Select a shady spot in some hill- 

 side orchard for the rustic summer 

 house. Build a platform of rough 

 boards, and fence it in with a rail- 

 ing of rough-cut timber. At one 

 side make a square, peak-roofed 

 shelter or lean-to out of slabs and 

 rough posts. On festive occasions 

 lanterns can be strung about this 

 platform

The gazabo is an old fashioned gar- 

 den adornment. It usually marked, 

 as shown on the plan, the crossing 

 of the garden axes. Formal beds, 

 bordered with box, were on all sides. 

 Here stood the octagonal building 

 ■with lattice walls and open doorways 

 and a curved roof capped by a 

 weathervane. A gazabo adds dignity 

 to the garden scheme

An English tea house — or per- 

 haps some would choose to 

 call it Italian — is built against 

 the garden wall. A roof of 

 slate, with laide projecting 

 eaves; a colonnade fagade with 

 arched openings , and in the 

 shadows a long bench. Cedars 

 in pots stand on either side. 

 A bird basin marks the middle 

 arch, and a tool is in front
