^ The whole idea was the conception of an amateur and I 

 wish you to know it has been copied again and again by 

 professionals of note. Indeed there is an exacft replica of it

^ Euonymus is delicate in appearance, but completely hardy. 

 The training necessary to form the quaint little hedges, 

 moundy borders and narrow edgings is done by pegging 

 with hairpins (nothing better) or wooden pegs. These may 

 be removed in a short time, as the little tendrils take root 

 and hold securely. I wish to say once more that wistaria 

 needs lime and extravagant feeding to secure a big return 

 in growth, foliage and flowers. But above all else I mo^ 

 emphasize that it mu^ be spur-pruned.
