House & Garden 
Northend 
Small gardens, especial¬ 
ly those intimately con¬ 
nected with the house, 
are coming more and. 
more into javor. This 
one is close enough to 
the house so that the 
living room windows 
overlook the vividly 
colored picture of 
blending flowers 
In this tiny plot a wind 
break is provided by a 
high brick wall on one 
side, the house on 
another and a privet 
hedge on the third. 
Back of the wall are 
planted Lombardy 
poplars. The flowers are 
planted in beds around 
a central sundial 
Advantage is taken of 
the view. The curve of 
the shore around the 
bay and the distant 
stretch of sea are com¬ 
manded by this broad 
brick walk beside the 
house. It breaks the 
hedge on the shore side 
and opens up the gar¬ 
den’s vista
