ONE-COLOUR GARDENS 
137 
of hundreds of tiny little flowers smelling 
most delightfully of honey. 
Four oblong beds each side of the centre 
grass walk are planted with clematis in varying 
shades, from the mauve pink of Fairy Queen, 
so hardy and free blooming, to the purples of 
Gipsy Queen and Jackmanii. These are kept 
to one or two stems, and trained up a rod 5 
feet high with a ring at the top (only put 
in in summer and taken away in autumn) 
whence they hang down, in trails of flowers, 
on all sides. These beds are filled with 
Muscari, Hyacinthus plumosus, the lovely mauve 
feather hyacinth, a close relation to the well- 
known Muscari, “ Heavenly Blue ” ; and their 
spring covering is of single mauve primroses, 
and aubrietia. 
These are removed later to make room for 
heliotrope, mauve candytuft, Viscaria ccerulea , 
and Br achy come celeste (the Swan River daisy), 
annuals of varying shades in the same colour. 
Two or three big bushes of Veronica 
Andersonii , with spiky brushes of purple and 
mauve, are in a corner with a carpet of violets, 
and a wild vetch of the right shade of colour 
has obligingly established itself in a yew hedge 
where it twines and climbs at will. Behind 
the veronica, a Solanum crispum will flower
