DESIGNS FOR ORNAMENTAL FLOWER BEDS. 



Many would often have a few well-kept beds in front of their dwellings if they could decide 

 ■on some suitable shape. 



We have the pleasure of illustrating here with a number of the most popular designs, hoping 

 they may prove a service to our customers. 



The plants that can be used in solid effect in the different numbers are noted below, and in 

 arranging these, attention should be given to the contrasting colors.
