THE WELL-CONSIDERED GARDEN 



permitted to show their stout heads among the 

 early-flowering white cosmos, the dwarf variety; 

 and more lovely even than these was the picture 

 before touched upon of pearly-white platycodon 

 with fluffy heads of the double rose-pink poppy 

 encompassing it about. These arrangements may 

 strike the expert flower gardener as too common- 

 place to be entertained. I offer them as points 

 of departure and already think with satisfaction 

 of the loveliness that may spring from them in 

 better hands than mine.
