. Landscape gardening. Notes and suggestions on lawns and lawn planting--laying out and arrangement of country places, large and small parks, cemetery plots, and railway-station lawns--deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs--the hardy border-bedding plants--rockwork, etc. Landscape gardening. JUNE EFFECTS ON THE LAWN. 77 trellis of ^vood. The prevailing colors of tbe June-blooming types ai'e purple and white, and these colors are of the pui-est, richest tint. Open-petalled, large, sometimes ten inches in diameter, star-shaped, these flowers gather in close masses among small, inconspicuous leaves. The best per- haps is Jachmanii, for free blooming and general hardi- ness, but there are excellent varieties among the lighter- colored lanuginosa and patens type. All these June clematises should be pruned after they have finished flower- ing, so as to secure a vigorous gio\\'th and bloom for the following year. The curious and rare Japan climbing hydrangea also is a June-flowering vine. It has dark-green, long-stalked, cordate leaves, sharply toothed, and white hydrangea-like flowers in loose clusters. Like ivy, it throws out multi- tudes of rootlets, and clings well to stonework. During some seasons the Wis- taria is a June- flowering vine, but whether it blooms in May or June, its grape-like clusters of purple flowers, piled among picturesque and tossing masses of light-green leaves and tendrils, are always beautiful. There is a beautiful white variety that is particularly effective. The two colors may be finely contrasted by setting out the two kinds near each other and letting.
