their grounds at a minimum cost. The 
central theme here is the summer house, 
which can be screened against mosquitoes 
if desired and should furnish an excellent 
outdoor living-room for mother and children 
from May until October. The cost of this 
house is, of course, not included, and the 
minimum for an attractive summer house of 
octagon shape would be about $40 or $50, 
not counting the labor. 
The summer house is to be coyered with 
Hall’s honeysuckle and Clematis paniculata, 
two fragrant vines which will provide a 
succession of flowers from July until frost. 
The large trees used on the street and in the 
backyard are not arbitrary, and in fact the 
horse chestnut casts so dense a shade it 
might be better to substitute some showy 
small tree of a decorative character like 
Magnolia Soulangeana. 
The cost of the perennial flowers needed 
to embellish the hedge which screens the 
vegetable garden and the environment of 
the summer house is not included. 
II. A FRUIT GARDEN FOR $75 
The third plan should appeal mightily 
to anyone who would like a gardening hobby 
that does not require more than an hour’s 
work a day, and would produce something 
edible that is different from the ordinary 
vegetable garden. Dwarf fruit trees are 
the only kinds that can now be recommended 
for city or suburban gardens. One great 
advantage of using them is that you can 
have such an astonishing variety in a back- 
yard. An ordinary or standard apple tree 
requires forty feet square; on this same space 
you can grow fifteen low-headed dwarf trees 
and perhaps as many as thirty trained in 
various shapes of beauty. The training 
of these fruits is a delightful amusement. 
Let no one think that dwarf fruit trees 
require less work than standard trees. 
They require much more. It is useless to 
plant them unless you attend to their needs 
every day. Have a spraying outfit and some 
such book as Fletcher’s “How to Make a 
Fruit Garden,” Bailey’s “ Principles of Fruit 
Growing,” or Waugh’s book on dwarf trees. 
The fruit garden here planned in formal 
fashion would make a delightful show 
place for visitors. It includes enough small 
fruits for a family of four and a considerable 
variety of apples and pears, these being the 
longest lived and the ones ‘most easily 
obtained in the form of dwarf trees. 
The most beautiful spectacle presented 
by any of the dwarf trees is a pear trimmed 
in pyramidal fashion, which is a vision of 
beauty when covered with flowers in spring 
from top to bottom; consequently a pyra- 
midal pear tree has been designated as the 
central feature of this garden. 
Ivy. A ROSE GARDEN FOR $100 
The fourth plan is designed especially 
for the lover of roses and consists of a winding 
walk which is arched at five intervals with 
climbing roses. The walk is rendered more 
stately by using tree or standard roses at reg- 
ular intervals. These are alternated with beds 
of hybrid perpetuals and other bush roses. 
THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 
This would make a very showy place but 
should not be attempted by anyone who 
does not have a natural love for roses and 
some skill in their culture. 
There can be no question that a more 
refined and appropriate, though quieter 
treatment would be to have the rose garden 
in the place now designated for the vegetaLle 
329 
garden — namely, at the back of the lot — 
where it could be screened from view until 
the last moment, thus making a pleasant 
surprise. This would be all the better if 
organically connected with the house by 
means of a straight walk lined with flower 
borders and arched with roses in the manner 
indicated in the present plan.
