CALIFORNIA GARDENS 



NO. 29 NATURAL GARDEN 



This plan shows a charming small gar- 

 den laid out in French landscape style. It 

 has a curved walk, which encircles an ir- 

 regular-shaped lawn, planted along its 

 edge with effective groups of evergreens 

 and shrubs. In the corner to the right, 

 enclosed by a dense mass of shrubbery, is 

 a semi-circular space for garden seats and 

 table. The pergola-covered porch in front 

 of the breakfast room is flanked by groups 

 of choice shrubs and overgrown with 

 vines ; on the lawn in front of it is a round 

 flower bed, with a dwarf evergreen on 

 either side. Dense masses of various 

 shrubs enclose the garden on all sides, giv- 

 ing it the charm of privacy. A small piece 

 of ground is set apart for fruit trees and 

 vegetables in the background beside the ga- 

 rage. The front is open to the street, the 

 lawn being divided by the wide walk into 

 two sections, each having a specimen ever- 

 green in its center and a dwarf one near 

 the entrance. Beautiful shrubs and herba- 

 ceous plants are planted in front of the 

 porch and along the sides of the bungalow. 

 The drive to the left, running along the 

 boundary formed by a narrow flower bor- 

 der, enters the back yard through a gate, 

 which shuts off the view from the street. 

 Omitting the driveway and garage this 

 plan could be used on a 40-foot lot. For 

 details about the planting list, see pages 

 8 and 116.
