VIEWS AND VISTAS 



easy, after the path is made, to form little inlets here and 

 there, and to fill them with special soil for the sake of 

 some of the exquisite shade-loving plants that need it, 

 the Wood Lilies or Trilliums, some of the true Lilies, 

 hardy Ferns, and others. With such helps as these, and 

 by scattering Foxglove, Poppy, and Evening Primrose 

 seed, by planting Bluebells, Primroses, and broad- 

 leaved Bellflowers, and finally by sowing the walk in 

 grass, or flagging it with stones, there shall arise a garden 

 of intense interest the seasons round, and one that has 

 infinite variety. There are still other ways in which most 

 gardens can be given an added charm, and my sugges- 

 tions may put the home gardener on the alert so that op- 

 portunities shall not be neglected. Any object that is 

 in itself unattractive should have every consideration 

 before it is removed, every characteristic studied before 

 it is condemned.
