NO. 28 FORMAL GARDEN 



An unusual and very interesting fea- 

 ture of this beautiful formal garden is 

 the circular pergola which forms the 

 central motive in the distance. It is 

 luxuriantly overgrown with climbing 

 roses and vines of beautiful flowers suc- 

 ceeding each other so closely that 

 scarcely a month passes without the fra- 

 grant bloom. In the foreground is a cir- 

 cular path, surrounding a grass plot 

 with a flower bed in the center and a nar- 

 row border along its edge. It is con- 

 nected with the pergola by a short walk, 

 flanked on either side by a dwarf ever- 

 green. Beautiful flowering shrubs 

 densely planted in effective groups along 

 the boundary of the garden, render the 

 place more secluded and private. On the 

 left side of the garden, entirely screened 

 by shrubbery, is the garage and a small 

 vegetable garden with a path of step- 

 ping stones leading to it from the per- 

 gola. The planting in the front yard is 

 simple and most effective. It consists 

 of beautiful shrubs planted in groups 

 on either side of the curved walk and 

 along the boundary to the right. Shrubs 

 and herbaceous plants are used in the 

 border along the drive and in front of 

 the bungalow. A tall specimen evergreen 

 is shown on the lawn near the drive and 

 two dwarf ones complete the group 

 flanking the entrance. For details about 

 the planting list, see pages 8 and 116.
