This list is incomplete, but may be an encouragement to those } whose interest is this year centered on ia Garden of Color. White: Snowdrop, Hyacinth, Ane- 'mone, Astilbe and Campanula, Phlox, I Boltonia, Monks-hood. Yellow: Crocus, Golden tuft and | Narcissus, Gold Columbine, Coreopsis, COLOR IN THE GARDEN No true garden exists for aught save the pleasure which we derive from the vari-colored flowers within its borders, for they are to the garden what the furnishings, the hangings, tapestries, and bits of color are to the well-appoint- ed interior. For this reason the plants to be' grown should receive the 'same care in their selection that is accorded to even the simplest home furnishing. Brilliant colors in Gardens as in gowns are dangereus playthings. We think of red for warmth, and yet sel- dom do we find in a quiet home red spotty and distresses all who may visit Centaurea, Columbine, Sunflower. Orange: Poppy, Spotted Lily, Blaz- ing Star, Turks Cap Lily, Helenium. Red: Tulip, Peony, Lychnis, Gla- diola, Lobelia, Phlox. Pink: English Daisy, Armeria, Pinks, Sedum, Dahlia, Phlox. Lilac, Purple: Rock Cress, Iris, Pen- a costly one. Long lists of plants must be studied to select varieties for the' chosen color scheme, only to find that h semon, Boltonia, N. E.

Blue: Glory of Snow, 'Muscari are thus in a degree neutralized by the the green foliage and by the turf of the garden panel. Masses of colors are to be sought for in the border, and if these prove to be too small in size the garden becomes Hyacinth, Bugle, Delphinium, Iris Sibir. Hollister Memorandum Is Mixed Up with a Dollar Not long ago someone sent a re- mittance of one dollar to the Christian Science Publishing company, Bay station, Boston, Mass., for some- thing or other. No name was men- tioned and no indication given regard- ing the purpose of the remittance. © > PO b { West Kenilworth Nursery Shrubs, Trees, Evergreens, and 3 Hardy Perennials Get our Estimate Nursery on Railroad Avenue, . 2 blocks north of Kenilworth wall-paper on the walls of a north room. Yellow suggests cheer, and yet we need to use it cautiously on the walls or in the hangings in our east dining- rooms. Among my readers are many who have long known that gowns of certain colors are more becoming to some women than to others. Orchid shades or yellow and cloth of gold are neither adapted to all occasions nor to all women. Your eye unconsciously goes to the accent of color which may be placed upon a gown or which may be secured by a corsage bouquet or by a fan © of brilliant hue. So in planning for our garden color effect, remember that the brighter reds aid yellows are the spots to which the eye is first attracted. Let these points be in the vicinity of an architectural feature,--a summer-house, a seat, a gateway with red ramblers, or perhaps near a quiet pool where their glory is enhanced by the reflected colors. Would you have greater depth to your property? Plant the blue-green foliage shrubs or evergreens and the blue-flow- ered and lavender-flowered plants in the distance. If you have a long straight, flower-bordered turf panel or walk you can also increase the apparent depth of the property by slightly narrowing the width of the walk at the far end, in addition to the display of the blue tones in the flowers. Use with caution such colors as mauve and some of the magenta and lavender shades, for there are few other colors which will blend with them, unless it be the orange tones. Red is also a diffi- cult color to handle, as evidenced by the restless and fatal effect secured in plant- ing red salvia or cannas against a red brick house. It is a' question to the writer whether the so-called 'blue-gardens," "red-gar- dens," or "yellow-gardens," can be much more than an experiment, and at times : 2e Station it. Without masses you tend more and more to the arboretum, or herbarium type of garden with one or two plants of the same variety, the aim being to grow as many different kinds of plants as possible in a given space, with no|& " Phone Kenilworth 1089 All Shrubs and trees guaranteed § POV Back or SHRUBS PERENNIALS For those who may wish to experi- ment, the winter is listing seven peren- All Varieties of Annual nial plants each of a few colors, which will give continuous bloom in our bor- der from Spring until Fall.
