 between it and outer border. 



This outside border about 5 feet in widfh, planted 

 with groups of irregular outlines varying from 3 to 12 

 plants of a variety according to the vigour of each 

 variety of Dwarf Polyanthas, Chinas, Singles, and 

 Species, will give to the Rose garden a distinctive-

 Pteracantha, Hugonis, Rosa Mundi, etc., each in 

 groups of three or four plants, not planted to make a 

 stiff outline or hedge effect, but to gradually merge in 

 the general garden surroundings.
