Editor’s Note: From time to time House & Garden will reproduce photo graphs submitted by enthusiastic gardeners who have felt that the instruction 
contained in the magazine, replies to queries, and the inspiration of others’ work, have been beneficial in giving them results. There is much that may 
be gained by noticing what others have done. Miss Tabor will supply criticism and explanation, making the photographs more helpful. 
T HE garden above was 
grown in a soil of clay 
and hardpan. Only the 
most carefully thought out 
scheme could have accom¬ 
plished the results here 
shown—and within one 
year from planting. The 
pergola columns are made 
of three sections of con¬ 
crete drain pipe, reinforced 
with an iron rod and 
poured full of concrete to 
make them solid. The 
whole structure, with its 
framework of rough sap¬ 
lings overhead, is particu¬ 
larly fine, conforming as it 
does to the best standards 
and the earliest tradition. 
A CHARMING door- 
yard garden of the 
middle west, shielded and 
secluded and therefore in¬ 
viting to use and repose— 
which the true garden al¬ 
ways should be. It seems al¬ 
most hypercritical to object 
to the planting around the 
fountain rim, yet the omis¬ 
sion of this would be a de¬ 
cided improvement. This 
fountain basin is a formal 
one and its lines are as 
much a part of its decora¬ 
tive function as the little 
figure above, or the water 
itself. Some creeping plant 
that would not conceal them 
might be used. 
The three pictures above show what has been accomplished by one garden lover in making a garden living-room secluded from the street and 
with all the privacy of indoors
