Perennials are regarded asthe backbone of the flower garden 'x cause they live from year to year and may be depended upon for plenty of bloom. It is important to have perennials and to supplement them by buying clumps of annuals, Mrs. Fryer gave a diagram of a Blue Garden wi demonstrates the possibilities that can be carried vat in colour arrangement, Since "Little Gardens" were her subject, illustrations of gardens that were grown on tree tranks on San Francisco roofs, in boxes and other restricted areas, were produced showing what has been aecomlished alony this Tine, Circular gardens are fashionable vow, and Mrs. Fryer has designed 11 type that is especially suited to a small place.
