CALIFORNIA GARDENS 



NO. 24 FOEMAL GARDEN 



A very successful combination of a 

 flower garden and orchard is shown on 

 this plan. It is laid out in formal style 

 with a regular-shaped lawn in the center, 

 surrounded by a wide gravel path. A 

 narrow border of pegged-down roses, 

 with a row of standard roses rising from 

 it, follows the outlines of the lawn. A 

 number of fruit trees are planted along 

 the shrubbery hedge, which encloses the 

 garden on all sides. The short narrow 

 path at the far end of the garden leads 

 through a rose arch into the small 

 kitchen garden. A drive, passing under 

 the porte-cochere, runs along the hedge 

 to the garage in the rear of the lot. 

 There are flowering shrubs and herba- 

 ceous plants on either side of the kitchen 

 entrance. The lawn in front of the bun- 

 galow is open to the street and has a 

 few shrubs and flowers planted near the 

 dwelling and the porch. If an un- 

 broken surface of lawn is desired, the 

 walk leading directly to the front porch 

 can be omitted and the straight line of 

 the remaining narrow path can be 

 broken by groups of shrubbery ar- 

 ranged in front of it. The space between 

 the hedge and the north side of the 

 bungalow offers an ideal place for grow- 

 ing ferns and other plants, which thrive 

 in the shade. For details about the 

 planting list, see pages 8 and Il6.
