6 LANDSCAPE GARDEN SERIES 



There is no excuse for decrepit gates nor an array of old tin cans 

 and scattered rubbish. Beauty costs but little and is too easy 

 of attainment to be forgotten or neglected. Most of us can 

 remember old-time vegetable gardens or have read of those of 

 England, where vegetables were edged with flowers and where 

 bright colors and enchanting fragrance wove romance into the 

 commonplace. Perhaps there was an old stone wall over which 

 vines and roses clambered or against which were green shrubs, 

 fair, indeed, to see. 



Such gardens have left fragrant memories. Yet they need 

 not remain memories. A little thought and a little work and a 

 little waiting and lo, we too will have woven like magic. 

 Remembered joy will have become reality.
