Young Pan marks the crossing of the paths

N O ji;ardeii can lie so well beloved as one 
which is set upon a hillside, and no other 
form of garden gives such great rewards. Di- 
rectl}’ we are able to secure different levels in 
our garden, direct!}’ we can begin to look down 
on our flower paths and up to them—to turn 
a corner and find the land fallen away from 
our feet with our eyes plunging into a long 
valley-vista, or to turn another and find all 
distance obscured bv the rise of the hill. \\’hen 
The floor of the upper terrace is 
paved with old stones set on edge, 
low walls of the stone marking 
out the beds 
The 
GARDEN 
of 
LEVELS 
MRS. GEORGE CRAN 
Rose arches cut down to elbow 
height give a good view of the 
blooms 
The upper level is held in place by a rein¬ 
forced concrete wall wired for vines and 
flanked by a tulip border 
we have these we have secured mystery anef 
imagination to lay a hand of magic on all our 
gardening. 
Fate gave me a garden on the sunny slope 
of a steep hill before I knew enough of sites 
to appreciate what I had. I only found out 
after I had fallen deeply under the spell of 
gardening and had cultivated a habit of going 
any distance at any time to see other people’s.
