HENDERSON’S PICTURESQUE GARDENS 
The Terrace Steps in Central Park 
The large view illustrates the very hand- 
some terrace steps and bridge at the end 
of the mall, overlooking the fountain and 
lakes in Central Park, New York. The or- 
nately carved stonework, panels of polished 
marble and granite, balustrades, massive vases 
and arched arcade produce an effect of 
grandeur. The landscape scene from here is 
unapproachable, being composed of green 
lawns, groups of shrubbery and trees, weep- 
ing, round-headed and pyramidal, flower beds 
and ' clumps of hardy - flowering perennial 
plants and ornamental grasses. 
Artistic Scroll Bedding 
We represent here a very effective scroll of flowering plants that stands out boldly on 
the slope against the green 
of the lawn. The rope-like 
scroll is of Stevia serrata va- 
riegata ; enclosing circular 
beds of scarlet and pink 
Geraniums, although numer- 
ous other combinations of 
plants could be used. A 
scroll of salmon Geraniums, 
enclosing beds of red Coleus, 
would be pretty.
