NO. 5 SEMI-FORMAL GARDEN 



An exceptionally clever design for a small garden 

 on a narrow lot is shown in this plan. It is com- 

 posed of two parts, separated from each other by 

 an octagonal rose arbor, which forms the central 

 motive in the garden. Overgrown by profusely 

 blooming roses and flanked on the sides by beautiful 

 shrubs this arbor offers a pleasant retreat in quiet 

 surroundings with charming vistas in every direc- 

 tion. The lawn in the front section has a row of 

 standard roses planted along the edge and a couple 

 of choice shrubs placed in the two corners. Masses 

 of shrubbery back of the bungalow hide the kitchen 

 entrance entirely, and beautiful herbaceous borders 

 run along the fence on either side of the garden. 

 All the plants are so selected that they give a 

 continuous bloom throughout the season. The 

 crescent-shaped lawn in the rear section of the 

 garden has four dwarf evergreens. A group of 

 shrubbery planted in front of the entrance to the 

 back yard screens it from the garden side. A hedge 

 of various shrubs encloses this part of the garden, 

 forming a screen to hide the shed and the small 

 vegetable garden (in the back yard). In each upper 

 corner, surrounded by shrubbery, is a garden seat, 

 painted to match the color of the trim of the dwell- 

 ing. The planting in the front yard is simple and 

 consists of choice shrubs, arranged in groups on 

 either side of the porch, and herbaceous plants along 

 the south side of the bungalow. There are two 

 dwarf evergreens planted on either side of the 

 approach. The north side being provided with 

 ferns and other shade-loving plants. For details 

 about the planting list, see pages 8 and 116.
