THE GARDEN AND ITS ACCESSORIES 



grow plants in its crevices, to have the 

 rocks that are on the face of the wall slope 

 with the upper surfaces on a pitch toward 

 the back. This will insure a collection of 

 moisture inside, for the rainwater that falls 

 over the wall will be turned back into it 

 instead of thrown off, and in dry spells the 

 wall may be watered with a hose and the 

 water caught in the same manner. 



In England the moisture-laden air makes 

 it possible for a countless number of plants 

 to be grown in walls of this nature, but in 

 our country the field is more limited, and 

 we must content ourselves with less va- 

 rieties and rely upon dressing our ter- 

 race walls to some extent with vines and 

 climbers. 



If one will but give a little time and 

 thought to the decorative possibilities of 

 a wall it can be made as much a living 

 thing of warmth and color as any other 

 accessory of the garden. No matter where
