Most of the pleasing effects created in the garden are made by arrang¬ 
ing 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 spreading subjects should be 
planted in large numbers as ground cover, from which can spring up de¬ 
finite spikes or mounds of another color. Sometimes succession of flowers 
or berries, or perhaps mingling of colored bark will supply the missing 
interest in your garden, 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:
