CARPET -BEDDING 



Large plants can be used in the centre of any 

 of these designs, if one cares to do so, with very 

 good effect. For this purpose we have few 

 plants that will give greater satisfaction than the 

 Dahlia. Scarlet Salvia would be very effective if 

 yellow Coleus were used about it, but it would 

 not please if surrounded with red Coleus, as the 



No. 5. 



red of the plant and the red of the flower would 

 not harmonize. A Canna of rich, dark green 

 would make a fine centre plant for a bed in which 

 red Coleus served as a background. One of the 

 dark copper-colored varieties would show to fine 

 effect if surrounded with either yellow Pyreth- 

 rum or gray Centaurea.
