A PLANTING of 
INFORMAL FORMALITY 
{Continued from page 50) 
yellow-wood; double scarlet thorn; 
pearl bush with its early emerald 
leaves; and hybrid lilacs with immense 
heavy trusses of white, pink and dark¬ 
est purple. The sturdy pink weigelia 
and bush honeysuckles were used to 
screen the street, affording little temp¬ 
tation to pilfering passersby. In front 
of these, pink flowering almonds and 
tulip Picotee stand forth above the 
dwarf yews; and nearby are the sweet 
pink clusters of the Korean viburnum. 
Later, the fragrance of the hybrid 
philadelphus, lemon lily, and Harrison’s 
Yellow rose is followed by the spicy 
pungent pepper bush in midsummer. 
Nor does the autumn lack interest, 
either of fruit or vivid foliage. Japa¬ 
nese barberry, Euonymus alatus, sorrel 
tree and bellflower (Enkianthus) all 
put on coats of red; blue berries on 
arrow-wood and turquoise vine, to¬ 
gether with white on the snowberry, 
attract the birds. 
To insure a restful effect, but few 
flowers were used in the composition. 
On the other side of the house the 
craving for color was indulged by a 
herbaceous border, but here a few 
very choice single peonies, a long drift 
of white foxglove, a single clump of 
lavender Japanese iris beside the pool, 
a pink mallow, with spikes of Lythrum 
roseum, were quite spectacular enough. 
It would have been following the 
accepted tenets of design to have the 
arbor “on the axis” of the turf panel, 
directly opposite the windows of the 
house. In this particular instance it is 
enjoyed more as arranged. As an ad¬ 
junct to the shady side of the garage 
it forms a more attractive shelter than 
it ever would have been, if set down 
amid newish shrubbery, facing the 
afternoon sun. The rustic poles are 
peeled of bark and painted white like 
the building, which is embellished by 
lattices and a door of brilliant emerald 
green, as are the Windsor bench 
chairs, and table. This door with its 
handwrought latch and hinges was 
salvaged from an old farmhouse. The 
threshold is an old millstone. Glazed 
pottery of mingled blues and greens, 
vines of delicate tracery like akebia, 
wild grape, turquoise berry, and canary 
creeper; gay cretonnes and other ac¬ 
cessories make of the arbor a colorful 
place. Until the piping for the pool 
can be arranged, a shallow dish offers 
refreshment to the birds. 
Since flagstones are practically un¬ 
obtainable in this locality concrete 
fragments from the old garage floor 
were used instead. Their humble 
origin is never suspected. In the 
crevices are the following well-tested 
plants—dwarf moss-like Sedum acre; 
Sempervivum (hen and chickens), 
Gypsophila cerastoides, with its tufted 
mats of white; and the tiny maiden 
pink, its tiny cerise blossoms and turf¬ 
like foliage triumphant under any 
amount of tramping. In the beds 
along the sides of the arbor are col¬ 
umbines, primroses, violets, ferns, 
Solomon’s seal, and lilies—all adapted 
to shade. 
Since it was not feasible to remove 
the driveway which lies between the 
house and this little informal garden, 
it was suffered to remain, though pref¬ 
erably there would be French win¬ 
dows, and a terrace next to the house.
