Daphne though of an unobtrusive shade of pink, is very effective if 



and grown in sufficient quantity ; several good-sized bushes look 



Violet we ^ together against Yews or dark evergreens with white 



Polyanthus beneath them. On a warm spring day the scent 



is delicious and travels far. We are very fortunate in having 



many wild sweet Violets about the place it seems almost a 



contradiction to talk of the modest Violet making an effect, but 



they certainly form delightful patches of colour growing wild 



in the grass there are white, lavender grey, puce and purple, 



and all very sweet.
