 the quantities are reduced to one-third, therefore, the 

 ultimate effect will be the same, but this will not result 

 until the second summer after planting. Many people 

 prefer (on the score of saving expense, etc.) to plant 

 more thinly, fill in the intervening spaces with annuals, 

 and wait for full development. By a judicious use of 

 common sense a great deal may be done in this way, 

 and in planning a garden it must always be remem- 

 bered that personal tastes have to be considered.
