SMALL HOUSES IN JULY 
T he small house is a problem all by 
itself. It is not merely a small repro¬ 
duction of a large house. It has its 
own architecture. Consequently good 
small houses are not so common as one 
might suppose. But in this July number 
there are at least three that have the dis¬ 
tinction of individual merit. 
The first is a stone house of real Dutch 
Colonial design, with a sweeping roof. 
The dining room has been dispensed with 
and the family have a combined living and 
dining room. It was designed by Frank J. 
Forster. The second is a New England 
farmhouse type in clapboard and shingles, 
with a simple, livable plan, designed to 
meet the requirements of a small family. 
The third is a cottage especially designed 
and furnished for House & Garden. It is 
a sort of dream-book house that can be 
both built and furnished for a reasonable 
Of further interest to small house 
builders is the article on the bedroom, choicely 
furnished-with articles that come at moderate 
prices. Also there is the article by Elizabeth 
A Dutch Colonial house, with 
sweeping roof, in the July issue 
Leonard Strang on the garden for the small 
house—three types of gardens to cost not more 
than $100 each, including heavy labor. 
From Prof. Traquair’s article on French- 
Canadian cottage architecture can be 
gathered endless suggestions for the small 
house; and the sketches of an Italian sort 
of house, designed by W. R. Bajari, show 
a simple plan that is effective. And then, 
for the man who wants to study a hard 
problem, comes “Plumbing in the Small 
House,” by the engineer who designed the 
plumbing in the government community 
homes. If a garage is contemplated, you 
may find some suggestions in the two de¬ 
signs in this issue. In fact, there never was 
a number of House & Garden so filled 
with practical and stimulating suggestions 
for the reader who is about to build. 
The other subjects include peonies, the 
use of decorative panels, placing the desk, 
pots and pans, Indian art for the collector, 
and the new designs in handwrought hard¬ 
ware. 
Finally, you may have heard of the Gov¬ 
ernment embargo against the importation 
of certain plants. F. F. Rockwell tells you 
what to substitute, in an article on American 
grown stock for America.
