should be planted two of a variety facing each other, 

 and, as far as possible, selection of suitable varieties 

 should rest with the nursery. 



Of the i6 beds for dwarf trees set in the turf, the 

 outer or larger beds should be red and pink alter- 

 natively, and the inner beds yellow and white. Red : 

 Hugh Dickson, Avoca, Augustus Hartman, General 

 McArthur. Pinks : Madam Abel Chatenay, Ophelia, 

 Dean Hole, Caroline Testout. Yellow : Madame 

 Ravary, Lady Hillingdon, Lady Pirrie, Gorgeous. 

 White : Frau Karl Druschki, Mrs. Herbert Stevens, 

 British Queen, Molly Sharman Crawford. 



The lower garden plan shows gravel and paved 

 paths, with Rose beds and standards set in turf, a sun- 

 dial in the centre, a boundary hedge of Roses, and at 

 each corner a planting of some kind. 



Let each corner planting be of Sweet Briars, Paul's 

 Scarlet Climber and Mermaid alternately. Four out- 

 side large beds could be of red Roses, and the eight 

 inside beds of dark pink, while the eight standards 

 would be of light pink or white. Red Roses : General 

 McArthur, H. P. Pinkerton, Red Letter Day, Ed- 

 ward Mawley. Covent Garden, Richmond, Hugh Dick- 

 son, General Jacquiminot. Dark Pink Roses : William 

 Shean, Killarney, Mrs. W. J. Grant, Lady Ashtown, 

 Mrs. Henry Morse, Mrs. George Shawyer, 

 Caroline Testout, and Mme. Abel Chatenay. These 

 being hard to match in height and shade of pink, selec- 

 tion should be left to the nursery ; but the varieties 

 selected should be as light as Mrs. Amy Hammond. 

 An alternative scheme for the planting- of this plan 

 would be to make all the standards, half-standards, and 

 plant out the beds with dwarf Polyantha Roses, of 

 which no less than 22 varieties are listed in Mr. 

 Burch's catalogue. In this case shades of pink should 

 be chosen for the centre beds, and white and red for 

 the outside.
