What to Plant 



To prevent misconception, I must remind the 

 reader that the scheme of this book precludes 

 my dealing with the scientific side of horti- 

 culture, which is a wide subject, and has been 

 ably and exhaustively treated by other writers. 

 It is not my intention to offer advice as to 

 what to grow, or how to grow the countless 

 beautiful flowers which are available for our 

 gardens. 



Each gardener will consult his inclinations 

 and individual preferences in selecting the 

 flowers and trees for his garden, and whatever 

 he may decide to grow will in no way affect the 

 value of the suggestions which follow, for he is 

 at liberty. to adopt or reject as his fancy dictates. 

 But it will help him in the work of planning 

 his garden on the lines herein advocated, if he 

 knows something of the relative values of the 

 various flowers, shrubs and trees, as aids to 

 achieving an artistic result.
