largest varieties of lemon and orange colored mari- 

 golds ; in front of these calliopsis, then yellow Cali- 

 fornia poppies (Eschscholzia), bordering the entire 

 bed with dwarf marigolds. I would sow broadcast 

 both calliopsis and California poppies. 



Next we will compose a symphony in blue; be- 

 ginning at the rear sow giant larkspurs, then broad- 

 cast Kaiser-blumen (cornflowers), and border the en- 

 tire mass with dwarf blue ageratum. I once planned 

 a little blue garden like this for a very little girl, and 

 she called it her " fairyland." 



Now that we've planned flowers for day beauty, 

 blossoms which reflect both sunlight and sky, we 

 must arrange another bed which we will call our 

 night garden. 



Here sow great masses of nicotiana affinis, then in 

 front broadcast with candytuft, using sweet alyssum 

 for the border. 



Everyone loves hedges ; we associate them with old 

 gardens and long loved homes, yet the very thought 

 of a hedge seems intimidating, as we naturally think 

 of the years of continuous growth they generally 

 represent. 



However, even in our transient home we may have 

 imitation hedges; they will not be as high as our
