ATTRACTIVE GARDEN STAIRWAYS 



built at the top of the circular stairs, where it gives 

 access to the broad walk of the upper level. 



Where stone or brick-walled terraces are used 

 instead of grassy banks, a stairway may wind around 

 the curve of the wall, with an outer wall to form the 

 protective balustrade. The stairs in this instance 

 should be built of the same material that is used in 

 the wall building. Vine draperies are not required 

 for such walls and stairs, built on an elaborate scale 

 for formal gardens ; but they will have a softening 

 and decorative effect that is pleasing. For informal 

 and unpretentious devices in stair building, vines 

 and trailers are always useful. Mere cost is not 

 essential in achieving stairway dignity and beauty.
