THREE TYPES 
of GARDENS 
WILLIAM PITKIN, Jr. 
Landscape Architect 
The herbaceous border is a 
perpetual delight, when it is 
planted with a definite color 
succession in mind. It is best 
placed in front of tall shrub¬ 
bery or trees that will give 
the flowers a background. 
Such is this border on the 
estate of J. K. Secor at To¬ 
ledo, 0. 
Many elements contribute to 
the charm of this pool in the 
garden of J. J. Gilbert at 
Little Falls, N. V.,-—the brick 
wall and fountain, the oblong 
pool, the brick pavement set 
in wide grass bond, the over¬ 
arching trees. The architec¬ 
ture and green growing things 
are nicely blended
