DFCORATIONS FOR THE SIMPLE 
HOUSE GARDEN 
Of the many joys of country living perhaps none 
holds so much interest for the garden lover as does the 
decoration and furnishing of his beloved garden. Cer- 
tain it is that few subjects require more serious and 
careful consideration than this one of properly selecting 
and placing those articles which will prove themselves 
not only artistic and agreeable to their immediate sur- 
roundings, but which will also fit in to the general garden 
scheme and perspective. 
Naturally the flowers themselves, their arrangement, 
etc., claim the majority of attention, but the thoughtful 
gardener knows that the beauty of these lovely friends 
is heightened and their picturesque effect is enhanced 
through the contrast afforded by the use of fountains, 
sun dials, urns and other objects of interest. 
There is an erroneous idea abroad that such decor- 
ations are suitable only to large gardens. Indeed the 
contrary is more nearly correct. In England, where 
almost every known type of garden is to be found, the 
small garden has been brought to the highest refinement 
of artistic effect, through the use of these decorations. 
The careful observer will note that in all of these 
small gardens simplicity is the key-note and is respon- 
sible for whatever suc- 
cess has been attained. 
In fact the exploita- 
tion of simplicity is 
most necessary. The 
garden lover who is 
looking for decorative 
garden furnishings 
should ponder the sub- 
ject with close attention 
to his garden plan, 
eliminating the use of 
every piece however 
much coveted, selecting 
finally only those ar- 
ticles whose designs and 
proportions are in keep- 
ing with the garden 
plan and whose utility 
is at once apparent. 
Fortunately for us the 
way is easy. Clever 
manufacturers have an- 
ticipated the growing 
demand for garden dec- 
orations, with the re- 
sult that there is to 
be found a wide and 
artistic line of these interesting articles. 
Nor are the prices exorbitant. One may find what he 
wants at almost any cost, an item that is not to be lightly 
disregarded when planning the garden decorations. 
Among the many beautiful objects to be found, whose 
prices place them within the reach of everyone, the 
bird bath illustrated here is one of the most attractive. 
Of ivory tinted pottery, the delicate tracery patterns 
on the pedestal and the fiutings of the bowl have a dis- 
tinction not often found in such pieces. It is 33J inches 
tall by 16 inches wide and sells at $14.00. 
Unusual too is the sun-dial shown here where the 
butterfly wings mark off the fleeting hours on a sun- 
flower dial. This fascinating conceit in bronze will 
prove a charming addition to any garden.

Ivory tinted pottery is the material 
of this charming decorated bird 
bath. It is 33! inches tall by 16 
inches wide and sells at $14.00. 
The innate charm of this dial is enhanced by mounting it on 
an unexpected stone in the informal garden.
