One of the prettiest bits of gardening work seen th'~ summer was the petunia bed on the estate of Mrs. W. P. Snyder, on Sewickley Heights. v A. E. Bonsey, manager of the estate, estimated the number of plants at six thousand, in a bed 315 feet Jong by 18 feet wide, on the sloping bank of a terrace. The setting for the flower bed is perfect, the dark evergreens and the house form a good background while in front the green lawn slopes gently to the road. The lower border is of white hydrangeas, while a stone walk flanks the bed on the upper side. The clusters of white and yellow California poppies, portulaca, and blue star agératum are surrounded by floods of colorful pink, white and blue petunias, contrasting strongly with the restful green of the background. The whole makes a mass of color which has attracted great admiration by all who have seen it.
