HOUSE AND GARDEN 
April, 1911 
245 
“Bellefontaine,” Lenox, Mass.— 
the formal sunken type with the 
lily pool as a central feature 
An unusual example of the formal type, in that it is laid out on 
an open plain instead of having a frame of woods 
The formal bulb garden of spring. 
After blooming the bulbs give 
way to other bedding plants 
An inspiration for the beginner—a garden 
of annuals giving a mass of color from 
seed sown now, but you will have to do 
it all over next year 
The wild garden along the path through the 
woods. Rhododendrons line the flag walk 
and early spring bulbs are naturalized 
with the pansies around the flagstones 
TYPES OF 
FLOWER GARDENS 
The typical English “doorway garden,” 
where lawns are replaced by a tangle of 
perennials that bloom and increase from 
generation to generation 
A combination of rock and water garden that furnishes a home for 
all sorts of shy bog and Alpine plants 
A Japanese garden must have its winding stream, giving opportunity 
for bridge and stepping-stones, reflections and mystic symbolism
