THE WELL-CONSIDERED GARDEN 



insignificant in height to neighbor the tall spike 

 above it, the use of the lavender-blue in large 

 masses added enormously to the efifect of the 

 torches. 



In the second illustration, the rather thin-look- 

 ing elms seem to flank the garden entrance rather 

 fortunately. A certain pleasurable sensation is 

 felt in the balance afforded by the doubly bor- 

 dered walk with its blue and lavender Michael- 

 mas daisies or hardy asters. It is surely the repe- 

 tition of the twos which has something to do with 

 this: two borders, two posts, two trees, the eye 

 carried twice upward by higher and yet higher 

 objects.
