One of the real old-time gardens. The small beds, each with but 
one kind of flowers, are framed primly with box 
Although thatched roofs are unsanitary on our houses their pic¬ 
turesqueness may be preserved in the rustic summer house 
Where porch space is at a premium the detached arbor with a paved floor and low wall 
is a successful substitute

The pergola is too seldom seen well clothed with 
vines. Uprights and beams are of locust 
No garden is complete without its private nook. The semi-circular white 
bench gives many varying views over the garden 
The lily-pool finds no more appropriate edging than the bank of 
iris, which is always at its best near water
