Other Gardens 
I have Planned 
there are grape hyacinths 
crowded together ; and not 
far from that the red “ Car- 
dinal ” tulips are parading on 
a broad strip of ground. 
A Symphony in White 
and Gold Beneath a 
Crab- Apple Tree. 
Beneath a crab-apple 
tree, on comparatively level 
ground, there is an almost dazzling stretch of thousands of i r n h fafe n slTmm e er J . apon ' ca 
tulips. Here the bulbs actually touch each other, and the 
effect is very fine. A broad band ot Couronne d or with 
double blossoms of deep gold are framing a bed of the tall, 
single, snow-white La Reine. Rose-mauve spots of La 
Precieuse liven up the white-and-goid symphony. 
In addition to those already named, there are flowers 
everywhere — amongst stones, as a carpet for the under- 
growth of the woodland, and on the grassy slopes of the 
hill ; groups of tulips, narcissus, daffodils, jonquils, blue 
chionodoxa, yellow and red primroses — yes, groups as a 
rule ; but where there are no groups the grass is studded 
with them. 
A Garden of 
Mixed Flowers. 
A garden of a different type was planned on ground 
where hot-houses and frames had had their place. Hence 
it had eminent advantages for successful gardening. The 
space was but small. We made a path down the middle, 
along the sides of which we arranged long beds of roses. 
These edge off the lawns, 
and they, in their turn, are 
edged off by long rows of 
pansies— spring pansies and 
autumn pansies in every 
imaginable colour. In the 
middle we widened the path 
into something approaching 
A Giant Balsam in 
bloom in September.
