristics desired.
Moreover, improvement by this method is not possible unless the qualities of the superior types of plants can be readily detected. As a result it is necessary that keen observation based on experience and scientific knowledge should be made in selecting the most desirable plants.
