 GARDEN 



Here is a typical design, 

 which was often used in 

 the colonies North and 

 South. It is a great wheel 

 in which the central foun- 

 tain takes the place of the 

 hull. The radiating paths 

 represent the spokes, 

 which mark off the box- 

 bordered flower beds, and 

 a circular path encloses 

 the whole like a tire. Each 

 flower bed is planted with 

 dwarf evergreens and 

 beautiful perennials. A 

 wide path, bounded by 

 tall evergreens, runs 

 across the garden front 

 of the house, with three 

 other paths connecting 

 it with the center. Each 

 of the diagonal paths, 

 after crossing the cir- 

 cular one,- lead to a rest- 

 ing place in the upper 

 corners of the garden. A 

 thick evergreen hedge en- 

 closes the place on all 

 sides. The planting in the front yard consists of four beautiful evergreens, 

 a few shade trees and many choice shrubs arranged in effective groupings on 

 the lawn. For details about the planting list, see pages 8 and 116.
