LAWNS AND THEIR EMBELLISHMENT 
2 ^ 
A Pleasing Bedding Effect 
The ornamental bed pictured above, 
while comparatively simple, is exceed- 
ingly effective and in pleasing har- 
mony with the surroundings. Though 
not quite as elaborate and flat as car- 
pet-bedding, it is still graceful in 
design and full of brilliant color and 
contrast. The center is fllled with 
bronze - leaved French Cannas, the sur- 
rounding lobes being filled alternately 
with scarlet and pink- flowering Gera- 
niums, the outer defining edge being of 
the white -leaved Centaurea gymnocarpa. 
Many other combinations may be made 
with different plants. A well -shaped 
specimen of Austrian Pine, a favorite 
conifer, is seen in the background. The 
spreading deciduous tree in the middle- 
ground is an American Elm. 
An Artistically Bridged Lakelet 
We illustrate below a handsomely treated 
park lakelet. The substantial cut -stone bridge 
with its ornate approaches; the walled lake mar- 
gin, adorned with iron vases; the placid water, 
decked with groups of aquatic plants and vari- 
ous colored Water Lilies, all compose into an 
artistic picture against the greenery of the 
surrounding grass and trees. In the fore- 
ground appears a row of young French Canna 
plants.
