A very good arrangement is to put a
large bed of ricinus on the most remote
space Of the lawn--four plants In the
centre Of a twelve foot bed-surround-
ed with row Of SALIVA sp!endens edged
with Little Gem sweet alyssum. Nearer,
an eight-foot bed Of the largc-aowered
cannas may be introduced and edged
with coleus or the second size Of cal
albums, while a six-foot bed Of orna-
mental grasses--Arundo Donax, Eriar-
thus Ravenna, Eulalia gracillima uni
vittata-will make satisfactory third.
Such beds are rich in tropical effects
and give more distinction to lawn than
any other class of plants.
