THE FOUNTAIN 175 



-which, is a clear yellow. The Florentina Alba gives 

 the white coloring, its flowers being very large and 

 fragrant. These two colors can be enhanced by the 

 adding of the Camillian which is a delicate blue 

 with falls tipped a little darker shade. These are 

 more suited for a fountain with a low curbing or 

 for an informal garden where cement is used. 

 They give a very pretty effect, their flowers being 

 pictured in the water below. 



Pansies are never out of place. A very pretty 

 idea is to have them massed for as many as eight 

 inches around the curb. Choose for these, bright- 

 colored varieties rather than dark. The tufted 

 pansies, which are one of the most important bed- 

 ding plants in Europe, are rapidly growing in 

 favor in our country. One reason for this is that 

 they flower continuously for nearly eight months 

 in the year. The flowers are not as large as those 

 of the single pansy, but their bright colors make 

 them a welcome addition to our garden. The rich, 

 golden yellow, the violet with a dark eye and the 

 white, are all three admirable for this purpose. 



Pansies love coolness and give their, largest and 

 ^finest flowers in early spring and late fall. They 

 are so easy to grow, rioting in the cool, deep mel-
