Victoria Square Plots
A Garden Corner,
JjWERY CREDIT must be given Mr Barnett and those responsible for the fine display in the plots on Victoria Square. The fountain with its coloured lights and changing cascades may be a feast for glad eyes after dark, but during the hours of daylight one is sensibly drawn to the flower beds on the other side of Victoria Street. These beds show what can be done when all the necessary aids are forthcoming, allied to skill and attention. Very pretty effects are got trjf the free use of fuchsia, ivy-leaVed geraniums, bedding geraniums and various edging plants. Particularly fine are the beds in which standard fuchsias and pink ivy leaves are employed over massed dwarf bedding plants I These displays are part of the yearly. pn> gramme, and were thought out months ago, the plants being grown on in the nursery in readiness to take their place when the spring display had finished; just as in due course the present- occupants will make way for the win-' ter set. T. D. LENNIE.
