COLOUR IN MY GARDEN 



that may be said to belong among these unappreciated 

 treasures. 



I do not deny that there are poor and wishy-washy tones 

 of magenta and that these are not desirable; but where the 

 colour is frank and pure and used with a right intermingling 

 of green and other soft friendly hues, there is none more 

 beautiful and distinctive. It requires only such consid- 

 eration as we give as a matter of course to blue or scarlet, 

 but which is certainly not vouchsafed magenta in the gar- 

 dens of to-day.
