PRAY, HUBBARD, AND WHITE 



The garden is a delightful little place not thirty 

 feet square. It shows the infinite possibilities of 

 the small flower garden. We like its friendly 

 colors, its little touches of formality, and its seclu- 

 sion above the street. 



Part of the success of this garden is due to 

 its enclosure. On the north side by the porch 

 are masses of Rhododendron. Lily-of-the-Valley 

 plants are crowded together by the steps, and 

 there is a Box bush on either side. On the east 

 side is the picket fence. Opposite is a row of 

 Arbor Vitae now six or eight feet high, and on the 

 south side the branches of the street trees make 

 a heavy green screen. 



Much of the success of the garden comes from 

 the worth of its design. In a small garden the 

 design wins approval through sheer simplicity. 

 This design is based on a circular composition 

 inscribed in a square. It ia an old motive al- 

 ways new. The spreading Pinus mugho is not 

 a very acceptable central figure for it is coarse 

 in texture and will soon grow too large and 

 dwarf the rest of the design. We are sorry it is 

 in the photograph for the center was the place 

 designed for a sundial or a slender columned bird 

 bowl.
