The Garden 

 that We Made 



A corner of the Herb 

 Garden, beside the 

 gardener's cottage. 



beds with the espalier background after the manner of the 

 broad middle path ; and this scheme continues along the 

 arm of the " cross-road " which leads up to a typical cosy-

The Gardener's 

 Cottage. 



The cottage, though recently erected, looks as old as 

 the well does, and it gives a charming finish to the long,

 from the well to the cottage is edged with roses. Roses, 

 roses all the way — roses of every kind, every size, and 

 every colour. Each variety has its own square ; but on a 

 narrow strip along the edges of the path there is, first, 

 Gruss au Teplitz, then — supposing one has had enough of 

 their red colour — one can refresh the eye with the snowy 

 splendour of Frau Karl Druschki, until one can again 

 rejoice in the salmon-pink Johanna Sebus and the rich 

 foliage that particular kind of rose can boast of. Our 



favourite roses are : Prince

 golden rose ; the luxuriant 

 Laurette Messini ; the 

 simple and graceful Kil-
