GARDEN POOLS 139 



all the hardy ones and the best are the double va- 

 rieties with six petals. Kokinoiro, a rich royal 

 purple with white veining is very satisfactory in 

 growth. Combine it with the Sano-Watashi, which 

 is white with canary yellow center, and the Tokyo, 

 a magnificent large, white flower, and you will find 

 one of the best combinations possible. 



Ornamental grasses are very effective for this 

 use. Of these, there are so many varieties it would 

 be impossible to name them all. One of the most 

 ornamental kinds is the Zebra grass, which has 

 long, narrow green leaves, striped white and feath- 

 ery plumed. Mix it with the Pampas grass and 

 you will note the artistic result. This grows very 

 rapidly from seed planted in the spring and is use- 

 ful for decorative purposes. The Feather grass, 

 growing two feet in height, fits into this scheme as 

 does the Tricholsena Rosea, which is rose tinted, 

 making a color scheme when massed with the other 

 ornamental grasses that is most fascinating. 

 "" The form and surroundings of the pool, carefully 

 thought out, make it a most desirable feature for 

 both small and large gardens, and everyone, no 

 matter how limited their means, can indulge in one 

 if they wish.
