ARRANGING THE GARDEN. In Prof. Waugh's book on landscape gardening are suggested many plans for garden making, and the style of group- ing garden plants recommended therein seemed particularly applicable in this instance. It will be seen that each variety is grouped with the taller vari- eties forming the background.

The pergola afforded a good opportu- nity for training Japanese morning glory, cobseas, dolichos, nasturtiums, etc., as did the play house in the hedge row. A necessary precaution is plant- ing the individual plants a sufficient distance apart. The gardener and flo- rist must depend in this respect on his acquaintance with the habit and growth of the varieties he uses. It can be imagined what a good show- ing this garden would make when in full bloom; the plan is simple and the outline and material used could be varied to one's taste. The accompany- ing illustrations showing a few groups from this garden will prove interesting. SOWING A
