The Garden 



Garden Flrnitlre. 



A GARDEN should be made a place of rest and 

 quiet enjoyment where one may retire to read or 

 to hold conversation with our immediate friends 

 and visitors. Hammocks, seats and tables for light 

 refreshment are necessary, while the individual taste of 

 many people prefer tents or summer-houses for the 

 warm days. Readers can get these from Messrs, 

 Maguire & Gatchell, Dawson Street, Dublin.

sufficient cash to spend upon it. Any of the following 



firms can meet your requirements, from the small house
