SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE GARDEN 



THE flowers which give the greatest pleasure 

 are those which can be cut and attractively 

 arranged in vases for indoor decoration. Not all 

 flowers are suitable for cutting, and every garden 

 should be planned with a view to having some 

 blossoms for the house at all seasons of the year. 

 Short-stemmed flowers for small bowls and dishes 

 and long-stemmed ones for tall vases will prove a 

 constant source of pleasure for the woman who 

 would give to her living room a note of cheer and 

 to her dining table add an extra charm. Flowers 

 that shatter easily are good only for the yard, and 

 while many of these are so pretty in their delicacy 

 that no gardener would want to eliminate them, 

 they must not be permitted to occupy so much 

 space that there will be no room for more hardy 

 blossoms. The beds should be planted with a 

 view to having a variety of color, for however 

 beautiful the flower may be, it will not receive 

 as much appreciation if it is used continuously 

 instead of being alternated with other blossoms.
