r l ifflS gay detail is part of a procession of 

 ± Wistarias and scarlet and white Tulips 

 that follows the broad transverse path in front of 

 the Garden House. The Tulips are the Cottage 

 variety White Swan and the sweet-scented, glow- 

 ing T. Gesneriana spathulata major. 



Earlier in the year Crocuses in purple and 

 lavender tones outlined the border edges. The 

 Tulips and Crocuses are planted between tufts 

 of Heuchera in coral and pale pink and thrifty 

 plants of the Carpathian Hairbell (Campanula 

 carpatica). These keep the border edge gay 

 until frost. 



Behind these are German Irises aurea and 

 Celeste, for J.une flowering; Delphiniums for 

 early July; and for the late summer and early 

 autumn a striking planting of the brilliant Phlox 

 Coquelicot and Campanula lactiflora E. Moli- 

 neaux, with its wedge-shaped heads of lovely 

 blue-lavender bells.
