44— This bed is designed to be filled with 

 hardy flowering shrubs, from the front 

 comer of the house back. Place the tall- 

 est and strongest growers at the back end 

 and so along the line next the house, then 

 tone down toward the path with those of 

 more slender growth ; and in trimming 

 yearly, cut so as to keep a rolling line 

 from the house to the path, all the time 

 keeping the rear end the highest. That 

 portion of this bed we should plant with 

 Tulips, Lilies, Hyacinths and Crocus, and 

 in summer, after the early flowers are 

 gone, put in Tuberoses, Verbenas, or any 

 other small plants that must die or be 

 taken out in autumn, when the bed wants 

 a mulch covering of good leafy loam. 



45— This bed may be planted partly with 

 herbaceous Peonies, and then the Sweet 

 Peas, Lantanas and many other summer 

 flowering plants may be worked in for the 

 late season. 



46 — Is a bed for Roses, Geraniums and any 

 other free blooming and beautiful flower- 

 ing plants the owner may choose. In the 

 autumn it may be filled with any small 

 and cheap plants of Evergreens to keep 

 free from view the bare ground. The 

 surrounding of the roots of the trees, say 

 four feet in diameter, should have a 

 mulch of some kind for two or three 

 years, and then all but the flowering 

 shrubbery beds and fruit garden may be 

 kept in turf.
