THE GARDEN AND ITS ACCESSORIES 



a few, years ago, for some old Colonial 

 gardens, but where they went he could not 

 remember. The globe was made and taken 

 home with pride, and was mounted in front 

 of a rustic summer-house, as shown on 

 page 93. Here it has stood for two years, 

 a most satisfactory piece of garden orna- 

 ment that is ever changing in color at 

 Mother Nature's bidding. It has been 

 admired by many, and similar ones have 

 been placed in a few gardens in the suburbs 

 of Boston. 



This globe is round, made of thick glass, 

 with mercury on the inside, and may be 

 placed on a stone or wooden pedestal. 

 It should not occupy too prominent a 

 position in the landscape, for it is so con- 

 spicuous as to overpower the subtle beauty 

 of the surroundings. Like many choice 

 garden pieces its beauty is enhanced if 

 subordinate to the garden setting.
