THE SMALL PLACE 



liotrope and Cosmos, purple Pansies and brilliant 

 orange Zinnias, pink annual Larkspurs and salmon 

 pink Phlox, lemon yellow and orange Marigolds 

 and Mignonettes, Snapdragons and lovely scented 

 Stocks. Pots of tender flowers, sweet smelling 

 Lemon Verbena and Rose Geranium, are plunged 

 in the ground. 



It is a place for old-fashioned plants and favor- 

 ites, flowers of odd colors and curious shapes. It 

 is a medley of color, a spot full of fragrance. Little 

 surprises are at every turn, unexpected flowers are 

 found in hidden corners. There are blind paths 

 where steps have to be retraced through little 

 flower tangles. It has absorbed in a very short time 

 the indescribable old-fashioned quality of a colo- 

 nial garden.
