woods " ; even those that in themselves have few claims 

 to beautiful tinting add variety and give increased 

 charm to the whole display. Some fre*-> and shrubs 

 are especially fascinating in their a> oj curing, 



and their inclusion in any schen i.iwg adds

 add so much to the attractiveness of the garden when 

 the flower year is passing,

 have had an excellent display of blossom the following
