SUBURBAN GARDENS 33 



Irose, more Columbines, and variegated Periwinkles, behind the seat, 

 Kvhich stood upon a plot of gravel, as grass would have proved too 

 klamp. The coldest shadiest corner of all, J,' held a fern rockery, the 

 |wall climbed by glossy Ivy. The border B beyond the trellis did 

 or summer rows of Parsley. 



An open position to the east enabled border i to gain much 

 aorning sunshine all its length, and south sunshine as well towards 

 he end, so Achilleas, Hollyhocks, Delphiniums, Loganberries, 

 Climbing Rosep, Heleniums, Sweet Rockets, Snapdragons, the 

 ellow Scabious and Paeonies made a fine show in it, with innumer- 

 ble dwarf plants to edge by the lawn. The hot part of the garden, 

 >order H, held a dwarf Apple tree, Cox's Orange Pippin, with 

 limbing Roses behind, also Cobaea scandens up the hurdles and wall 

 ,dded each summer : foreground groups of Carnations, Iceland 

 D oppies, Violas, and Pinks, background ones of Peruvian Lilies 

 Alstromerias), Sweet Peas, and Alkanet (Anchusa) gave plenty of 

 >eauty and interest. Border G contained Pyrethrums, Snow-in- 

 ummer, dwarf herbaceous Geraniums, Spanish Iris, Rose trees, and 

 /iolas. The bed K possessed a white Chimney Campanula for a 

 entrepiece, and was filled with bedding and bulbous plants in 

 otation. All along the edge of the walk ran a low rockery line that 

 roved valuable as a softening effect and for giving places for the 

 ultivation of great numbers of dwarf plants. Arches across the 

 >ath would, in this case, have hidden a charming view of distant 

 ills.
