How to Make a Flower Garden 



An appropriate place for seats, arbours, sun-dials, and other useful 

 and attractive accessories will be found as the plan develops. 



In planting, the purpose should be to establish an effective display 

 of colour in foliage, flowers, twigs, or fruits in their season, rather than a 

 varied and interesting collection of plants — if it is a flower garden rather 

 than a botanic garden that is to be created. This will be accomplished 

 best by using in large quantities the few varieties that will give the best 

 floral or other effects desired, rather than many varieties in small 

 quantities. Obviously, trees or shrubs having a wide spread cannot be 

 used unless trimmed constantly.
