Ons plant of No. 28, baby's breath, is \\ ft. 

 from the northeast corner of the fourth square 

 and a second plant of this is on the line which 

 separates the fourth from the fifth square. 

 Drive stakes for these five plants, fastening a 

 number or label to each stake to avoid con- 

 fusion, so that when the actual planting time 

 arrives everything goes at once to its place. 



From the stake opposite, or north of, 20S, 

 measure north again 5 ft. and drive a 

 stake. This gives 10 ft. from the southern 

 boundary and is therefore opposite, and east 

 of, 10W. From the stake at 10W stretch the 

 cord to the stake just driven — and now the 

 northern boundary of the second set of 

 squares is found. In the first one are two 

 plants of No. 1. Dig the holes and plant 

 these at once. 



Now proceed to stake off the perennials in 

 order as they come; three plants of No. 30, 

 (\ r ucca) in the first square; two of the same 

 in the second square; seven of No. 20 (Sweet 

 William), in the second square with one on 

 the line and two of the same in square three; 

 five of No.2g (gold flower) in this square with 

 three of the same in the fourth square and 

 one of No. 28 (baby's breath), to make the 

 planting complete up to the fifth set of 

 squares. 



All the planting within the space bounded 

 by the lines o to 10W, 10W to X, X to 20S 

 and 20 S to o may now be finished, before 

 pulling up stakes and proceeding east another 

 20 feet. 



For the next section measure in just the 

 same way on the southern boundary 20 ft., 

 driving a stake every 5 ft., then at the point 

 40S, measure north 5 ft., drive a stake 

 and stretch the cord from it back to the stake 

 5 ft. north of 20S. Stake off the big shrubs 

 and plant them just as in the first sec- 

 tion and drive stakes for the smaller stuff. 



Then measure 5 ft. north again, just as in 

 the first section, and plant the shrubs in this 

 space, and all of the perennials of this sec- 

 tion. 



Now on the lines running north from 40S 

 and 30S measure another 5 ft. and stretch 

 the cord from the stakes at these two points. 

 This encloses the two squares which contain 

 the three plants of No. 24 (Hydrangea), and 

 also gives a line from which to measure for 

 the tree. This is 2 \ ft. east of the eastern 

 boundary of these squares and 1 ft. south of 

 their northern boundary. It should be 

 planted before the hydrangea. 



Proceed in the same way the length of the 

 border, dividing it into 20-ft. spaces and these 

 in turn into 5-ft. squares. The same method 

 applies to all planting wherever it may 

 be. Around the building measure from the 

 building in just the same way.

To transfer a plan from piper to the ground, first ruie off the drawing into squares at, say, \ntervals of five feet on the scale. Stake out the boundary lines ofthe 

 proposed garden, at corresponding intervals, and by stretchtng cords to intersecting points, the exact place for a given plant can be determined. Drive staKes in 

 the places indicated, and label or number to agree with planting list
