CALIFORNIA GARDENS 



NO. 25 ROSE GARDEN 



This charming rose garden offers 

 quiet seclusion in its well-planned ar- 

 rangements. Its commanding feature 

 is the pergola, which covers the terrace 

 and the wide walk along the north bound- 

 ary of the garden. Beautiful climb- 

 ing roses and vines cover the pergola 

 almost entirely and make it the pleasant- 

 est of out-door resting places. A fence, 

 with a pergola top over-grown with vines 

 and roses, forms the boundary at the 

 extreme end and along the left side of 

 the garden. Shrubbery planted near the 

 terrace and at the far end of the garden, 

 forms a beautiful background for roses. 

 A gravel path encloses a symmetrical 

 lawn, which has a row of standards 

 planted in a narrow border of pegged- 

 down roses. Vines planted near the ga- 

 rage cover its garden side entirely. 

 There are flower borders along the south 

 side of the front porch entrance. A path 

 of stepping stones leads through the 

 fernery along the north side of the bun- 

 galow to the garden entrance. The front 

 of the garden is open to the street, being- 

 divided by a wide central walk into two 

 lawns, each lawn having a specimen tree 

 (evergreen or palm) in its center and a 

 dwarf evergreen near the entrance. On 

 either side of the bungalow the lot is 

 enclosed by an evergreen hedge. For 

 details about the planting list, see pages 

 8 and 116.
