PICTURESQUE GARDENS 
Leaf and Branch 
Bedding Design 
Scroll bedding is often 
rendered more effective 
by being placed on a ter- 
race slope. In the panel 
at top of page the leaves 
are planted with red 
Alternanthera, and the 
veins with the yellow 
variety. The branch or 
scroll is planted with the 
white-leaved Centaurea 
candidissima. The oval 
bed in the foreground is 
planted with the red- 
leaved Begonia Vernon. 
Large Agaves are shown 
on the top of the terrace 
and are flanked by beds 
of dwarf Cannas. Design 
beds, of course, enable 
one to utilize different 
combinations of plants. 
A Beautiful Lawn 
The lawn is the most beautiful feature of 
home surroundings. The rich velvety green- 
sward in broad open sweeps forms the foun- 
dation of garden and landscape pictures, 
The large view gives a good idea of the 
artistic value of a perfect lawn.
