Michaelmas of-the-way corner, too sunless for many flowers, will suit them 

 Daisy effects quite well, where they can remain unnoticed till they become 

 a feathery mass of white, mauve and purple. In planting for 

 such an effect, it is very important to know the heights of each 

 variety, so as to be sure of not swamping some altogether, and 

 yet to give a varied outline, bringing some tall sorts near the 

 front of the bed and some to break the edge with their graceful 

 sprays. Their soft colouring would be well thrown out by 

 Hollies or Yews, or they may be given a background of warmer 

 tone, formed of shrubs that turn a golden brown or deep soft 

 purple in Autumn. The varieties given in the following list 

 will be found to make an effective group : 



Robert Parker tall good-sized mauve flower making a 



large, well-divided head. 

 Margaret a blue-mauve, very tall. 

 Harper Crewe tall white flowers smaller than the above 



and set in a close head. 

 Punisius Pulclerrimiis very tall with large flowers of the 



palest lilac. 



Top Sawyer a large tall mauve one. 

 Candida good tall white one. 

 Cordtfolia elegans with a very branching growth, dark 



stems, and a multitude of tiny mauve flowers. 

 Cordtfolia elegans grandis much the same as above, only 

 finer. Both these sorts are excellent for picking and 

 very graceful. 



Ericoides a low white, with sprays of tiny flowers. 

 Viminius similar to Ericoides^ but with longer and very 



graceful sprays. 

 For forming a border of graduated heights, Amellus Bcssa-
