terial. It will convince you that success does 

 not depend so much on what and how much 

 you use as upon how you use it. 



If you have a plant-room, it will be well 

 worth your while to grow quite a number of 

 bushy, low-growing plants to use as filling 

 between the larger ones, in the working out 

 of your decorative schemes. One of the very 

 best plants for this purpose is the Madame 

 Salleroi Geranium, with its green and white 

 fohage, and round, compact habit of growth. 

 Another excellent one is Asparagus plumosus 

 nanus, with its dainty, graceful, feathery foli- 

 age. This is particularly useful in forming 

 backgrounds for flowers of brilliant color. 

 Large plants of English Ivy are invaluable for 

 decorative work, as they can be used on the 

 walls, about doors and windows — anywhere 

 and everywhere in fact — in almost every 

 scheme you may evolve.
