THE GARDEN AND ITS ACCESSORIES 



If for no other reason the sentiment of a 

 sun-dial makes it indeed a garden delight 

 of a lasting quality, never changing, winter 

 or summer, fulfilling its mission year after 

 year. 



Those who would have a pedestal of 

 their own design because of a desire to be 

 more intimately associated with it, or would 

 choose to fashion one out of some old field 

 stone or fragment that recalls memories 

 of bygone days, may with little trouble 

 have their wishes gratified. All of us can 

 recall some old field stone of pillar-like 

 shape, some rounded piece of marble or 

 fragment of a column that we once knew 

 intimately, or was known and often spoken 

 of by some one dear to us in memory. 

 The writer recalls a certain old mill-stone 

 on the shore of a pond where, as a small 

 boy, he used to place his clothes when he 

 went for a swim, and some day he hopes 

 to get this interesting old stone and use it
