A Little Maryland Garden 137 
inclined to sulk because they have not more 
sun. Here too are the charming Lemoine 
gladiolus. In time the yuccas and tritomas 
will crowd out the slighter members of the 
family. A Baby Rambler rose is in the 
“happy family.”” It ought by rights to be 
across the line, sharing the aristocratic 
seclusion of the other roses. But one of its 
recommendations was that it would grow 
in a mixed border, with other plants, and 
I had a mind to see if it would do what 
its sponsors promised for it. It is a rather 
flat, dull pink, not the bright crimson of the 
parent rambler. Perhaps if it were restored 
to the society of its kind it would take on a 
livelier colour. 
I am planning now to lengthen the peach- 
tree bed, stretching it into the sunshine, 
so as to have more space for sun-loving 
annuals. Perhaps then sweet peas could 
again find a place in the garden, from which 
they have been crowded by the lengthening 
shadows of the shrubs, as they grow taller 
every year.
