HENDERSON’S 
PICTURESQUE GARDENS 
An Anemone Walk 
The "Anemone Walk” here illustrated is an 
object lesson in planting hardy perennials in 
masses, where their effectiveness is far more 
pronounced than when plants are dotted here 
and there about the place. The Anemones 
here shown are A. Japonica, a hardy herba- 
ceous plant of great merit, flowering pro- 
fusely from August until frost. There are 
now several beautiful new hybrids of this 
Anemone worthy of extensive distribution. 
An Artistic Mixed Border 
To the right is shown a mixed border 
composed partially of hardy herbaceous plants, 
with a mingling of annuals. Note the ar- 
tistic manner in which the border is laid 
out and planted. No straight lines; the 
irregular curves and the arrangement of the 
plants simulate nature’s planting. The large 
foliage plants, Ricinus, Arundo, Ornamental 
Grasses, etc., are placed not only for effec- 
tive variety, but to partially isolate the family 
groups of flowering plants, rendering them 
more effective than if their contrasting colors 
and forms were allowed to "kill” one an- 
other.
