How does your family .want to use your yard? In our backyard 1 started out with a formal garden and little paths. I soon tore that up for a more woodsy arrangement of trees and wildflowers. The formal garden took-too much care and the wild plants make subjects for paintings and etchings. “you'll want harmony of line, unity of composition, as well as color harmony. So you have to. watch your background. You can often add to your own planting by trimming your gshubbery and tréés to let in little interesting views outside your own garden.” }

Color Presents < Different Problem

But as to color, it's different. The human male-seems not to look kindly upon the annual prediction that this year he’s going to go to business in a neat suit of, say, cardinal red.
