THE SMALL PLACE 



Lupines, Anchusas, and Delphiniums carry along 

 the blue effect while Gypsophila, Anthemis kel- 

 wayi, Lilium svorzianum, and yellow Thalictrums 

 give touches of white, cream, yellow, and orange. 

 Here, the plants are arranged in large irregularly 

 interplanted clumps so that they blend the flower 

 masses together. Such treatment seems to hide 

 the plants out of bloom as they form drifts of 

 foliage to offset the plants in bloom. By such 

 methods the border seems always in full bloom 

 for there are enough plants of each variety to give 

 distinct effects. 



In the pink border pink Lupines, pink Oriental 

 Poppies, pink Sweet William, Canterbury Bells, 

 and Hollyhocks follow one another in the spring 

 and early summer, later on there are pink Phloxes 

 and then Japanese Anemones give a delicate 

 fall effect, but perhaps the finest time to see the 

 pink border is at Tulip time. Then pink and 

 white Phlox subulata is making a bright edging 

 along the lawn and in back of it are the Tulips. 

 There are the brilliant rose Tulip "Clara Butt," 

 the soft rose Tulip "Loveliness," the exquisite 

 dove-colored Tulip "The Fawn," and a few of 

 the curious Tulip viridiflora, called the "Green 

 Tulip." These are planted in broad masses
