House & Garden's 



The decorative value of vines against a 

 wall of dazzling whiteness is shown in 

 this garden of Mrs. John C. Phillips at 

 Beverly, Mass. They hang in profusion 

 over the balustrade and clamber up 

 from the border of perennials, making 

 a charming background fur the quaint 

 old statue of St. Francis that surmounts 

 the bird bath and fountain 



Most successful h the arrangement of 

 this garden vista. The dark background 

 of luxuriant trees, the rich beauty of 

 the perennial borders, the accentuating 

 polled hydrangeas, all Iced up to and 

 enhance the delicate grace of the little 

 Diana at the end of the path. This is 

 a bit of the garden on Mrs. Gordon 

 .Abbott's estate at Manchester, .Xfass.
