Fig. 105. — Size, 87 feet by 30 feet. Aspect, NNE. A feature is made of 

 a formal group of beds facing the summer house, a sundial occupying the 

 centre of the group. The path terminates in an alpine garden, which com- 

 mimicates by steps with a detached grass space, planted for shade. The di- 

 viding hedge gives a sense of enclosure to the formal garden, and privacy to 

 the space beyond. 



Fig. 106. — Size, 116 feet by 40 feet. Aspect, SW. The summer house, 

 trees, and shrubs screen the diagonal piece of fence. The end space is de- 

 voted to a sunken alpine garden. A low rulable wall retains the borders to north 

 and south-west. A raised circular bed occupies the centre. The roofed space 

 at the house-back is a veranda, from which a pleasant vista down the plot is 

 obtained.
