fT^HIS bit of border is characteristic of the rich 

 ± colouring of the midsummer garden. The 

 flowers shown are Tiger Lilies, Mulleins (Ver- 

 bascum phlomoides), the double orange Day Lily 

 (Hemerocallis Kwanso), blue Spiked Veronica, 

 Chinese Bellflowers, and Globe Thistles (Echi- 

 nops Ritro). 



By turning to Plate No. 23 (September 10th) 

 it may be seen how in a few weeks the picture may 

 be completely reconstructed. The long branches 

 of tall-growing plants at the back have been drawn 

 down to cover their passe predecessors, and the bor- 

 der again blooms as freshly as before. 



Nor in the earlier seasons was this spot devoid 

 of bloom, for along the stone edging rioted the 

 lovely white Sandwort (Arenaria montana), yel- 

 low and creamy Sun Roses (Helianthemum) , 

 a trail of Daffodils, and some groups of lavender 

 Tulip Dream. 



These in turn are followed by the blossoming of 

 a large clump of Iris Madame Chereau accom- 

 panied by a few heads of lacelike Valerian and 

 some yellow Columbines (Aquilegia chrysantha). 

 Farther along in this border the beautiful Lil- 

 ium Brownii has grown and increased for many 

 years.
