134 AUTUMNAL COLOR ON THE LAWN. 



To sum up, we do not want a Pei'sian rug on our autumn 

 lawns, nor a hap-hazard, inartistic dotting about of plants. 

 Much less do we want a wild wood about our doors at any 

 time. But we do want solid backgrounds of greens, and 

 browns, and grays, intermingled with naked branches. The 

 richer colors we need on outer boundaries, and flashing bits 

 of red or yellow, singly or on prominent points, and beyond 

 all, up to the very house, broad stretches of gi'eensward.
