HENDERSON’S 
PICTURESQUE GARDENS 
A Pretty Lawn Fountain 
We illustrate below a very pretty example of lawn embellishment. The 
large stone fountain basin forms a fine water garden, in which aquatic plants 
and Water Lilies of various colors appear to great advantage. The flowering 
plants grouped outside of the basin are Tuberous Begonias, Begonia Vernon, 
Geraniums, etc. The smoothly shaven lawn and the luxuriant trees form a 
fine background. 
The Terrace Steps 
The terrace at the lake 
end of the mall in Central 
Park is embellished with 
elaborately carved stone- 
work forming the arcade, 
balustrades and series of 
steps leading to the foun- 
tain. The whole effect is 
one of grandeur, and is 
much admired. We can 
but show a small section 
of it above. The pillar 
in the foreground is 
draped with Japan Ivy 
{A mpelopsis Veitchii ) .
