THE SHADY WALK THAT SKIRTS THE GARDEN BORDER 
I'he two trees form the framework of the garden picture and here 
emphasize the vista down the path. (Point D on the general plan.) 
Sion, Emperor, Empress, Leedsii, 
rugulosus odorus, White Lady, Sir 
Watkin. 
Early Tulips: Murillo Tulip 
(ioo) down the path from the House 
on both sides with ioo Narcissus 
poeticus. 
200 Crocus scattered on the grass 
panel near the pool. 
Where “Lily” is used Lilium can- 
didum is indicated. 
2: Annuals: Plant annuals at in- 
tervals where possible down the 
house path for mid-summer bloom 
especially. Use: White Cosmos 
(near Larkspur); pale yellow Cal- 
endula; Crego Aster, flesh and lav- 
ender; Stock, light pink; Annual 
Larkspur Blue Butterfly. 
3 : Varieties of Phlox used: Miss 
Lingard, Eugene Danzenvilliers, 
Mme. Paul Dutrie, Elizabeth Camp- 
bell, Evenement, Beacon, Jeanne 
d’Arc, Czarina, Independence, Gen. 
van Heutz, divaricata (among the 
wild plants), Arendsi Helene. 
4 : Varieties of Perennial Asters 
used: Climax, novae-angliae, novae- 
belgii. 
and Hollyhock and Buddleia — with here and 
there a few sun spots between — for Apple tree 
shade is not dense. 
To these flower effects the Apple trees add 
their full share in that supreme week of apple 
blossoms when all the world looks rosy; and 
then again in the fall, red apples, to compen- 
sate for the passing flowers. There are also 
Lilac trees and old-fashioned shrubs like Mock- 
orange, Weigela, Snowball, Deutzia and bush 
Roses. The chief masses are Lilacs, early and 
late blooming, to further emphasize the old- 
time note and lilac-time is a definite event in 
the garden. 
And so the garden stands, with all its promise 
— in the plan — and part of its fulfilment already 
realized as the accompanying photographs show; 
but whenever was a garden really finished?

IN ONE CORNER OF THE SHADE BORDER 
A patch of sunlight at either end of the shade border allows these standbys to help 
keep the balance of bloom through the seasons. (See rear part of view on page 17.)
