“A Welcome 
to 
Fairyland” 
C'XTRA VA GANT ? Yes— 
£h but nevertheless more than 
one enthusiast has used the 
word “ fairyland ” to describe a 
garden adorned with 
S^AIatheivs 
CjARDEN-(JAFT 
H AVE you a sheltered nook 
in the shrubbery that in- 
vites a cosy bench, a knoll that 
should be crowned with a Rose 
Grotto, a vista that deserves a 
frame of arching cypress ? 
THE smallest garden, as well as the 
most spacious of estates, needs the 
deft contrast wrought by the addition 
of a bench and table copied from some 
inn yard of Merrie England or a 
trellis and grotto accurately repro- 
duced from a dainty French original. 
'G'VERY garden lover will discover 
■*-' some appealing suggestion in the 
hundred or more photographs con- 
tained in the Mathews Gardencraft 
Book — 72 pages of garden furniture 
and adornments fashioned of ageproof 
woods. It is gladly sent on receipt of 
eighteen cents in stamps or coin.
