care for a few flowers. This plan provides 

 for both. 



The shrubbery is arranged to give a succes- 

 sion of flowers, berries and brightly colored 

 bark, so that it will be presentable the year 

 round with a minimum of effort. 



The floral feature here suggested is a com- 

 plete collection of hardy water-lilies and 

 lotus. The basin is about 12 x 24 ft. The 

 cost of water-lilies is included but not the 

 basin. A good concrete basin of this size 

 will not cost more than $100 unless unusual 

 difficulties in construction are met with. 



This would make a delightful hobby. It 

 appeals to the collecting instinct, because you 

 could have all the hardy water-lilies costing 

 less than $3 each. 



If you cannot afford a water garden, you 

 could have a formal garden in this secluded 

 corner, as the shrubbery is arranged to hide 

 such a feature. 



The detailed list of nymphneas and nelum- 

 bos to be used in planting are as follows — 

 The figures refer to the locations and the 

 words indicate the number of plants allowed : 



Nymphaea: 1, one tetragona, var. helvola; 2, two Mar- 

 liacea var. chromatella; 3, one odorata, var. sulphurea

 sonii; 6, one Marliacea, var. albida; 7, one alba, var.

4. PERENNIALS AND CRISES, $IOO 



This plan is only for a flower lover, who 

 wants to live an hour outdoors every day, 

 and who wants to make a specialty of some 

 wonderfully varied flower such as phlox or 

 peony. The hobby here suggested is the 

 Iris, which is rightly called the "poor man's 

 orchid." This is not an absolutely complete 

 collection, for there is no such thing, but 

 it provides for more species than you can 

 buy anywhere in this country. There will 

 be irises in bloom from February to Novem- 

 ber, and they will present an extraordinary 

 variety of color combinations. 



The irises that like wet feet are to be 

 crowded round a little basin in the back- 

 yard where the birds may drink, and space 

 is provided for a coldframe where a man 

 may grow those gorgeous irises which have 

 to be protected from rain in the summer time 

 when their roots should be baking in the 

 hot sunshine. A hedge is indicated as 

 desirable, but the cost is not included. The 

 following named varieties are suggested. 



Bearded iris: 1, six Purple King; 2, three Mme. Cher- 

 eau; 3, six Mrs. G. Darwin; 4, three Mr. Gladstone; 5, six
