The Diversified 
Gardens of 
Mr. E. E. Baker 
Ke^anee, 111. 
Frederick Perkins, Architect 
Though the bustle of business life is all around, 
the garden boundaries screen the evidences and 
hold within a series of different features that 
please the fancy or whims of the moment — 
formal water, rolling lawn, evergreen founda- 
tion, Roses, etc. 
A cool water way with a Water- 
lily pool in the distance connecting 
the summer porch and the garden 
tea-house. Herbaceous flowering 
plants are set into the bed on either 
side with evergreens planted to 
soften the canal boundaries
