A Glory of Bloom at the Steps 



the Bungalow 



pictures are they establish the 

 cardinal fact in all planting, 

 that good taste is the funda- 

 mental element in all outdoor 

 decoration. A simple little 

 picket gate, set in a vine-cov- 

 ered wall, may not be beautiful 

 in itself, but it is beautiful 

 vhen placed in precisely that way. Garden design is quite as essential for 

 :he bungalow as for the most pretentious dwelling. It adds to every house, 

 :he most simple as well as the most ornate. It is a mistake to suppose that 

 Decause the bungalow especially appeals to the simple life, it is a dwelling 

 :o be built in the woods or on the seacoast and left without thought of its 

 surroundings. No successful bungalow is treated in that manner; but the 

 adjoining grounds receive as much care, as much thought, and perhaps cost 

 as much as is the case with more expensive structures. It is cost that pays, 

 lowever, as everything pays that tends to produce the home beautiful. And 

 surely if one lives in the country because one loves it, one must have 

 Dne's own house lot a special source of gratification and delight in its 

 adornment, and especially in the arrangement of its grounds.
