A DUTCH GARDEN 



This subject is a Dutch garden, and is notable chiefly for the 

 intensity of its effects. There is absolutely no lawn in it. It con- 

 sists entirely of walks and flower-beds, and is correct where many 

 cut-flowers are desired, and especially where the area is very 

 limited. The garden of Paul de Longpre, in Pasadena, California, 

 is of this type. As is well known, Mr. de Longpre is a famous 

 painter of flower-forms. 



In judging this garden we must remember that it is only the 

 door-step, as it were, and that it is an annex of the house. There 

 are acres of lawn in the natural garden beyond the balustrade. 



A pleasing feature of this estate is the rolling character of 

 the ground which is so pronounced as to make it virtually a two- 

 story garden. The portion in the picture overlooks a deep valley, 

 which is itself suturated with ravines and gullies. A number of 

 little knolls are covered with trees.
