This tramped out a path just wide enough for a person to walk. The wider path was marked with lines and raked. Margery and her mother had taken so much pains in thinking out how the flowers would look prettiest, that maybe you will like to hear just how they designed that garden. Margery planned that, so that she could look into the garden from the front, but have it shut away from the vegetable patch by the tall flowers on the sides. The two front corners had coreopsis in them.
Coreopsis is a tall, pretty, daisy-like flower, very dainty and bright.
And then, in little square patches all round the garden, were planted white sweet alyssum, blue bachelor's buttons, yellow marigolds, tall larkspur, many- colored asters and zinnias. All these lovely flowers used to grow in our grandmothers' gardens, and if you don't know what they look like, I hope you can find out next summer. Margery had never seen anything so cunning as the little round lettuce-seeds. But they surely would. Mother and father and Margery were all late to supper that evening.
