CALIFORNIA GARDENS 



NO. 38 FORMAL GARDEN 



This is a very convenient ar- 

 rangement for a garden in which 

 flowers, fruit trees and vegetables 

 are combined in one. A semi-cir- 

 cular lawn, with a flower bed in its 

 center and a few herbaceous plants 

 along the edge, forms the main fea- 

 ture in the foreground of the gar- 

 den. A wide central path, bounded 

 on either side by fruit trees, leads 

 from the semi-circle to the far end 

 of the garden, ending in a resting 

 place, entirely surrounded by 

 shrubbery. The space beyond the 

 fruit trees contains the vegetable 

 garden, screened on three sides by 

 a hedge of fruit shrubs. A hedge 

 of beautiful flowering shrubs forms 

 the boundary on either side of the 

 bungalow. The front has. a semi- 

 circular drive enclosing a lawn, 

 with a round flower bed opposite 

 the porch entrance and eight dwarf 

 evergreens arranged in symmet- 

 rical groups. A tall specimen of 

 a coniferous tree, groups .of or- 

 namental shrubs and herbaceous 

 plants complete the symmetrical 

 planting scheme on either side of 

 the bungalow. The garage is en- 

 tered from the alley in the rear of 

 the lot. For details about the plant- 

 ing list see pages 8 and 116.
