n^HE Rose on the arbour is Trier, the Rose 

 J over the gate is Wm. C. Egan. The buff 

 and pink Hollyhocks are the result of chance 

 crosses between the yellow Fig-leaved Hollyhock 

 (Althaea ficifolia) and the ordinary pink and 

 crimson sorts. Phlox Elizabeth Campbell and 

 Aster Climax are set behind the Hollyhocks 

 and a few white Musk Mallows just in front. 



White and pink Peonies are along the edge 

 of this bed for earlier bloom with the pretty pink 

 and white Cottage Tulip Picotee planted in 

 groups between and showing charmingly among 

 the crimson Peony shoots at the time of their 

 flowering in early May. 



The Delphiniums and Yellow Foxgloves (Dig- 

 italis ambigua) of the picture are in another 

 bed across a narrow path. The Foxgloves 

 are interplanted with Sea Lavender (Statice 

 latifolia), whose great heads of lavender mist- 

 like bloom expand in August and hide the de- 

 capitated stalks. 



About the Delphiniums grow Campanula 

 lactiflora alba magnifica, and the beautiful 

 russet Helenium autumnale rubrumfor late sum- 

 mer and autumn bloom.
