"STILL TO THE SORCERY OF AUGUST SKIES 

 IN FRILLED CRIMSON FLAUNT THE HOLLYHOCKS, 

 * * * LIGHTLY POISED ALONG THE GARDEN WALKS," 



Percy MacKaye 



At the knees of the tall Hollyhocks (left) stand Canter- 

 bury-bells and Swan River Daisies with Sweet 

 Alyssum lifting lowly bloom in front, while just oppo- 

 site Petunia and Larkspur play the favorite French tune 

 of rose-et-bleu. One of the pleasantest things about 

 a walk like this is the tiny gay rivulets of bloom that 

 meander underfoot yielding spicy fragrance to the 

 careless tread. Garden of Mrs. L. H. Lapham, New 

 Canaan, Conn.
