graminea aurea; a row of from three to five plants 
of Chamepeuce might be placed along the middle of 
Nos. 1 and 2. No. 3 might be planted with Kleinia 
repens, No. 4 with Alternanthera amena, and 
No. 5 with Alt. amabilis or Alt. magnifica, 
having centre plants of Chamzpeuce. The 
groundwork (No. 6) might be filled with 
Mentha, Herniaria, Antennaria, or one of 
the Sedums. If the bed is of sufficient 
size, Eucalyptus globulus might be substi- 
tuted for the plants of Chamezpeuce. 
In Bed F (Fig. 147), panel No. 1 might 
be filled with Alternanthera amena; No. 2 
with Echeveria secunda glawea or E. aga- 
voides; No. 3 with Cerastiwm tomentosum 
or Sagina pilifera awrea ; No. 4 with Iresine 
Lindeni ; No. 5 with Alternanthera major ; 
No. 6 with Alt. aurea nana; and the ground-

lophantha might be inserted in the centre 
of Nos. 1, 4, 5, and 6.

Sempervivum montanum; No. 3, Alternanthera amena ; 
No. 4, Pachyphytum bracteosum or Leucophyta Brownit ;

aurea; No. 6, Alternanthera versicolor; No. 7, Mesem-

Pyrethrum Golden Feather. The centres 
of Nos. 4 and 5 should consist of small 
specimen Palms; whilst the centres of the 
panels 7 and 8 might, with advantage, have 
plants of Coleus, Perilla, or Iresine inserted. 
All the panels should be raised and 
bevelled off, the central cross of Echeveria 
Peacockii being raised still further, and the 
S. montanuwm planted on the sides. A nice 
plant of Chamzpeuce may be planted in the 
centre of the panels No. 6. 
In Bed H (Fig. 149), No, 1 might be filled 
with Kleinia repens, having a centre plant 
of Fatsia japonica; No. 2 with Alternan- 
thera versicolor; No. 3 with Alt. parony-

Mesembryanthemum; No. 11 with Alter- 
nanthera major aurea, having dot-plants of 
Chamepeuce; No. 12 with Antennaria or 
Spergula, interspersed with Sempervivum 
tabuleforme or S. triste. The beauty of the 
Bed will be improved if the whole of the 
central portion from No. 5 inwards is raised 
about 8in., and the Echeveria planted in a 
double row on the edge. 
In Bed I (Fig. 150), No. 1 should have a 
centre plant of Grevillea robusta or Euca- 
lyptus globulus, and be carpeted with Alter- 
nanthera magnifica or Alt. versicolor; No. 2 
would be best filled in with Mesembryan- 
themum or Sagina pilifera aurea; No. 3 
with Herniaria or Mentha; No. 4 with 
Alternanthera major; No. 5 with Alt. rosea 
nana; and No. 6 with Alt. awrea nana. The 
three outside panels numbered 5, and also 
the three outermost numbered 6, might each 
have a specimen plant of Grevillea in the centre; or those 
numbered 5 would look well with a plant of Chamzpeuce 
in the centre, and those numbered 6 with one of Coleus. 
In Bed J (Fig. 151), No. 1 might be filled in with 
Fic. 147.
