Plant Combinations 
Most of the pleasing effects created in the garden are made by 
arranging complimentary things in such order as to supplement 
their individual beauty. It seems best to have one item dominant 
and plant with the whole picture in mind. For example, low spread¬ 
ing subjects should be planted in large numbers as ground cover, 
from which can spring up definite spikes or mounds of another 
color. Sometimes succession of flowers or berries or perhaps mingl. 
ing of colored bark will supply the missing interest in your gar¬ 
den, sure it is that careful thought with some fun-giving practice 
will produce many a thrill. Don’t stint with materials or try too 
many ideas in a small area. Here are a few suggestions.
