their seedlings after him. The Roses sent out gave 

 great satisfaction, and were mmdh admired, as all grew 

 very profusely, the climate of Egypt being very suit-

 that came from Lord Kitchener and his personal 

 friends. 



A small planting scheme for the accompanying 

 plans may be best got out as follows : — 



Top Plan. — For the bed on the right the colour to 

 be selected should be yellow, with 12 trees of each 

 variety : Mrs. Wemyss Quin, Christine, and Golden 

 Emblem. For the bed on the left the colour to be 

 selected should be red, with 12 trees of each variety : 

 Red Letter Day, Charles K. Douglas, K. of K. For 

 the top bed the colour to be selected should be deep 

 pink, with 12 trees of each variety, Mrs. Henry Morse, 

 Mrs. Henry Bowles, Lady Ashton. For the bottom 

 bed the colour to be selected should be lig^ht pink, with 

 12 trees of each variety, Edith Cavell, Ophelia, Mrs. H. 

 Stevens. 



The small beds in each triangle are planted with 

 Roses to blend in colour as follows : — Right-hand 

 bed, Isobel; left-hand bed. Innocence; top bed, Irisih 

 Elegance ; bottom bed, Waltham Flame. The stan- 

 dards should be planted in pairs of Ophelia, Hugh 

 Dickson, Snow Queen, Caroline Testout. The sur- 

 rounding hedge should be of box or yew. 



Bottom Plan. — Reading from the top right-hand 

 side and round the plan clockwise, the large beds 

 should be planted in each case with three varieties : 

 No. I, Ophelia, Red Letter Day, G. Griinerwald, No. 2, 

 K. of K., Prince de Bulgarie, Isobel. No. 3, Waltham 

 Flame, Mme. Edouard Herriot. No. 4, Mrs. Henry 

 Bowles, C. K. Douglas, Hadley. 



The standards would be Lady Ashton, Hugh Dick- 

 son, Charles K. Douglas , Ophelia, Caroline Testout, 

 Waltham Crimson. 



In the centre we advise a weeping Rose or sundial, 

 and, as in the top plan, a box or yew hedge. Well- 

 laid turf with gravel paths and garden seats, complete 

 the two plans.
