WINDING INTO THE DEPTHS 
OF COOLER SHADE 
(Below) The pavement of moss-green 
tile is bordered on one side by grass 
and on the other side by the glisten- 
ing Coprosma which in the sultriest 
season never loses its appearance of 
being freshly bathed in dew, while 
overhead the soft foliage of a Pepper- 
tree brings John Sedding’s “wizardry 
of green gloom " inevitably to mind 
A LOVELY LOITERING PLACE 
BETWEEN HOUSE AND GARDEN 
A COLUMN OF GREEN 
SHOOTS SKYWARD 
This red brick path lead- 
ing from the house terrace 
through a little Rose- 
roofed arbor to a children’s 
playhouse, reminds us in 
its directness of those gar- 
den paths in the days of 
good Queen Bess that were 
quaintly named “forth- 
rights.’’ Straight tree and 
straight path are well 
combined 
HERE WE HAVE UTILITY 
AS WELL AS BEAUTY 
Backed by a lattice, this simple 
pergola aids in screening the 
service-court and provides sup- 
port for climbing Roses that 
will, when fully grown and 
covering it, distract attention 
altogether from the purpose 
which it serves. This is highly 
desirable in any screening 
feature, since curiosity is never 
piqued with regard to what may 
lie beyond if the screen itself 
is sufficiently important and in- 
teresting, architecturally or 
florally 
What can compare, in a land of vivid 
sunlight, with steps of purplish brick 
such as are seen on the right, over- 
hung by Wistaria that drapes a per- 
gola whose round columns of creamy 
stucco record, in the movement of the 
vine’s shadow cast thereon, every 
vagrant breeze ?
