Villa Gardens 41 



Example 3. 



This example illustrates the treatment of a 

 rectangular plot in a manner which avoids a too 

 conspicuous symmetry, and secures an ample 

 flower-bearing area in the parts most in sunshine. 

 The principal beds focus about the summer- 

 house, to which also the path leads. 



The tall trees at the north end of the garden 

 cast their shadows on the wall and adjoining 

 premises, and may therefore be allowed full 

 liberty of growth, if the neighbour raises no 

 objection. 



The border beneath them may be planted 

 with Ivy or Periwinkle, and a few Starworts. 



The cross path leading to the summer-house 

 might be spanned by a pergola, if desired, on 

 which Rambling Roses, Clematis, Gourds or 

 Wistaria might be trained.
