der, of mauve and ivory, cream and rose. All the 

 tallest, waviest and most graceful late blooming 

 flowers were there. They were Physostegia, 

 Cimicifuga Simplex and Michaelmas Daisies of 

 various heights, the Michaelmas Daisies, Climax, 

 Peggy Ballard, Lil Fardell, Novae Roseus, Saphir, 

 Top Sawyer, Snowflakes and Feltham Blue. In 

 the background many plants of each were irreg- 

 ularly spaced to admit strong plants of the palest 

 lavender pink, pale pink and white Physostegia. 

 The Asters and Cimicifuga came to the edge in 

 irregular lines and groups, forming a wonderful 

 flower vista. This flower cloud, aside from its 

 beauty, furnished a most practical and permanent 

 planting and will live on and on indefinitely with 

 very little care. 



I saw a fifty-foot bed of Snapdragons — tall, 

 half-dwarf and dwarf. They were edged with 

 trailing blue Lobelia. A stonewall was almost 

 completely covered with Trier Climbing Roses
