August 
Melons, egg plant, lima beans, sweet 
potatoes and marrow squash require to be 
gathered this month. Lettuce, peas, beans, 
winter turnips are planted about the 12th 
or 15th of the month for fall use. 
The one hour a day gives time for 
gathering and planting of these vegetables 
and clearing away of vegetable remains 
and seeding with clover or rye any vacant 
spaces. 
September 
The only cultivation now necessary is 
about the vegetables for fall use. In addi¬ 
tion to this the work of removing vege¬ 
table debris continues, and the hour each 
morning gives ample time for this and re¬ 
planting with rye. 
Landscape Gardening on a 
Small Place 
(Continued from page 346) 
The west path is informal, passing through 
massings of shrubbery which stretch their 
branches over it. Interspersed with the 
shrubs, to brighten them with color spots 
and fill in bare spaces, are patches of low 
and creeping flowers which grow over the 
rough stone edging of the patch. Occa¬ 
sionally the shrub mass is broken, not 
enough to break its continuity but enough 
to give views of the lawn through the gaps. 
Such paths, full of interest in growing and 
blooming things, are ways of making the 
grounds seem larger. There is no attempt 
at deception or optical delusion. The re¬ 
sult is gained simply by engrossing one’s 
interest in every step of the patch, so that 
one lingers longer upon it. A curved path 
has a special interest of gradually unfold¬ 
ing its varied pictures to the beholder as 
he passes along. It is for this reason that 
a curved path can have bordering it a great 
diversity of plant material, since it is im¬ 
possible to take a sweeping glance along 
the whole path. In such a path border one 
plant in bloom counts for a great deal more 
than if it bloomed as an isolated specimen. 
It has the foliage of surrounding plants as 
a foil. 
In order to keep such a path continually 
interesting, the shrubs must be so distrib¬ 
uted that there is always something in 
bloom, not merely in one part of the path, 
but along its entire length. These bloom¬ 
ing effects are gained by planting in each 
group—for a border in plan is divided into 
arbitrary groups not visible in the plant¬ 
ing—two or three kinds of shrubs which 
bloom at different times. For instance, 
there are grouped together Berberis thun- 
bergii and Clethra almfolia with early 
spring and late summer bloom; Spiraea 
Anthony Waterer and Hypericum aureum 
with two different summer periods of 
bloom; Kerria and Symphoricarpus race- 
niosus, the snowberry, with two blooming 
periods and the effectiveness of the white 
snowberry in autumn and the brilliance of 
green Kerria stems in winter time. In the
