REPRODUCING THE GARDEN 243 



SPANISH GARDEN 



Characterized in design by a general conformity to 

 outer boundaries; by a lack of careful balance although 

 generally symmetrical; by a lack of exactness in di- 

 visions intended to be identical, etc. Its dividing lines 



are \\kjly to cut all the way across it, without reason; 

 see, for? example, the line which separates the house 

 from the garden in the Governor's place at St. Augus- 

 tine a line doubtless which marks a demarcation be- 

 tween pavement and grass. "Courts" before door- 

 ways, and all walks are paved with round, even, care- 

 fully selected stones or with stones and shells, and 

 fancy forms are frequently introduced in these pave- 

 ments, one color stone being inlaid within another to 

 form them. A high wall incloses the entire garden 

 area and attaches it to the house. This type of garden 

 is especially suited to town or small suburban places, 

 although it may be developed on large grounds as 

 well.
