CALIFORNIA GARDENS 



NO. 19 NATURAL GARDEN 



This plan represents a little city garden 

 on a 50 x 150 lot. The planting is simple 

 and attractive. It is composed of a few 

 trees and many choice flowering shrubs, 

 planted along the boundary, screening and 

 protecting the garden on all sides and 

 leaving in the center open spaces of lawn 

 with small groups of beautiful shrubbery. 

 A wide path leads to the little vegetable 

 garden with a few fruit trees, and to the 

 shed at the extreme end of the lot. A nar- 

 row path leads by graceful curves to a lit- 

 tle flower bed and to a resting place "A," 

 where, if desired, a little pavilion can be 

 erected. The lawn in front of the charm- 

 ing bungalow is open to the street and con- 

 tinuous with those of the adjoining gar- 

 dens. Two beautiful evergreens are 

 placed on either side of the lawn. Groups 

 of flowering shrubs are planted near the 

 bungalow. On the sides of the dwelling 

 the lot is enclosed by a thin evergreen 

 hedge. There are two little flower beds on 

 either side of the terrace and a larger one 

 extending across the front of the cozy 

 porch. This garden, together with the 

 charming bungalow, can be duplicated in 

 any part of the country, provided proper 

 plants are used to suit the local conditions. 

 For details about the planting list, see 

 pages 8 and 116.
