The picture of the large garden is very sug- 
gestive. It is a garden which carries on with a 
succession of bloom throughout the year. Note 
how important Iris are during the month of 
May. If you look closely you will notice Peo- 
nies are in bud, while the Phlox and Larkspur, 
Lilies and Hemerocallis are only neat clumps 
of green which are to bloom in June, July and 
August. Pay attention to the location of the 
Iris plants. They are planted near the edges 
of the flower beds so that they might receive a 
good share of sunshine, since Iris do not like 
to be smothered with taller growth, even later 
in the season. You will see, too, that there are 
other flowers in bloom along with the Iris— 
pink and salmon Columbine combined with 
the salmony Iris. Such Iris varieties as Pink 
Reflection, Peachblow or Wakarusa would look 
well in such a combination. In this particular 
photograph the color combinations are re- 
stricted more or less to salmony pinks, whites, 
yellows and a few purples. Other pictures 
could be created using blue, violet, cameo-pinks 
with creamy yellows and whites, many other per-
