GARDEN GUIDE 



A Bird Bath 



in the garden in the form of 

 a basin set upon a stone 

 pedestal or column. Some 

 dwarf, neat growing water 

 plants may be kept in the 

 basin, such as Umbrella Plant 

 and Parrot's Feather. A 

 stone in the bowl affords a 

 place for the birds to stand. 



seems a universal enjoyment of water. 

 Here the birds come, here plants may be 

 grown, and here goldfish may be kept, 

 and being fed at a certain time each day 

 will become tame enough to take the food 

 from the hand. 



By one or all of these various ad- 

 juncts, appurtenances, garden ornaments, 

 garden furniture, the beauty and comfort 

 of the place can be considerably enhanced. 

 The making of many of these things will, 

 like the garden work itself, furnish agree- 

 able recreation for many a hoUday, Satur- 

 day afternoon or other period of one's 

 leisure.
