And now we may in- 

 dicate the special points 

 of resemblance in this 

 design to the gi-and- 

 niother's garden. They 

 are to be found princi- 

 pally in the border of 

 plants eight feet wide 

 that skirts the \valk and 

 grass plat. Each angle 

 of this grass plat is cut

 sided figure with four 

 long and four short sides. A strip 

 of turf two feet wide is first left, 

 and then comes the mixed skirt-

 plants, relieved against the dark 

 green clipped wall of privet.

 garden, there is plenty of color 

 and odor scattered about in some-

 ready to the hand for plucking or 

 not, as the passing mood may 

 determine. 



In a general way, the large- 

 growing plants are placed at the 

 back, beyond a row of lower 

 habit, and next the path we
