Carpeting of large flowers with those of low growing habit. Arabis, 
Plants Aubrietia, Hypericum, Linarias—-allida and Cymbalaria—make 
an excellent foundation for the great spikes of Eremuri or other

annuals are added to fill the spaces occupied by masses of 
Daffodils, Snowdrops, Scillas, Crocus, etc.

very complete in themselves, containing as they do many rarities 
introduced for the first time, but are also most admirably dis- 
tributed and arranged in harmony with their exceptionally 
picturesque surroundings.
