OUR MOUNTAIN GARDEN 



well worth cultivating in the border, or the 

 wild garden. The wild morning-glory is 

 another charming weed. I plant it under 

 certain shrubs which flower in early spring, 

 and by the time their own blossoms have 

 faded this pretty vine is ready to bedeck 

 the shrub anew with its delicate pink wine- 

 glasses. The common blue sand vetch will 

 do the same thing if well dosed with phos- 

 phate, and fill any shrub with its blue 

 clusters. In the fall both kinds of vines 

 can be stript from the shrub they have 

 climbed into, so that it is not at all injured 

 by them. 



In short, there is no end to the experi- 

 ments one can try and the combinations 

 one can make in a garden which is all one's 

 own, and where one is undisturbed by the 

 disapproving eye of a professional gardener.
