Bookof Garden Plans 



By STEPHEN F. HAMBLIN 



Associate of Warren H. Mannins. 

 Landscape Architect 



The purpose ot this book Is to aid 

 those who are planning gardens and 

 country places to visualize problems 

 similar to their own and to see how 

 a landscape architect would solve 

 them. 



There are twenty plans of model 

 gardens and places In the book with 

 directions and planting lists for each. 

 The plans are wide in their variety 

 ranging from boulder walls, arbors, 

 poppy beds, and special borders to 

 the different kinds of formal and 

 informal gardens, rock, water, wood- 

 laud, Japanese, annual, and wild 

 flower. Photographs illustrate the 

 basic idea ot each plan. 



The author says of the book in his 

 introduction ; 



"A rough plan, even if very In- 

 complete, will often be far more 

 helpful to explain arrangement and 

 grouping than will pages of printed 

 instructions. But s.i as to help make 

 these plans more delinlte, an actual 

 piece ot property was in mind In 

 each case. 



••Supposing, then, that the main 

 features on our imaginary piece ot 

 ground have been decided upon, he 

 can refer to the blue prints and see 

 how. by the arrangement ot our 

 garden material, we can best add to 

 the natural beauties of the ground 

 and give them the touch of human 

 hands." 



A final chapter gives Information 

 on the practical side ot gardcnlng- 

 the trees, plants, shrubs, vines, etc., 

 tor various conditions, cost estimat- 

 ing, time tor planting, and other 

 details. 20 blue print plans. 32 

 pages ot illustrations. Net $2.00.
