S71HIS riot of colour is characteristic of June's 

 ± lavish brush. The bright pink Rose on 

 the arbour is Empress of China, the rich-hued 

 Peony below it is Louis Van Houtte. The rest 

 is a tangle of white Peonies Festiva maxima and 

 Duchesse de Nemours, purple-flowered Cam- 

 panula latifolia macrantha, the gay Pink Beauty 

 Sweet William, and Nepeta Mussini. 



In April and May we have along the edge of 

 this border a bright succession of bloom. Pat- 

 ches of bright yellow Daffodils, Tulip Thomas 

 Moore, hardy Candytuft, soft sulphur-coloured 

 Alyssum, Sun Roses, and the new Anchusa 

 myosotidiflora, growing both in the bed and down 

 in the path among Foxgloves, Sweet Williams, 

 and other rovers. 



The chronicle of this four-foot border is a gay 

 one throughout the season. Midsummer finds 

 it boasting bright yellow Evening Primroses 

 (Oenotheras Youngi and Afterglow), early white 

 Phlox Miss Lingard, Monkshood, and Spiked 

 Veronica for blue, brilliant Canada Lilies (Lil- 

 ium canadense), and some yellow Sunflowers 

 that have been removed many times but seem able 

 ever to retain a foothold. 



Rich purple Michaelmas Daisies strike the 

 last note here as in so many parts of the garden. 



In Plate No. 4- (May 1st) the spring version 

 of this border may be seen painted from the 

 opposite end.
