i t THE GARDE> 



The garden should be a resting-place for 

 weary eyes, or head, or heart. 



It is this idea of the home that should deter- 

 mine the unity of design for the garden. The 

 home idea requires not only harmony of the 

 parts of the garden itself, but unity as the 

 whole of the home, including house and other 

 buildings and grounds intended for other pur- 

 poses. 



Several things will contribute greatly to this 

 effect. The house should with appropriate 

 plantings be "tied down" to the ground, as if 

 it grew there as part of the design. The expert 

 will tell us how to do that most effectively, but 

 the one thing to be kept in mind is to make the 

 house so manifestly a part of the design that 

 one cannot think of the garden without the 

 house, or of the house without the garden. 

 Then the approach to the house and the walks 

 leading from the house to the more retired 

 parts of the garden may be made to contribute
