BUTTON PLACE 301 



But the Michaelmas Daisy, or Starwort, is the 

 rightful owner of the name Aster. 



There are over a hundred species of Michaelmas 

 Daisies chiefly natives of North America ; they 

 are easy to grow, but need a good soil. The 

 chief matter is where to place them in a Garden, 

 their freedom of growth often causing them to 

 destroy other plants. But grown as in this old 

 Walled Garden in masses quite freely, they give 

 colour and effect late into the Autumn. 



The beauty of this Garden is greatly enhanced 

 by its background of old brick walls in places 

 almost rose-pink in colour always of such great 

 value as an effective setting for flowers. 



The second Walled or Kitchen Garden is well and 

 artistically stocked with Apple trees, vegetables and 

 flowers, all cleverly mixed up together, and in arrange- 

 ment all in keeping with the date of the House. 



These two walled Gardens are all that remain of 

 the old Gardens belonging to Sutton Place. They 

 possess a pensive charm always to be found in an 

 enclosed Garden, for without doubt the perfect 

 Garden is one that is walled or hedged round the 

 very word Garden itself means " enclosed space." 

 The cry for views does not come from the true 

 Garden-lover, but one in love with wide extending 

 landscape beauties and the lovely woods and valleys 

 created by Nature, all of which surely lie apart from 

 the simple beauties of a Garden.
