MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN BULLETIN 67 
lawns, visitors cannot be allowed to roam at will through this 
area the A aa summer, but in future years access to all 
parts of the Garden will be possible. 
Along the knolls, borders of flowers have been planted, 
following the general outline of the shrubbery masses. No 
attempt has been made at fancy or carpet bedding, for these 
would be distinctly out of place against the otherwise natural 
landscape. For much the same reason foliage Lape as such. 
have not been used. Instead, it has been decided to provide 
large masses of color throughout the summer and to so group 
these that harmony will be preserved in any particular per- 
spective. As one walks around the Garden there will be a 
constant change in the color scheme and even the effect in the 
same valley will vary when seen from different points. It 
is hoped that by the use of different plants each year the 
Garden will not present the same appearance two seasons in 
succession. 
Views.—As one walks south from the main entrance 
several interesting views may be had. First, there is the little 
pool with the caladiums and the cannas massed behind it, 
and along its border many kinds of water plants. In the 
background is a portion of the stream that winds down from 
the rockery west of the grove. Further south and looking 
from between the purple beech and a large horse-chestnut 
is a splendid view of the new conservatories, perfectly framed 
in by green foliage on each side. The beauty of the scene 
is haiphtened by the pool of water lying in the foreground. 
As one proceeds there is a view of the Victory statue and the 
entrance to the grove where the mausoleum stands. From 
the walk around the bead Gomes can see the little pool at 
the end of the valley, while beyond are the old greenhouses. 
From a point a little further along one gets sight of the old 
greenhouses, which this time seem to be in an almost formal 
setting, owing to the peculiar pes agg of the valley 
and the trees bordering it on each side. Continuing along 
the same path, various views of the stream and the pools, 
which are a part of it, appear and from the west side of the 
Garden one constantly gets little glimpses of the greenhouses, 
the main entrance, and other bits of the formal garden. 
These, however, do not form the important part of the vista, 
but are subservient to it. Since the first view of the new 
conservatory, it has been obscured, but now at a bend in 
the walk we come upon it again and for the first time can 
appreciate its size and beauty. Walking east from the front 
of the conservatory on the walk to the right of the parterre
