Of Summer Flowers

Although some OF oar readers will have
planted out their summer bedding plants
ere this number reaches them, yet many will
not have done SO, and even to those VINO have,
we wish to suggest word by which perhaps
they may improve. 1t has been and yet is
with most who group, TO think Of colors; but
they should 60 one step farther, and adopt in
q measure the system by which practical bo-
quet makers give such effect to the ARA nge-
ment OF a few flowers, and that is, ssuse filing
in" To this end, as we now have q large
number OF variegated and colored foliaged
plants, we suggest their use as filling in
among the plants whose great beauty is their
blooms; by this means a more satisfactory and
less mano,onous tone is given t, the group
and il then we add few more whose beauty
is in their form and grace as well as color OF
foliage, we shall have created mass closely
resembling. but more artistic and scarcely less
graceful than nature in her widest and most
harmonious moods.--Hortic uEtnrist, for June
