NO. 4. KOSE GARDEN. 



No flower better deserves a garden to itself than 

 the ever-beloved and glorious rose. It is a place 

 where the real lover of flowers can pay all his at- 

 tention to the cultivation of the "Queen of Flow- 

 ers." A very conveniently arranged rose garden 

 for a narrow lot is shown in this plan. The per- 

 gola in the far end of the garden completely cov- 

 ered with profusely blooming roses, forms the 

 central motive. In front of it is a U-shaped rose 

 bed, which together with the two angular ones, 

 encloses an open space of turf with a sun-dial in 

 the center. Opposite the pergola at the near end 

 of the garden is a beautiful rose arch. Grass 

 paths, flanked by rose borders, lead to the small 

 kitchen garden and the shed in the rear of the lot. 

 It is well screened from the rose garden and con- 

 tains a few beds for vegetables. An evergreen 

 hedge completely encircling the place, gives the 

 grounds a delightful feeling of seclusion. On the 

 lawn in front of the charming bungalow are two 

 beautiful shade-trees with groups of choice flow- 

 ering shrubs near the porch. Behind the bunga- 

 low there are beautiful shrubs, cleverly arranged 

 to hide the unsightly kitchen entrance. A garden 

 like this is inexpensive to plant and could be laid 

 out in any part of the country. The great num- 

 ber of the different varieties of roses permits the 

 selection of numerous species and garden forms 

 adapted to almost every requirement. For details 

 about the planting list, see pages 8 and 116.
