THE GARDEN AND ITS ACCESSORIES 



lish gardens. The " gazebo " is a type of 

 summer-house that occupies a prominent 

 position commanding an extreme view. 

 Its place is at the end of a terrace wall or 

 on a ledge where one may " gaze " at the 

 surrounding country. A garden house of 

 this type is seen in the illustration, "a 

 garden and summer-house on a hillside." 



There is an interesting kind of summer- 

 house to be found in some English gardens. 

 It is planned especially for the enjoyment 

 of gardens in severe weather, and is so ar- 

 ranged that one may sit in the sun and 

 be protected from the wind or vice versa. 

 There are three compartments, each shielded 

 from the other by solid partitions that run 

 from floor to roof. Thus you may choose 

 any one of the three little rooms of the 

 house that has an exposure suited to the 

 conditions required. See plan on page 66. 



Still another little house with similar 

 purpose is arranged with a central pivot on
