The 
An old-fashioned garden of perennials which will provide a good succession of flowers for $75 
to the back of the lawn and put them in 
front of the shrubbery masses where they 
will have a good background of green foliage 
to set off the brilliancy of the flowers. 
It would require $100 to furnish a lot 
of this size with flowering shrubs in suffi- 
cient quantity and variety to line three sides 
of the lot and give attractive flowers and 
berries throughout the year. Moreover, 
a single line of shrubs would not be artistic. 
It would be thin and formal. It is essential 
that the shrubbery should be three or four 
rows deep at the corners and at one or two 
other places, in order to give an irregular 
outline to the shrubbery border. 
However, if you can afford only $50 this 
year for shrubbery, plan No. 2 may be a 
good one for you if your interest is chiefly 
in vegetables and fruit, and your feeling 
toward the ornamental part of the grounds 
is simply a desire to maintain a good lawn 
and a general air of neatness with a mini- 
mum of expense. 
3. A PERENNIAL GARDEN FOR $75 
Plan No. 3 is adapted only to a flower 
lover who has had considerable experience 
and is willing to spend an average of two 
hours a day, or else an hour a day and hire 
$50 worth of help during the year. It is 
particularly designed for someone who 
demands a formal garden composed chiefly 
of hardy perennial flowers and even the cost 
of a hedge in the front yard is not included. 
The ideal arrangement would be to put 
this hedge in the backyard and compress 
the flower beds at the sides and back so as 
to form a continuous stretch of flowers. 
This would give a seclusion to the garden 
and make all of the floral features part of 
an organic scheme. In all these plans I 
like to indicate two methods of using the 
same material, showing the common or 
thoughtless way of scattering things and 
the more refined and artistic method, which

tries to make all the planting part of an 
organic scheme. 
I have given a good deal of thought to 
this old-fashioned garden in order to pro- 
vide a good succession of flowers and to 
avoid any bad color discords. Of course, 
the ideal thing would be to edge all these 
walks with dwarf box in order to reproduce 
the spirit of Colonial gardens. But this 
would add perhaps $25 more to the expense. 
4. ACOLLECTOR’S GARDEN FOR $100 
At first thought nothing would seem to 
be more ridiculous than specializing to such 
a degree as is indicated by plan No. 4, 
which provides for a complete collection of 
hardy euonymus; yet I am convinced that 
the place would not look at all freaky and 
that the ordinary passer-by would never 
imagine that so small a lot contained a 
complete collection of a rare and interesting 
‘group of plants. The great practical value 
of this plan is that it provides an abundance 
of showy berries and bright color during 
the winter months when nearly all American 
homes look bleak and cheerless. 
The genus Euonymus presents an aston- 
ishing variety of hardy bushes — some tall, 
some medium, and some so dwarf as to be 
merely ground coyers. It also includes a 
species which is a climbing evergreen vine, 
considerably hardier than the English ivy and 
better than it for all practical purposes in the 
North, or wherever English ivy will not thrive. 
This variety is Euonymus radicans, which 
will grow from fifteen to twenty feet high. 
A garden with such a collection of berried 
shrubs will furnish masses of foliage through- 
out the growing season, and during the cold 
weather the bright orange-scarlet fruits give 
life and beauty to a landscape which is 
otherwise dull and bleak.

published in the January, 1907, GARDEN 
MaAGAZINE-F ARMING, on page 285, describing 
fully all the different species worth growing.
