THE GARDEN AND ITS ACCESSORIES 



trees and shrubs and flowers overlook the 

 fact that gardens were meant to be lived 

 in even from the time of Adam. 



It is not too much to assert that the 

 most enjoyable gardens the world over are 

 those that are furnished with some acces- 

 sories of an architectural or semi-architec- 

 tural nature. Recall the gardens you have 

 admired ; those that have been truly satis- 

 fying, have they not had some permanent 

 features other than the flow r ering plants 

 and trees, an interesting old piece of wall, 

 a modest fountain, a summer-house or 

 arbor, or perhaps only a bench so placed as 

 to cast an air of comfort over all ?
