A WOMAN^S HARDY GARDEN 



plant it there. They do finely on the south 

 side of a house, on arches, summer-houses 

 and trellises. I have a trellis along one 

 side of a grass walk three hundred and fifty 

 feet long. At each post are planted two 

 Roses, a Crimson Rambler and a Wichu- 

 raiana. The Wichuraiana blossoms when the 

 Rambler is done. Imagine the beauty of 

 this trellis when the Roses are in bloom! 

 On the other side of this walk there is a 

 border four feet wide, with shrubs at the 

 back, filled, all of the three hundred and 

 fifty feet, with many varieties of perennials, 

 also with Lilies and annuals planted in 

 wherever a foot of space can be found. 



All of the Ramblers are good, but none 

 blooms so luxuriantly as the crimson. The 

 Chmbing Clothilde Soupert, Baltimore Belle 

 and Climbing Wootton are also fine. Of 

 the Wichuraiana Hybrids, Jersey Beauty and 

 Evergreen Gem are the best. The foliage 

 is lovely, and the perfume of the flowers 

 delicious,
