Miss Wilmot — and one at the further end flam- 
ing with Coquelicot, Etna, and G. A. Strohlein. 
Another bed was of tall mauve campanula 
( lactijiora ) with the smaller varieties as a fore- 
ground. A couple of beds were filled with 
hollyhocks, yellow, dark red, pink, white, semi- 
double, and with a frilly edge. Another was 
a mass of pampas grass, intermingled with spikes 
of scarlet gladiolus, and another of clematis 
Gipsy Queen, pegged down and restrained from 
wandering over the flagged paths, while Lilium 
speciosum was growing from among its purple- 
velvet flowers. Pentstemons of all shades were 
there, snapdragons, lupins, and many another 
flower to be used alone or to form beautiful 
combinations of colour. Much labour is saved 
by this plan ; not so much staking or tying is 
needed, and you can more easily get round your 
plants to see them. Should some tree cast its 
shade over any portion, arrange that your 
shade-loving plants benefit by it, and have your 
garden-seat there. The beautiful landscape- 
garden effect requires more room than can 
possibly be afforded in the gardens this book 
is chiefly written for. But whether large, or 
small, a garden that is “ out of drawing ” is an 
eyesore, and the fault, when once it has been 
noticed, will constantly annoy you.
