 reasonably be expected to give a fair return either 

 in flowers or berries. Fyrus Japonioa, the Honey-

 the evergreen and deciduous Magnolias, Garrya 

 elliptica, and the Passion-flower [Passiflora asralea). 

 We strongly urge that every available foot oii wall

Against the walls of the house more room will 

 generally be found on the garden side of the building 



By occupying only a limited portion of the side 

 borders with shrubs of a bush foi-m, there would be 

 room enough for a fair quantitj' of flowering plants, 

 such as the ordinary run of bedding plants, those 

 of the herbaceous section, and annuals even, when it 

 is not deemed necessary to have many of the first- 

 named kinds. The shrubs as they increase in size 

 will occupy too much room, and it will be better 

 then to exchange them for smaller ones than to 

 allow this increase in size to go on.
