FRAGRANCE 



73 



Still the breeze comes to us laden with the breath of 

 other beautiful things — Musk, Polyanthus, and Auricula ; 

 Sweet Peas and Scabious ; Meadow Sweet, and the per- 

 fumed richness of the Pinks. Almonds, glorious vision 

 of pink-wreathed shoots, Allspice, and Sweet Bay ; 

 Virgin's Bower (Clematis flamula), Traveller's Joy (C. 

 Vitalba), Wistaria, Paeonies, and the climbing Tea Roses ; 

 Pansies, Violets, the Tree Lupine, fragrant as a field of 

 beans. Plantain Lilies, and the Sweet Flag (Acorus). I 

 make no attempt to give them in order, or group them 

 according to their flowering seasons ; the memory of 

 their sweetness crowds the mind with visions of many 

 beautiful gardens where the charm of fragrance is fully 

 appreciated. The small garden should be the home 

 of scented flowers, its borders should overflow with 

 them, until the very air becomes a constant sweet re- 

 minder of their presence.
