HOUSE AND GARDEN 
October, ig

Mr. Parrish does not have a house and a garden—the two are so 
closely woven together as a home that it is hard to tell where 
one stops and the other begins 
New Hampshire’s season of outdoor gardening is none too long, 
so that Mr. Parrish finds necessary his greenhouse, in which to 
secure flowers for the rest of the year 
Where house and garden blend to¬ 
gether—a path leading from the 
living quarters indoors to the liv¬ 
ing quarters among the flowers 
THE GARDEN OF 
MR. STEPHEN PARRISH 
CORNISH 
NEW HAMPSHIRE 
A simple cement pool with water lilies interrupts 
the main garden path near the house 
There is nothing formal, stiff or con¬ 
ventional about the Parrish home¬ 
stead; it has grown naturally from 
the needs of its occupants 
There is a very helpful hint for other amateur gardeners in Mr. 
Parrish’s method of dividing flower beds from the paths by the 
use of boards 
A flight of stone steps leading down from the hillside, in which 
may be found a most interesting example of good craftsman¬ 
ship in masonry
