House and Garden 
ELEVATION LOOKING TOWARD THE STREET 
garden proper was further developed. This was 
attained by means ot low, vine-covered lattices at the 
sides, higher lattices further hack as shown on the 
plan, with transition in design secured by means of 
long flower boxes on the floor. Painted box caps 
were placed on the unused chimneys, to be removed 
out ot season, and these chimneys were further con¬ 
cealed by light trellises. The garden consisted of a 
long, and necessarily shallow pool, placed on the 
longitudinal axis, and as this was directly over an 
excellent head of water below, it was suggested that a 
small fountain, controlled by a valve, he allowed to 
play at will among aquatic plants, artificial or other¬ 
wise. The pool was bordered by low flower boxes 
at the corners. On each side of this were pergolas, 
constructed in a way more or less dictated by condi¬ 
tions and requirements on the roof. The parapet in 
the front was so adapted that it seemed natural to 
rest the end of the pergolas upon half-length columns, 
of a decorative motive, to be seen from the street. 
The other posts consisted of simple rectangular boxes 
with plain moulded caps and bases, so constructed 
that a zinc lined flower box of considerable cubic 
contents was let in at the top. This provided for an 
immediate growth of vines on the rafters, in addition 
to the vines planted in the flower boxes at the
