HOUSE & GARDEN 
THE GARDEN AT “KRISHEIM,” RESIDENCE OF 
DR. GEORGE WOODWARD, ST. MARTINS, PHILADELPHIA 
OLMSTED BROTHERS , Landscape Architects 
It is remarkable ichat a 
touch of thick thatch and 
loistaria will do to give the 
garden a feeling of old Jap¬ 
an—not a mere adapted feel¬ 
ing, but the real genus of 
the flowery kingdom gardens 
Some day American garden¬ 
ers will learn the beauty 
that lies in the dogwood 
tree and will use more of it 
in their gardens. Here it 
lightens the darker trees and 
gives a bit of rare charm 
The recessed pergola stands 
on the right of the house, 
shown opposite, its rear icall 
being a continuation of the 
house wall. This view is 
what one sees looking along 
the cross axis of the garden
