In the center mound, plant a fine specimen of Arundo donax, or one 

 of the Pampas Grass. In each of the pear-shaped beds, put a different 

 colored geranium, the tallest species at the stem end, and the Tom 

 Thumb varieties at the broadest edge. In the circles plant some white 

 flowers that will retain their beauty. In the crescents, brilliant scarlet 

 flowers; and in the bordering of the half moon, either try ribbon 

 gardening, or fill up with a mosaic in squares of scarlet, white, purple.
