Leaf plants, or carpet bedding, as they are called, are quite familiar in the form of lettering, out in our park, or spelling the names of rural railway stations. Town Topics tells how, two years ago, the superintendent of the Allegheny Park at Pittsburg, Pa., planted on a sloping bank, in medallion form, likenesses of Washington and Lincoln, that were so true to life that they could be recognized three hundred feet distant. The design was so original and so cleverly brought out that thousands of persons repaired from all parts of the country to see how well the products of nature were made subservient to art.
