HENDERSON’S PICTURESQUE GARDENS 
Magnolias 
To the right we 
illustrate a fine speci- 
men of a Magnolia 
in bloom. This mag- 
nificent family of 
Magnolias contains 
many varieties of 
both shrub- and tree- 
like habit that form 
highly ornamental 
specimens for lawn 
decoration. Sheltered 
situations and deep, 
moist soils prove 
congenial. 
Gay With Color 
On the left is shown an example of 
elaborate lawn bedding. The long beds 
parallel with the walk are planted with 
Geraniums, bordered with red Alternan- 
theras ; the quarter - circle bed in the 
foreground is planted with Ageratum, 
blue in the center, white in the outer 
sections, all being bordered and divided 
with red Alternantheras. The large cir- 
cular bed in the center is planted with 
Cannas, surrounded by pink and white 
Geraniums, edged with red Alternan- 
theras. The crescent bed is filled with 
Cannas, bordered with red Coleus. 
A Combination Vase and Urn 
We picture below a very artis- 
tic garden vase, which, when cov- 
ered with the lid for the winter, 
forms a very attractive urn ; in 
fact, it is seldom that the lid is 
removed for summer plants, the 
figures on the lid being of such 
handsome design.
