House bf Garden 
Mrs. Horace . 1 . Sak's garden at Elberon, N. J 
might he called a concentric garden. Its out¬ 
side wall is shrubbery, then comes a circular 
herbaceous border. This is rimmed by a turf 
path which ends when the circular rose bed is 
reached. For background the roses have a low 
hedge clipped into occasional accent points. 
Another band of turf and then the circular pool 
A turf ramp and gradual steps lead from the 
garden to the level of the house, forming the 
main axis of the design. There is also a cross 
path, terminating in the simple seat set against 
the shrubbery, as shown in the photograph above. 
A peaceful garden, this, enclosed, full of color, 
easy to the eye and yet contaming in its bounds 
a great variety of flowers and shrubs 
From this peaceful garden the loay 
leads out to the world through a 
wooden gate of simple and ade¬ 
quate design. Flowers on each side 
furnish a last glimpse of color, 
and the pa'h is soft to the feet as 
only a turf path can be. Elsa

signer of the gate
