House & Garden 



{Above) The water-garden at 

 Bridge House. Weyhridge, the resi- 

 dence of Mrs. Trower, is a canal 

 ending in an Italian tea-house 

 flanked with creeper-clad columns. 

 Water-lilies, kept -uell within 

 bounds, enrich ihe reflections in its 

 clear depths Designed by Mr. 

 Harold Peto 



The arch forming Ihe inlet to the 

 water parterre, .n the illustration 

 below this, is built in dry stone. 

 The treatment of the curb, which 

 is edged with flag-stones, should 

 be noted, since it avoids a loo 

 sharp edge in an ingenious manner 



(Left) .4( the end oj the lower ter- 

 race in Mr. Prince Smith's garden 

 at Whinburn, Keighley, lies this 

 pool. White Valerian grows in 

 the dry bank, but nothing breaks 

 the calm surface of the water 

 save two sparse chimps of reeds.

The water parterre which runs the 

 entire length of Ihe centre terrace 

 at Whinburn, Krighley. is of un- 

 usual and interesting design. Iris 

 reeds grow within its narrow bor- 

 ders, and foxgloves hide the lop of 

 the dry built-in wall of the terrace
