REPRODUCING THE GARDEN 243 
Spanish Garden 
Characterized in design by a general conformity to 
outer boundaries; by a lack of careful balance although 
generally symmetrical; by a lack of exactness in di¬ 
visions intended to be identical, etc. Its dividing lines 
are likely to cut all the way across it, without reason; 
see, for example, the line which separates the house 
from the garden in the Governor’s place at St. Augus¬ 
tine—a line doubtless which marks a demarcation be¬ 
tween pavement and grass. “Courts” before door¬ 
ways, and all walks are paved with round, even, care¬ 
fully selected stones or with stones and shells, and 
fancy forms are frequently introduced in these pave¬ 
ments, one color stone being inlaid within another to 
form them. A high wall incloses the entire garden 
area and attaches it to the house. This type of garden 
is especially suited to town or small suburban places, 
although it may be developed on large grounds as 
well.
