The Treatment of Small Sites.

town gardens try to make up 

 for the absence of a fine sliow 

 of plants by an excess of sculp- 

 ture, which raises visions of a 

 monument mason's yard. Sir E. 

 Lutyens has shown a wise re- 

 straint, and the garden has a 

 refined classical flavour without 

 being stiff. When the borders 

 are furnished at their proper 

 seasons with such things as 

 arabis, spreading its bloom 

 and leafage over the paving, 

 and later with carnations that 

 will bring their brilliant array 

 of colour, the garden will be 

 complete. Carnations in par- 

 ticular are kindly to the town 

 gardener, and in nowise turn 

 against a soil that builders of 

 many generations have salted 

 with brick rubbish. Indeed, 

 the lime of old mortar is 

 often a beneficent aid.
