LAWNS AND THEIR EMBELLISHMENT

Variety and Vista 
That the lawn is the 
groundwork in the crea- 
tion of outdoor pictures 
is well exemplified in the 
larger landscape illustra- 
tion. Here we see a de- 
lightfully broad sweep of 
greensward artistically 
fringed with trees and 
shrubbery of pleasing va- 
riety in form and color, 
leading to eye -satisfying 
vistas, perspectives and 
sky-line. 
The Parterre 
Old-fashioned parterre bedding, although much decried by 
partisans of "the natural,” still retains for many people its 
charm of association, and there is no doubt that when the 
parterre is artistically designed and properly situated in juxta- 
position with appropriate architecture it forms a very orna- 
mental feature of the house grounds. The elaborate flower beds 
edged with 
dark green 
Box kept well 
trimmed to 
form bring out 
the patterns in 
strong relief 
against the 
background of 
white gravel.
