gl^^HEN planning early Spring garden work we should not over- 

 i\/y I look the value of vistas. It is well in considering vista val- 

 ues to plan for a double vista. There are various ways of 

 accomplishing this. A vine-covered arch, separating a central walk 

 from walks going to the right and to the left from the arch, and 

 beyond a central flower bed, with a mass planting of hardy golden- 

 salmon hybrid-tea roses, centered on the archway, will produce a 

 colorful vista. From the other side of the bed containing the roses 

 looking through the arch, we see beyond it the stone or brick-paved 

 walk leading to the shrubbery, each side of the walk planted with 

 tree (standard) and bush roses of Frau Karl Druschki, then the 

 exquisite edging rose Marie Pavie, and Dwarf Golden Daisies, 

 this terminating in an arched entrance gateway to the herbaceous 

 garden, the lily garden, a semi-circular recess, a garden seat, rest 

 house or a simple weathered piece of garden statuary, a bird bath 

 or a sun-dial, all are useful in forming vistas. 



The arched gateway could be wreathed with roses, using the 

 ever-blooming cream white Trier and massing at the base of each 

 plant, at each side and in front the dwarf Delphinium Chinensis 

 (blue) and Golden Daisies. Here we will have blooms until 

 Autumn.
