Fine Art Summer: Colored foliage can be as useful as silver and gray foliage in diversifying the effects in summer bedding displays. Kochia scoparia f. trichophylla , for example, is an annual known as summer cypress, because it makes a 2ft column of fine art summer leaves and looks rather like a miniature conifer; the leaves are green at first, turning to purplish-red in late summer. Abutilon pictum "Thompsonii" is a shrubby plant with light-green leaves heavily mottled with yellow, and with orange, dropping, trumpet-shaped flowers. Particularly useful as a dot plant, it will quickly grow to a height of up to 3ft and can be used as a background or a centerpiece. Tanacetum parthenium "Aureum" is also known as golden feather because it has bright yellow feathery leaves. It is good for carpeting or groundwork.
The large-flowered clematis are divided into several groups according to their parentage. These groups are Florida, flowering mainly in early and mid-summer; Jackmanii, flowering mainly in late summer and early fall; Lanuginosa, flowering at different times between mid-summer and the early fall; Patens, flowering mainly in early to mid-summer; Texensis, flowering mainly from late summer to mid-fall and Viticella, also flowering mainly from late summer to mid-fall.
7. Summer Courses for Students and Teachers The Olso University Summer School for American Students and an Institute for English-Speaking Teachers make very important Norwegian contributions to international good will through study. In both the Summer School and the Institute all courses are conducted in English. I have seen the workings of the Summer School and consider it one of the most significant ventures of its kind in Europe.
