garden with a circuit path so beloved by 

 suburban dwellers. Let one or more of the 

 sides join a border, where grass and flowers 

 would come into juxtaposition. Even let 

 the border thrust out an extension into the 

 grass in the manner suggested in the early

 your principal grass plot into a thing of ragged 

 outline by overdoing this procedure, and do 

 not pierce it with a multitude of little beds. 

 Remember also that the simpler in shape your 

 grass plot, the less difliculty you will experience 

 in mowing it and keeping it trim and neat.
