This design is also an excellent one to fill wholly with hardy plants for the winter ; and if we were called upon to thus are formed the six flat-iron-like points, and. also the sides of the six triangular beds. The outer sides of the triangles are formed by running the string round the central stake, and so is the broad line of the six pointed beds.

The marking out here is done by first getting the exact centre of the bed, into which a stout stake is put for the purpose of describing the outer circle by runn
