THE PINK FAMILY OUTDOORS 309 



or lily, that is a bit whimsical about food and 

 lodging, each one must have a garden of its own, so 

 to speak, which, for the amateur, may be made to read 

 as a special bed in a special location, and not neces- 

 sarily a vast area. 



This need is always recognized in the English gar- 

 den books, and the chapter headings, The Rose Garden, 



Hardy Garden, Wall Garden, Lily Garden, 



Alpine Garden, etc., lead one at first sight to think 

 that it is a great estate alone that can be so treated ; 

 but it is merely a horticultural protest, born of long 

 experience, against mixing races to their mutual hurt, 

 and this precaution, together with the climate, makes 

 of all England a gardener's paradise ! 



What you say of the expansiveness of the list of 

 fragrant flowers and leaves is also true, for taken in 

 the literal sense there are really few plants without an 

 individual odour of some sort in bark, leaf, or flower 

 usually sufficient to identify them. In a recent 

 book giving what purports to be a list of fra- 

 grant flowers and leaves, the chrysanthemum is in- 

 cluded, as it gives out an aromatic perfume from its 

 leaves ! This is true, but so also does the garden mari- 

 gold, and yet we should not include either among 

 fragrant leaves in the real sense.
