'* / If thought and care are given to it a small garden may be made as lovely in its way as a large one. To get the most enjoyment out of a small plot of ground try planting your garden to match your house. Make a careful survey of each room and another of your vaseff. flower bowls, etc.; then with these in your mind sit down and go through the catalogue. If your guest room is pink and white any guest would feel herself welcome if she were greeted by that lovely pink bowl you got last Christmas set on the bureau and filled with long sprays of pink snapdragons. Your-own bedroom may be yellow, the living room may he old gold with touches of old blue and yellow and the dining room may be old.blue and just need a touch of yellow to make it perfect. If so be sure and have a bed of-corntiowers and cal I Innsis • the Him-, bination is wonderful. The squatty brown jug full of stiff, tawny marigolds will look well In the easement window sill and the same flowers in the low black bowl on the dining room table will fie beautiful. And you must surely have a patch of nasturtiums. They look so cool and crisp in a glass bowl on a hot day. especially if the bowl is filled with a carbonated w’ater.
