D ON’T forget the value 
of a background for 
your flowers. How lovely is 
a grass bowling green, with 
a little brick wall surrounding 
it on three sides, at the foot 
of which are daffodils and 
scillas and their successors ; 
while from the top of the wall 
rock plants tumble : arabis 
and aubretias, and, later, rock 
roses, lythospermums, ver- 
onica, and endless others.
