GARFIELD GARDENS— LOOKING WEST FROM OUTLOOK. 
The fountains are equipped with apparatus 
for varying the displays and for lighting 
effects at night. The contract work on the 
gardens amounted to $34,7h0.30. 
The fundamental rule of landscaping is 
to create a picture and the effort has been 
to carry out this principle in the construc- 
tion of these gardens. 
( 
During the early spring, as soon as the 
contractors finished a section, men were 
employed to bring this to a finished grade 
and it was sodded and flower beds were 
traced ; later on these were planted with 
highly colored foliage plants. These sec- 
tions were kept in good condition during 
the summer and were much admired. 
After the contract was finished for all 
symmetrical work, a force of men was em- 
ployed to construct walks of crushed stone 
throughout the balance of the garden, 
bring all ground to a smooth surface and 
prepare beds for the informal planting of 
perennials in masses.
