A pink and a French Poppy of a perfect shade of pink, called Sutton's 

 Garden Chamois Rose, is added to the group as an introduction to the 

 new scheme. The straight path continues through hedges of 

 common Monthly Rose with Lavender waving above ; late 

 evening is the time to see this border at its best, when the 

 sun lights up the soft pink to a more glowing colour. On the 

 right is the Rose-garden with a cupola of Climbing Roses in the 

 centre, and beds of free-growing Hybrids and Teas about it. 

 Forming a boundary between this scene of beauty and the 

 wood are borders of French and Mikado Poppies, Godetias, pink 

 Mallows, Clarkia, etc. 



The sketch done at Milton Court, near Dorking, shows a 

 totally different effect gained by a gorgeous blending of all sorts 

 of annuals in a border, opposed to one of cool blues, whites and 

 yellows mostly of perennials, such as, White Phlox, Veronicas, 

 Anchusas, Sidalcea Itsteri, Achillea mongolica^ Arctotis grandis, 

 Eryngiums, Campanulas, etc.
