Book of Gardens 



It's a jar cry from the humble "swim- 

 min' hole" of bygone days to this regal 

 pool set amid the formal beauty of 

 graveled walks and far-stretching lawns 

 and surrounded by majestic trees that 

 cast their shadows in its mirrored depths. 

 The eject is one of utiusual simplicity 

 and dignity. It is on the estate of Mrs. 

 Gordon Dexter, Beverly, Mass.

This might be the corner of some gar- 

 den in Italy. Italian is the wall fountain 

 of white marble, exquisitely carved and 

 effectively placed in a setting of con- 

 trasting brick. The marble balustrade 

 and graceful urns, also reminiscent of 

 Italy, have for a background, most 

 Italian of all, the imposing beauty of 

 Lombardy poplars. Mrs. Frank P. 

 Frazier's garden, Manchester, Mass.
