CALIFORNIA GARDENS 



NO. 33 ROCK AND WATER GAR- 

 DEN 



Fortunate is the owner who has a 

 garden which is beautified by the 

 presence of water. It will greatly en- 

 hance the charm of his garden and 

 make it more interesting and pictur- 

 esque. An ideal garden, containing 

 water in its various forms, is shown 

 on this plan, designed for a corner 

 lot. The center of the garden is oc- 

 cupied by a pond, where choice water 

 lilies and other aquatics are grown. 

 The overflow of the pond supplies the 

 necessary water for the adjoining bog 

 garden in which plants requiring an 

 extra degree of moisture are grown. 

 The garage in the background is al- 

 most hidden by natural grouping of 

 tall plants. A little artificial stream- 

 let, emerging from a pipe, completely 

 hidden in a cleft of the rockwork near 

 the fence, gives actual life to the 

 scene as it splashes over rocks and 

 boulders. A narrow walk, as informal 

 as possible, with broken and stony 

 edges, crosses the streamlet over a 

 rustic bridge and ends in a little veg- 

 etable garden, well hidden by a group 

 of trees and shrubs. From the sec- 

 ond bridge a little path of stepping 

 stones gives access to the pond from 

 the street side. For details about the 

 planting list, see pages 8 and 116.
