the quantities are reduced to one-third, therefore, the 
ultimate effect will be the same, but this will not result 
until the second summer after planting. Many people 
prefer (on the score of saving expense, etc.) to plant 
more thinly, fill in the intervening spaces with annuals, 
and wait for full development. By a judicious use of 
common sense a great deal may be done in this way, 
and in planning a garden it must always be remem- 
bered that personal tastes have to be considered.
