HOUSE AND GARDEN 
139 
Steps and flanking pedestals for formal plants may 
easily be made from cement 
Even in the informal garden a marble is 
an effective foil for the shrubbery 
When the circular shelter is more luxuriantly covered 
with vines it will make an ideal resting spot 
An old Japanese lantern of wrought iron in 
Mr. Thomas W. Lawson’s garden 
A basin of marble or cement, in which the water 
is renewed by hand, attracts the birds 
Useful as well as ornamental is this graceful seat in 
brilliant contrast with its green background 
Reproductions in cement of old Italian 
fragments are not expensive 
Do not use a Japanese stone lantern unless you can 
give it a setting of curious rocks and dwarf trees
