Residence of Mr. Thomas Mills, Cynwyd, Pa. 
A Wild Garden Instead of a Barren Front Lawn 
"pHIS lawn was too shady to produce grass, so the 
terrace was muddy and eroded by too frequent 
rains in spring and baked or dusty in summer. Huge 
rocks in a natural ledge, moss, ferns, native shrubs, 
and wild flowers transformed the entire lawn into a 
cool spot of rare beauty with a succession of bloom 
throughout the entire season. The Dutchman's 
Breeches are scarcely over before the Mertensia ap¬ 
pears, and then the Trillium, Laurel, Rhododendron, 
Azalia, and finally Lobelia come in a joyful suc¬ 
cession.
