The Garden

beds with the espalier background after the manner of the 
broad middle path ; and this scheme continues along the 
arm of the “cross-road” which leads up to a typical cosy 
little Swedish cottage with thatched roof. Here the 
gardener lives.

The cottage, though recently erected, looks as old as 
the well does, and it gives a charming finish to the long, 
gay, multi-coloured Walk. The entire length of the Walk 
from the well to the cottage is edged with roses. Roses, 
roses all the way — roses of every kind, every size, and 
every colour. Each variety has its own square ; but on a 
narrow strip along the edges of the path there is, first, 
Gruss au Teplitz, then — supposing one has had enough of 
their red colour — one can refresh the eye with the snowy 
splendour of Frau Karl Uruschki, until one can again 
rejoice in the salmon-pink Johanna Sebus and the rich 
foliage that particular kind of rose can boast of. Our 
favourite roses are : Prince 
de Bulgarie, with their pink 
and yellow blooms : Rayon 
d’Or — a charming pure 
golden rose ; the luxuriant 
Laurette Messini ; the 
simple and graceful Kil- 
larney ; and Souvenir du 
President Carnot, an almost 
white rose. Another very 
generous rose is Conrad 
Ferdinand Meyer, with de- 
lightful flowers and of sturdy 
growth. But here one is

the saying that there is no 
rose without thorns — it has 
such a number of them.
