CALIFORNIA GARDENS 



NO. 12. NATURAL GARDEN 



The special elements of beauty in 

 this little garden are simplicity of line 

 and richness in detail of planting. 

 Two paths lead by graceful curves to 

 a little pavilion, almost entirely hid- 

 den in masses of beautiful flowering 

 shrubbery. Groups of shrubs are 

 planted along the back of the bunga- 

 low, hiding the kitchen entrance. The 

 garage, with the little vegetable gar- 

 den back of it, is screened by irregular 

 groups of choice shrubbery. A mixed 

 herbaceous border runs along the 

 boundary line opposite the garage. 

 On the lawn are a few shrubs and 

 evergreens planted in attractive 

 groups in front of the pavilion and 

 near the garden entrance. The front 

 is open to the street, the lawn being 

 continuous with those of the neighbor- 

 ing gardens. The planting on the 

 lawn is simple and attractive, consist- 

 ing of a couple of low evergreens on 

 either side of the walk, a specimen 

 conifer on the lawn near the boundary 

 and a few selected flowering shrubs in 

 front of the bungalow. The terrace 

 on the side of the dwelling is flanked 

 by herbaceous plants and a hardy 

 flower border runs along the drive, 

 forming the boundary line. For de- 

 tails about the planting list, see pages 

 8 and 116.
