LAWNS AND THEIR EMBELLISHMENT

A Beautiful Lawn Bed 
At our right we show a lawn bed made of red and yellow Coleus, 
bordered with yellow Alternanthera. The desired effect of rotundity is 
obtained by clipping the plants. The center plant is Acalypha mosaica ; 
Acalypha Sanderi would be appropriate in such a position. Crotons could 
be used here at intervals to appear above the surface of the foliage plants 
(Coleus). The background is a border of shrubs and Roses. 
A Butterfly Bed of Tulips 
At the right we illustrate a bed of 
Tulips planted to represent a butterfly. 
Nearly 5,000 bulbs were used in form- 
ing it ; they were of the yellow, crim- 
son and pink-colored sorts, and when 
in bloom the effect was extremely 
brilliant. 
A Well - Filled Rustic Vase 
There are no prettier adornments on 
a lawn than handsomely filled vases. The rustic vase 
illustrated on this page is filled with the following 
plants ; Petunias, Geraniums (both ivy-leaved and 
zonale) , Alyssum, trailing variegated Vinca, Begonia 
Vernon, variegated Thyme, Solanum Jasminoides, Cineraria maritima, trailing Nas- 
turtiums, etc.
