CALIFORNIA GARDENS 



NO. 32 NATURAL GARDEN 



This plan shows how a small gar- 

 den, of simple design, may be given 

 character by its contents. It is laid 

 out in French landscape style with 

 curved paths enclosing an egg-shaped 

 lawn, planted with effective groups of 

 shrubs and evergreens. A cozy per- 

 gola-covered terrace, overgrown with 

 vines and screened on the sides by 

 shrubbery, occupies the near end of 

 the garden. On the lawn, opposite 

 the terrace, is a round flower bed, 

 flanked on either side by dwarf trees. 

 Dense masses of shrubbery enclose 

 the garden on all sides, giving it the 

 delightful feeling of privacy. An 

 octagonal pavilion, surrounded by 

 shrubbery, is shown in the upper cor- 

 ner to the left, and a semi-circular re- 

 cess for a garden seat occupies the 

 corner to the right. The planting on 

 the lawn in front of the bungalow con- 

 sists of specimens of coniferous trees 

 and dwarf evergreens, arranged in 

 attractive groupings. Herbaceous 

 plants and shrubs are planted around 

 the porch, along the sides of the bun- 

 galow and near the kitchen entrance. 

 The entrance to the garage is from the 

 side street. This plan is suitable for 

 a corner or a 50-foot inside lot. For 

 details about the planting list, see 

 pages 8 and 116.
