Bedding in the Sunken Garden 
The very handsome bedding illustrated on the 
right is rendered especially effective on account of 
being sunken, which enables the full detail of the 
designs to be seen from above. The festoons on 
the terraces are composed of Golden Feather and 
red-leaved Alternanthera. The individual plants at 
the tops of the festoons are Agave americana. The 
oval bed in the foreground is composed of the fol- 
lowing plants ; outside row, Coleus, Golden Bedder ; 
next row, red Coleus ; next row, Stevia serrata 
variegata, the center being red Achyranthes. The 
second bed is composed of a mass of red -flowering 
Geraniums, surrounded by a border of the silver- 
leaved Geraniums. The third bed is centered with 
the variegated - leaved Abutilon, Souvenir de Bonn, 
bordered on the outside with Acalypha Mosaica. 
The fourth bed is composed of pink - flowering 
Geraniums, bordered with silver-leaved Geraniums. 
The fifth bed is a duplicate of the first bed in the 
foreground. The outside bordering enclosing the 
above five beds is composed of Alternantheras, a 
row of the yellow variety between two rows of the 
red. The triangular-like beds immediately inside the 
border are filled alternately with yellow Coleus, red 
Coleus, Stevia variegata, all of which are bordered 
with red Alternanthera ; opposite triangles are alike. 
A Glorious Mass of Color 
The large bed of Geraniums pictured at the left illustrates what gorgeous color 
effects can be produced by bedding out this favorite class m quantity. The bed 
here shown is composed of two colors, the center being of pink, the outer sections 
of white -flowering Geraniums. The scarlet -flowering varieties massed alone, against a 
green background, produce a strikingly brilliant effect.
