Karl Druschki at the back; Jessie and General 

 McArthur; Canarienvogel and Golden Emblem; Perle 

 d'Or and Mrs. Wemyss Quin ; Aschenbrodel and 

 Caroline Testout ; Mrs. W. H. Cutbush and Mrs. Hy. 

 Morse ; Maman Turbat and Lady Ashtown ; Jessie and 

 Richmond, etc. ; but effective as these would be, a 

 more striking effect would doubtless be gained by 

 using four varieties only, one colour in each of the 

 four divisions, say, Augustus Hartmann or Mrs. E. 

 Powell, K. of K. or Red Letter Day facing each 

 other, with Lady Pirrie or Louise Breslau, and Lady 

 Hillingdon or Mrs. Wemyss Quin in the other two 

 divisions. In the outer circle either Standards, Half 

 Standards, Weeping Standards, or Climbers on 

 Pillars can be used according to the situation, and the 

 effect desired, choosing always those varieties the 

 colours of which blend or contrast well with the dwarfs 

 in the beds. 



If it is desired, both gardens depicted by the two 

 plans can be surrounded by a hedge of yew or privet, 

 which would be cut to any height required, and at 

 each entrance could be fashioned an ornament in yew 

 or privet to break the circular sweep of hedge. The 

 paths are shown in the plan as of gravel, but crazy 

 paving could be used to advantage, in which case a 

 sundial in the centre is advised, or a lead or stone 

 figure. In both gardens the standards should be kept 

 of one height or worked alternately in two heights. 

 The colour scheme can be according to the wishes of 

 the grower, but the varieties mentioned will give good 

 effect.
