“This time I am going to proceed on 
an entirely different principle. You are 
going to work on the sketches and plans 
until I know they are just exactly what I 
want. I am going to study the specifica¬ 
tion with you very carefully and see that 
every detail and contingency is provided 
for. Every corner of the house is to be 
planned in detail before any work is done. 
When the excavation is started I am 
going off on a trip and will not return 
until you write me that the house is com¬ 
pleted and the keys are waiting to be used.” 
The Immediate Garden Treatment 
of a New House 
(Continued from page 39) 
Where there is not sufficient ground 
space to plant a screen, your permanent 
plan will of course call for some kind of 
structure as the screen’s beginning, this to 
be the support of vines which will complete 
its effectiveness. Such structures it is, of 
course, well to make permanent in the 
beginning; and right here I would like to 
say that lattices, arbors and trellises gen¬ 
erally are one of the crying needs of our 
gardens. We seem to have altogether 
forgotten how to divide and screen and 
seclude by means of these charming gar¬ 
den features — largely no doubt because of 
a blind belief in the necessity for leaving 
everything as much alone as possible, in 
order not to effect a diminution in ap¬ 
parent size. No garden was ever beauti¬ 
ful by size alone ; order and design are the 
primary factors rather than any accident 
of space or lack of it, in the final result. 
And very often division is more important 
to the sense of space than no division — 
will, indeed, create an illusion of space 
where space is very limited. 
So do not hesitate to introduce lattice 
and arbor and trellis wherever opportunity 
offers—without overdoing it, of course — 
and plant the permanent vines on these at 
once, as well as the temporary ones. Or 
perhaps you will elect to make the most 
of these features by training fruits upon 
them. In that event, set out the trees as 
soon as the spring season opens and be 
sure that your few temporary vines do not 
encroach upon them to the least degree 
during this first summer. 
Shade where no tree large enough to 
furnish shade will stand for a number of 
years is also well provided by light 
arbor work and temporary vines. House 
foundations are well clothed with the 
sweet Nicotiana, or with the low growing 
Helianthus nanus, U. pi., or with annual 
mallow, L<matera trimestris; and almost 
any flowery annual will furnish a good 
border to temper the sharp edge of grano¬ 
lithic walk. Of course, the flower garden 
itself, whatever its form, may be com¬ 
pletely made up of annuals this first sum¬ 
mer, and await its permanent habitants 
until fall. Meantime a seed bed should be 
made ready, along in midsummer; and the 
perennials which are to take the place of
