We've got a good start
at a pink bed already," beamed Ethel Brown.
"We can put golden glow or that tall yellow snapdragon at the back of
the yellow bed and tall larkspurs behind the blue flowers."
"The Miss Clarks have a pretty border of dwarf ageratum--that bunchy,
fuzzy blue flower. Let's have that for the border of our blue bed."
"I remember it; it's as pretty as pretty. They have a dwarf marigold
that we could use for the yellow border."
"Or dwarf yellow nasturtiums."
"Or yellow pansies."
"We had a yellow stock last summer that was pretty and blossomed
forever; nothing seemed to stop it but the 'chill blasts of winter.'"
"Even the short stocks are too tall for a really flat border that would
match the others. We must have some 'ten week stocks' in the yellow
border, though."
"Whatever we plant for the summer yellow border we must have the yellow
spring bulbs right behind it--jonquils and daffodils and yellow tulips
and crocuses."
"They're all together now. All we'll have to do will be to select the
spot for our yellow bed."
"That's settled then. Mark it on this plan."
Roger held it out to Ethel Brown, who found the right place and
indicated the probable length of the yellow bed upon it.
"We'll have the wild garden on one side of the yellow bed and the blue
on the other and the pink next the blue," decreed Ethel Blue.
