26 MASSACHUSETTS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



One is a l)ack yard on Beacon Street, the accessory features of 

 which are almost complete, the other is The Garden Studio that 

 1 had the interesting experience of installing last summer. This 

 yard is dependent upon its accessories for its attractiveness. For 

 there is but little sunlight to support vines and other plants except 

 the shade-enduring varieties. Because these city yard-gardens 

 must be made attractive during fall, winter, and spring, when 

 there is little vegetation, it is necessary to treat them in this semi- 

 architectural fashion by the introduction of such garden accessories 

 as I have mentioned. 



Let us hope that the ever increasing regard for our gardens as 

 places that should give comfort and beauty combined will lead 

 to a fuller appreciation of the proper use of garden accessories.
