YOUR SUMMER IN A GARDEN 
T HE English do this much better than 
we—this living in a garden, but we are 
learning how—learning how to plant and 
furnish it so that most of our idle hours can 
be passed close to the soil and within reach 
of flowers. First this presupposes that you 
have a garden; then it presupposes that you 
love a garden enough to want to live in it. 
After that it means chairs and seats and 
striped awnings and tea tables beneath the 
trees and soft pillows out in sunny spots. 
The garden furnishing number is about those 
things. Those and a lot of o^her things. 
Grace Tabor writes of ros —a perennial 
subject of interest and enjoyment. Elizabeth 
Leonard Strang, another well-known land¬ 
scape architect, writes of making an orange 
and gray garden. Robert Lemmon talks about 
clipped privet and yew hedges, which are so 
requisite if one would live out of doors in 
privacy. Beside these three are considered city 
backyard gardens, the war garden for next 
winter (looking ahead to 1919 already!) and 
the June work in the vegetable trenches where 
you are helping to win the war over here. 
As a fillip to the taste comes a page of garden 
lamps and wellheads, and, of course, pages 
of the newest garden furniture. _ 
There are two houses in this issue. One is 
a shingled seashore cottage set on a high bluff, 
a house of comfortable interiors. The other 
is a little country house in stone designed by 
Grosvenor Atterbury. Only two houses this 
month because the next issue—July—is the 
Small House Number, when there will be 
houses galore—houses in stone and brick and 
stucco, cottages and bungalows and little 
homes for the suburbs and country. But these 
two are good examples of work by well-known 
architects. 
For the interior of the house there are 
mirrors and a page of color schemes, a re¬ 
markably beautiful apartment, a house in 
Chicago, the studio of Alma Gluck and the 
Little Portfolio of Good Interiors. There are 
other smaller contributions, but space permits 
mention of only the head liners. These com¬ 
bine into an issue of great diversity of in¬ 
terest, a June number that will exceed in 
practical suggestions any that have gone before. 
One of the landscaping pictures 
in the June number shows 
Lombardy poplars well used.
