OUCKENED BY THE MAGIC OF A BIT OF STONE 



IF that stone, vitalized by the sculptor's chisel and ap- 

 propriately framed, is as harmonious with the scene 

 which it adorns as this Apollo with the radiance and 

 vivid beauty of sunshine and flowers in the garden of 

 Mrs. L. Tiffany Dyer at Southampton, Long Island. There 

 is dawning in our garden consciousness a recognition of the 

 vitality which a well-chosen statue lends to a scene; and 

 while temperance and restraint ought never to be relaxed in 



this connection any more than in any other, it is unquestion- 

 ably true that heie is an opportunity for the exercise 

 of the liveliest fancy. A garden may be keyed to a 

 piece of sculpture or the stone may be fashioned to 

 embody the spirit of an already existing garden, it mat- 

 ters not which; but it does matter greatly that the two 

 shall express absolute unity of thought and singleness 

 of concept.
