THE GARDEN AND ITS ACCESSORIES 



garden, Boston/' shows what a wonderful 

 change may be made in a yard fifty-five 

 feet long and twenty-five feet wide, by the 

 use of a dignified fence, an arbor, a terrace 

 wall and balustrade, and a few dwarf trees 

 and green vines. A space is reserved next 

 to the house for the drying of clothes and 

 the convenience of a few barrels. These 

 are not noticeable from the dining-room 

 and bedrooms, for that part of the garden 

 is at such a low level that one overlooks it 

 and sees only the garden proper. 



The views of other city gardens show 

 some that are much smaller, not more than 

 twenty-five by thirty-five feet, and they 

 point to the successful grouping of many 

 garden accessories that look as happy as 

 though in a larger suburban garden. 



One of the principal problems to be 



solved in these gardens is to construct an 



enclosure that shall be sufficiently high 



to shut out the undesirable view of the
