Chatterer the Red Squirrel was dis

anything cheerful in the sunshine nor

should see that dirt heap now. We de-
cided that it would be both instructive
and picturesque to make an old-fashioned
garden. We planted it so that flowers
would be blooming there throughout as
much of the year as the climate would
permit, only the fragrant. half-forgotten
blossoms that our grandmothers loved.
There are about seventy varieties of these
old-fashioned flowers in the garden now.
Larkspur, phlox and hollyhocks bloom
there with spice-pinks. four o'clocks and
marigolds for neighbors. There is the
rosemary that is for remembrance and
the pansies that are for rue. Love-in-the-
columbine, the iris and other flowers
make carnival for US nearly the whole
year around.
1T may prove suggestive to other
woman gardeners to know what pictur-
esque effect we obtained by dividing the
stairways. On the lower terraces two
spruce trees stand sentinel near a pool
filed with goldfish and water lilies. On
the northern side of the garden is a
hedge of 137 native cedars.'
