GARDEN PLAN WELL LIKED
Laid Out Along Lines OF the Iilustra-
ton IL VIII Be Of Perma-
nent Beauty.

A very helpful plan for identifying
the garden is shown In the accom-
panying illustration, which, II t
fully followed, will give results that
are successful and of permanent
beauty.
In the plan well-designed borders
are filled with shrubbery in the cor
ners, or the rear, and hardy peren-
malls in the foreground. These should
be planted according to their height
and color. Foxgloves, peonies and
Oriental peoples are excellent for
grouping. Both German and Japan
csc irises and brilliant Sweet Williams
must find a place here also. Narcis-
sus and daffodils give a perfect effect
If planted as a border about the entire
sweep of beds. These, together with
