 THE WILD GARDEN. Wild-flower gardens are

 selves, and only require to have the big weeds ])ulled 

 out and be thinned down Avhen they get too thick.

 hardy and handsome varieties, carefully selected for 

 this special purpose. They will produce an abundance 

 of beautiful flowers all through the summer and fall.
