CALIFORNIA GARDENS 



NO. 11. FORMAL GARDEN 



This plan shows quite an unusual design 

 and a garden of strongly marked indiyidual- 

 ity. The commanding feature of it is the 

 pergola, which stretches back from the cir- 

 cular path, bounded on the sides by open 

 spaces of lawn and at the far end by another 

 pergola. The latter is enclosed on three sides 

 by various flowering shrubs, the front being 

 planted with climbing roses with openings to 

 give a glimpse of the lawn and the beautiful 

 herbaceous borders, along the boundary line. 

 This beautiful pergola furnished with easy 

 chairs and tea table and so surrounded by 

 shrubs that the charm of seclusion is well 

 preserved, makes a delightful place to rest. 

 The front part of the garden has a round lily 

 pond, edged with various plants, which grow 

 on the waterside. Choice flowering shrubs 

 are planted back of the bungalow, along the 

 side of the garage and the fence opposite. A 

 garden seat is placed in the shrubbery near 

 the building, opposite the pergola entrance, 

 allowing a splendid vista of the entire scen- 

 ery. The little vegetable garden is well 

 screened from the garden side and can be 

 reached either from the rear pergola or the 

 entrance between the garage and the fence. 

 Along the drive are shrubs and herbaceous 

 plants, which form the boundary. The front 

 lawn is open on to the street, and has a few 

 choice shrubs near the building. For details 

 about the planting list, see pages 8 and 116.
