Refinement and quiet revolution as flowers beds reflect the duality caused by the increasing gulf between town and country. Hollyhocks, honeysuckle and lilacs form a genteel backdrop to country life, with sweet smelling jasmines and mock orange or fruit trees echoing the simple delights. dahlias, cosmos and zinnias bring colour from South and Central America as the cosmos extends the season. Theatres of auricula and pansies throng the gardens of plant fanciers but the city garden relies on an increasing array of evergreen shrubs to ward off the smoke and smut.
