58 GARDEN PLANNING AND PLANTING 



FIG. 3 



A graceful bed is Fig. 5, in which lines of 

 Saxifraga hypnoides, variegated Arabis, or 

 Sedutn acre, the Yellow Stonecrop, divide 

 perhaps crimson from rose Begonias, or pink 

 Geraniums and mauve Violas. This is a fair 

 expedient, too, for separating two sorts oi 

 fancy Pansies. 



A round bed well edged in scallops is shown: 

 by Fig. 6 ; this edge 



mim ^ ^^^^ can be of any small, 



^ evergreen foliage 



subject, but Sedum 

 acre is excellent. 

 A shrubby little 

 golden variegated 

 Euonymus is a good 

 centrepiece, B ; the 

 line c could be of 

 the same plant as 

 the scalloped edge, 

 or else a green 

 mossy Saxifrage for 

 contrast. The 

 flowers at A and 

 D could be white 

 Stocks and Begonia 

 semperflorens. A 

 study of possible 

 evergreen dwarf per- 

 ennials will reveal 

 other suitable plants, such as Erinua! 

 hirsutus, Cerastiums, Wulfenia car- 

 inthiaca, Spergula pilifera, and 

 Sedum album and brevifolium. 



Beds of various shape. It is 

 usual to plant standard Roses rounc| 

 lawns, each alone in a small roundj 

 bed, but the effect is much prettier 



if the beds are not^all round but of different shapes. Of the design* 

 given here, Figs. 1, 3, 6, and 8 are most suitable for such beds, though; 

 they are also excellent for other and'much larger ones, either in grass|
