AFTER THE FALL FROSTS. 
A garden of tender plants is a sorrowful mass of wreckage after the first fall frost. Far from 
so with the garden where permanent hardy plants predominate. If judiciously arranged, the frosts 
only add a seasonable splendor by accentuating the glory of autumn coloring. 
WHEN REAL WINTER COMES. 
The garden arranged for winter effects now shows out with agreeable conspicuousness. Broad¬ 
leaved evergreens, shrubs with bright red, brilliant green and rich twigs and berries stand out now in 
rich relief against the more sombre surroundings, an oasis of rich, warm color. The city gardens 
should be so arranged as to make the winter effects attractive.
