special colour may well be chosen to prevail at a particular July, 

 season ; I have often wished to have white alone. This A blue 

 year near Dunwich I came across a blue and a pink garden. Garden 

 Only a few yards of cliff, covered with Heather and Honey- 

 suckle, separated it from the North Sea. Turning from the 

 wild beauty of that view, and entering the garden sheltered from 

 the north-easterly gales by an old curved red brick wall one is 

 greeted on the threshold by the vision of a fairy scene, with blue 

 for the key-note. A straight path leads from the door right up

 spikes of blue. 



Through a gateway at the other end one passes into the 

 pink garden ; the cream-yellow clusters of Rose Alister Stella

 sentinel on either side with Convolvulus Minor at their feet,
