intended to serve as the actual living por¬ 
tion of the garden. 
As supplementary adjuncts, large, or¬ 
namental pots of green or ivory-tinted 
ware containing bay trees or flowering 
shrubs are useful as architectural units. 
Placed at the corners and flanking the 
entrances to a terrace or paved area in 
the garden they suggest partition walls, 
define the extent of an outdoor room, 
and seem almost to bring the outdoors 
into the house. Not until several potted 
ornamental plants have been so placed 
does one realize how singularly beautiful 
and refreshingly cool the dull, rich green 
pots themselves can be, or how well they 
blend, yet contrast, with the varied fo¬ 
liage of the garden. Designs of classic 
simplicity and attractiveness are to be 
had to grace any landscape however re¬ 
stricted or extensive. 
Quaint Japanese garden accessories, 
bridges, arches, curiously carved dragons 
and other figures, cozy-corner seats and 
other ornamental conceptions, are best 
restricted to purely Japanese gardens, 
now much in favor as one of several 
isolated features of large grounds. More 
latitude in use may be accorded pagoda¬ 
shaped stone lanterns, which are much in 
vogue for out-of-the-way places, espe¬ 
cially in informally treated grounds, 
shrubbery corners and woodland glades. 
At dusk during garden parties they pre¬ 
sent a very pleasing effect when lighted, 
for they have diminutive oiled paper win¬ 
dows which give out a diffused, pictur¬ 
esque light in accord with the tranquil 
charm of the evening hour. These lights, 
seen through the trees here and there, 
combine with flowering plants to suggest 
a veritable fairyland. 
Coming now to the furniture of the 
actual living portion of terrace or gar¬ 
den, the tables, armchairs and settees 
must be of a sort easily moved about as 
desired, yet of sufficiently sturdy build to 
withstand any tendency to split on ex¬ 
posure to rain and sun. They may be 
entirely of wood after the English fash¬ 
ion, or with bent-iron frames, wood table 
tops and chair bottoms, after the style 
prevalent in Europe. Old English gar¬ 
den chairs, settees, garden houses, rose 
arbors, and the like, may be selected 
from a large number of stock styles of 
beautiful and varied design at moderate 
cost. Then, too, there are the charming 
little French and English lacquer tables 
and a great variety of chairs. Rustic and 
old hickory pieces may he used in in¬ 
formally treated gardens, especially under 
the shade of trees. 
In any case, the design should be in 
accord with the character of the house 
and garden, and the simpler the better. 
This applies with equal force to arbor 
seats, for the arbor portion is intended 
primarily as a support for vines. Teak 
or oak are probably the best woods to 
employ, although well-seasoned white 
pine or cypress are suitable if carefully 
and regularly painted. As this furniture
