know exactly how many acres 300,000 or 500,000 

 stocks will require. 



Having a highly qualified staff, the company are 

 prepared to undertake the formation and renovation 

 of plantations and gardens to any extent, and are 

 pleased to submit plans, specifications and estimates. 



For the two small Rose gardens in the plan on 

 page 307, a very simple scheme is recommended. The 

 top plan is well suited for a large courtyard of an 

 old house or for an old-world garden. A mixed col^ 

 lection of dwarf trees w^ould look best here, and in 

 the centre of each corner bed a standard or ihalf-stan> 

 dard should be planted, the four trees being of one 

 height. A sundial should be in the centre of the paved 

 walks. 



The lower plan, also of simple design and easy 

 construction, is of a garden with beds cut out of the 

 turf and surrounded by a gravel path. At each corner 

 is a tall weeping Rose, and in this case in the centre 

 should be a pillar Rose ; but if standards are placed 

 at the corner then a suitable garden ornament should 

 occupy the position in the centre. 



A good selection from the Hybrid Tea class of 

 Roses to flower early and late in the year is advised, 

 and varieties such as Caroline Testout, La France, 

 La Tosca, Lady Pirrie, Lady Ashtown, Killarney,. 

 Hugh Dickson, Los Angeles, or the like, will give a 

 most pleasing effect. The w^eeping Roses could be 

 Excelsa, Hiawatha, Lady Gay, White Dorothy, or- 

 any xariety that makes good trailing growth.
