CALIFORNIA GARDENS 



NO. 35 FORMAL GARDEN 



An exceptionally good design for 

 a small formal garden suited to a 

 corner or a 50-foot inside lot. The 

 central feature of it is a lily pool, 

 surrounded by a wide margin of 

 beautiful water loving plants. A 

 wide path, running across the place 

 with a central walk and two lateral 

 ones converging towards the center 

 of the pool, form two irregular pen- 

 tagons, each one having a tall ever- 

 green in the center and five beauti- 

 ful flowering herbaceous plants sur- 

 rounding it. There are two large, 

 comfortable seats placed in the 

 shrubbery forming the background 

 of the garden, and a smaller one 

 near the bungalow on the axial line 

 of the garden. The planting in the 

 front yard consists mostly of choice 

 shrubs, arranged in attractive 

 groupings, along the sides of the 

 bungalow near the porches and in 

 front of the kitchen entrance, hid- 

 ing the latter entirely from the 

 street. There are two specimens of 

 tall evergreens and three dwarf 

 ones on the front lawn, as shown 

 on the plan. The small garden in 

 the back yard contains a few vege- 

 table beds. For details about the 

 planting list, see pages 8 and 116.
