Carpeting of large flowers with those of low growing habit. Arabis, 

 Plants Aubrietia, Hypericum,Linarias pallida and Cymbalaria make 

 an excellent foundation for the great spikes of Eremuri or other 

 effective plants, which rise through them. In suitable places 

 annuals are added to fill the spaces occupied by masses of 

 Daffodils, Snowdrops, Scillas, Crocus, etc. 



This sheltered dell, with its water and wooded slopes and 

 glimpses of distant mountains, gives as much pleasure to the artist 

 as to the gardener. For the collections of plants are not only 

 very complete in themselves, containing as they do many rarities 

 introduced for the first time, but are also most admirably dis- 

 tributed and arranged in harmony with their exceptionally 

 picturesque surroundings.
