T^EHIND this brilliant group are strong 

 il clumps of Gypsophila paniculata which, 

 by the time the Poppies are ready for a rather 

 disorderly retreat underground and the yellowing 

 stalks of the Valerian are cut down, has spread a 

 rejuvenating web of wiry branches and delicate 

 gray-green foliage above their heads and rescued 

 the border from dire forlornity. 



Again the long branches of the Michaelmas 

 Daisy Top Sawyer, planted between clumps of 

 pink Phlox, in turn are drawn forward to hide 

 the gentle passing of the Gypsophila. 



The August aspect of this bit of raised border 

 is shown in plate No. 21 (August 10th). 



The spring display here is composed of 

 Cottage Tulip Leghorn Bonnet, Phlox subulata 

 G. F. Wilson, and dwarf purple Irises.
