In Fig. 240 are shown a few designs suitable for carpet-beds. 

 They are intended merely to be suggestive, not to be copied pre- 

 cisely. The simple forms and component parts of the more 

 elaborate beds may be arranged into other designs. Likewise 

 the arrangement of plants, which will be mentioned as suitable 

 for making a given pattern, is only one of many possible com- 

 binations. The idea is merely to bring out the design dis- 

 tinctly. To accomplish this it is only necessary to use plants of 

 contrasting color or growth. To illustrate how varied are the 

 arrangements that may be used, and how easily different effects 

 are produced with a single design, several different combina- 

 tions of color for the bed No. 1 will be mentioned: 



No. 1. — Arrangement A : Outside, Alternanthera amoena spec- 

 tabilis; inside, Stevia serrata variegata. B: lobelia, Crystal
