Christmas Rose 
Begin with the favorite flower: In

ium: Tall, late; space 12 inches. On 
paper marked in foot squares draw 
three square feet (any shape) and 
write 3 Delphinium. (This is mini- 
mum, fewer make no show.) Now 
the late garden is established as blue. 
A companion plant is all-season 
Aster Frikarti. Heighten the early 
blue with Anchusa. Yellow is a fine 
complementary. Put Chrysanthemums 
and other yellow plants in front. For 
each, the planting distance is care- 
Fully drawn. Change with the eraser 
until you get it to suit available 
space. The shade border: Here the 
favorite plant is Aquilegia (Colum- 
bine) and the whole garden matches 
them, with the blazing Astilbe for 
early flash. Later, on the left is a 
white, with a rose behind it and 
orange beyond.
