Wiat should be aimieid at in any garden, is not one etret. however stasaug, but a succession of effects appropriate to. and expressive of tit passin.g months.

The landscape gardener hai never lost sight of those truths, but where ever given fill scope has avaied hiu self of the possibilities contained ii many hardy plants alost forgotteu, or indifferently regarded by the present generation.

Examine the sz'il and suiply what it lacks. If you do not trust your own judgnient in this, get some one who knows to advise you. Devote at least as much thonght to all these prepara ilons as you would to the lanning of a new gown or luncheon party, and to the selection of what shall be planted a thousand times more. (All beds and borders are the hetter for being raised somewhat in the muiddle-. Inform yougelf of the nature of the plants .. you 'desire to cultivate. H~ possible, visit all the line gardens and lawns within reach. No matter ho'w inferior your own resources, som:e valuable hints are sure to be obtained, aud uoro fessional gardeners and florists are generally willing to talk to people who appreciate their work. Study works on floisiculture. make diagrams of beds and. arrangements, plant imaginary, gardens and, finally, decide on what( seems most likely to succeed well un der the existing conditions. Allow'a margin for the evanescent summlfer flowers, annuals, etc., which help oit wondeyf~uly, especially in the first season or two,- and be sure to plan for succession of bloom. Such a garden, ce started is as satisfying as a good, *d bank accont.
