Color schemes for Gardens.

From current articles one might sup
pose the art of making gardens gay
with color in the fall to be something
new. Quite otherwise is the fact, as
one may learn by reading Bacon, par
ticuiarly the passage: Il do hold it
in the Royal Ordering of Gardens that
there ought to be gardens for all the
months of the year, in which severally
things of beauty may be there in sea-
son." 1t is quantity put, of course, but
with meaning that is plain. Perhaps
It is true, however, that too little at
teDtiOn has been given fall gardens in
America, although the excuse may be
made that, as here the autumn leaves
and the woodland berries take on so
fine color, artificiality becomes vain.
