Picturesque with pink Alstroemeria; and the deeper coloured Campanula 
Flower /atifolia with the Spireas, aruncus and gigantea. ‘The white 
Garden Campanula macrantha, which in Scotland and the North of 
England seems to excel most of the other varieties for effect, 
making spikes four to five feet high hung with large white 
or purple bells, is grouped with Delphiniums or white Mallows— 
Senecio Tang huiticus,the tall Thalictrums, and other yellow plants 
such as Jsatis glauca, grow near the deep blues of Monkshood, 
Dracocephalum Ruyschiana—Eryngium, Echinops, and the 
variegated form of the large Comfrey. 
Under the wall, which is clothed with creepers throughout 
its whole length, the curved border has still more richly coloured 
groups. The deep red Mozarda didyma, its taller Rosy form 
Kalmiana, and clumps of deep blue Monkshood grow below 
the B/ush Rambler, which hangs a sheet of rose colour on 
the wall near the white Roses which cling to the buttresses. 
In shadier places are groups of the exquisite green-blue 
Meconopsis Wallichii, and of the white Martagon Lily, thrown 
up by masses of the golden yellow Croceum. 
It was too early in the year for the full effect of all the 
half hardy plants, which are set out in June, such as the blue 
and scarlet Salvias, the pale yellow Calceolaria—of which very 
striking use is made by keeping the old plants — Lode/ia 
cardinalis, deep red Pentstemon, Heliotrope, etc. 
Another garden only a few miles away—Dalhousie— 
shows how successfully Roses can be grown in Scotland. All 
the newest Teas and Hybrids are tried there, and most of them 
with success. ‘The beds lie on a warm slope of the walled 
garden, with an extra screen of Irish Yews, which make 
the best of all backgrounds. Old-fashioned Hybrids, like
