Some New Garden Furnishings 
NTIL recently the very high cost of decorative 
furnishings for the lawn and garden have placed 
them beyond the reach of the ordinary purse, but 
an evergrowing appreciation of their real values as well 
as their beauties has brought a gradual readjustment of 
prices until now 
very good looking 
and durable seats, 
benches, tables, 
chairs, etc., may 
be had at very 
reasonable rates. 
This is particu- 
larly true of 
hardwood furni- 
ture that, each 
year, is growing 
more popular for 
garden and lawn 
use. 
Whatever its 
cost, nothing is 
more effective 
than these simple 
wooden seats and 
benches that 
breathe hospital- 
ity in every line. 
In what other material could be duplicated the charm 
of the English rose arch with seats pictured here? In- 
teresting as it now is, imagine its beauty under a shower 
of blooming roses. Could the garden have a more per- 
fect gateway? Its proportions, 9 ft. high, 8 ft. ain. 
wide, seats 4 ft. long, are well considered, allowing for 
a full growth without losing its effectiveness, and its 
price of $75 is most reasonable when one considers that 
it is hand made of hardest wood and painted three coats 
in either white, light or dark green. 
There are less expensive rose arbor seats that are 
especially good for nook effects. One of these has.a 
removeable seat 4 ft. 6 in. long, with the standards at 
the seat ends and the arch across its length leaving the 
back open. This arch is only $20, while the seat with 
slanting back comes at $22.50. Apropos of supports for 
climbing flowers, this dainty trellis surmounted by a 
painted bird is very attractive. These come in three 
sizes and this, the largest, sells at $2.75. 
The other article illustrated is a metal seed cup for 
bird food, a very humane addition to the garden for all 
seasons. It costs $.75. 
Not less interesting in either effect or price is the sim- 
ple bench pictured here, that, made of hard 2 inch lum- 
ber, 5 ft. long by 17 in. high and 16 in. deep, sells at $0. 
The new wicker garden pieces this season do not 
greatly differ from those of last year, but there are 
various little improvements that add materially to their 
appearance as well as to their comfort. For instance. 
the good old hooded beach chairs have this year cunning 
little awnings of the same materials as their cushions. 
These awnings are regulated with cords after the manner 
of the usual window awning. Needless to say, the 
effect is very good while much is gained in actual com- 
fort.
