^ THE GARDEN BOOK OF CALIFORNIA 



In this climate, temperate as it is, there yet seems to be 

 a certain danger in sitting in the open air exposed to wind 

 or to a draught. In the summer-house this may be avoided 

 in one of two ways: we may simply have a resting-place 

 with roof overhead and free circulation of air beneath, with 

 perhaps a near-by wall or hedge to serve as shelter from the 

 wind ; or, with more elaborate construction and the free use 

 of glass, the complete shelter may be gained. 



A delightful corner in a tea-garden at Coronado is in a 

 tiny three-walled house on a promontory overlooking the 

 sea. The walls on the east and west are of glass. The rear 

 wall, on the south, is solid, while the fourth wall is missing. 

 One could rest for hours in such an inclosure, free from all 

 danger of cold, yet having the sea in full view, a free out- 

 look on the garden, and the knowledge that no callers would 

 intrude.
