Outline and form, singly and in mass, have a fair degi'ee of attention paid them during these seasons, but combinations of color attract less attention during even the " perfect days of ; Later on, as summer hues fade, still less thought is given to securing renewed beauty of foliage and flower by employing such plants as are specially fine in August and September. Such plants may indeed be set out, but this is seldom done with a conscious intention of prolonging the season of beautiful foliage, or of producing distinct compositions. In autumn, finally, two specially charming objects may be and sometimes are sought in the use of plants. One looks to the retention of a rich, healthy, green foliage as late as possible by means of cer- tain oaks, beeches, elms, and golden and green conifel-s, while another employs the wonderful crimson and gold J:35.
