Old Fashioned Gardens 
'pHE Old Fashioned garden 
comes very near to what 
is propably the ideal American 
garden — the term suggests the 
garden beauties that our grand- 
mothers loved — p rime walks 
tiled or cobbled and grass 
trimmed lead into rose covered 
summer houses or to quaint 
sundials. Hardy perennial 
plants are very practical for this 
use but the annuals are not to 
be forgotten. Bachelor Buttons, 
Sweet William, Larkspur and 
Daisies, Phlox and Hollyhocks, 
Paeonies Roses and Asters, 
Dahlias and Scarlet Salvia to 
make the autumn bright, en- 
deavor to secure a succession of bloom throughout the season and that your garden may be gay the year 
round. Evergreens will shelter from the blasts of the north wind and be green against the winter snows. 
Informal Gardens 
The informal garden a sort of precessor of the old fashioned is much easier of achievement and 
great latitude in treatment — one delightful arrangement is to mass the flowers around the sides of the lawn 
a smooth, green sward as a 
center. Make a background 
of shrubs and trees or hedge 
and against this p a y in your 
colors, tall Hollyhocks and 
Larkspur, masses of rosy Phlox 
and Paeonies, Lilies, Roses 
\ shed and trellised over a rus- 
tic tea house. Crimson Ram- 
bler that is hardy and quick 
growing is good. Select your 
flowers with an eye to obtain- 
ing a succession of blossom 
during the entire season from 
* .ilac • nd Snowball time to 
Asters and heavy headed 
i^'hlias the fall.
