AND AA'lNTER EFFECT. 



garden iir the autumn and winter months plant 



clumps of such autumn-flowering bulbs as the autumn crocuses, colchicums, Scilla 

 autumnalis and Galanthus cilicicus. Late-sown nemesias will flower right up to the 

 severe frosts, as will other dwarf annuals, such as leptosiphon and brachycome. 

 Anemone japonica is indispensable. Japanese maples and azaleas in the background 

 will give superbly rich colour effects in late autumn. A mass of the d^^'arf Thuja 

 Rheingold will harmonise with the colour of the maples and azaleas and with the tints 

 of deciduous trees at that season. Spiraea Thunbergi and Berberis AMlsoni should 

 not be omitted. Jasminum nudiflorum and the witch hazels will link late autumn 

 with the first arrivals of the New Year, namely, snowdrops, winter aconites and 

 Crocuses Imperati, tomassinianus, etc. Ceratostigma plumbaginoides (syn. Plumbago 

 Larpenta;) should be planted freely on rock wahs, and Corydalis Wilsoni at their base. 

 A liberal planting of dwarf conifers will afford a sight of beauty even in mid-winter.
