NATURAL CONTRAST IN PLANTING.
The charming grouping of our wayside plants oflerß a lesson to any gardener. In Nature's garden a pleasing irregularity is the rule, for the planting is done by the wind and birds, and their irresponsible scattering of seeds results again and again in groups of such great beauty that the object lesson thus given is not one to be ignored. Besides this informality, the beautiful contrast of form must be noted, for Nature almost invariably seems to associate, those plants which, from difference in habit of growth, form of leaf or flower, help to show up characteristics in each which, were they growing alone, might easily pass unnoticed. This lesson of Nature's ought to be applied in every garden, for the contrast of form is quite as important as th« happy blending of colours.
