House & Garden 
THE GARDENS of 
CHARLES HARDING, Esq 
DEDHAM, MASSACHUSETTS 
Dividing the rose garden from the 
sunken garden and lily pool is a 
loggia overgrown with Farquhar 
and Dawson roses. This is fin¬ 
ished in black and white with lan¬ 
terns at the entrance and inside. 
The green lattice walls of this gar¬ 
den correspond to the lattice dec¬ 
oration on the brick walls of the 
house. Thus is unity given 
Lilies with their cup-like blossoms grow 
in abundance all through the summer. 
Architecturally placed at one side of 
the inner path, this pool serves as a 
terminus of the cross axis of the garden. 
Bas-reliefs let into the walls and bay 
trees set in white pots on the wall give 
a foreign touch to this bit of garden 
The garden is laid out in two 
parts: the enclosed rose garden 
which is shown below and the 
lower reaches extending down to¬ 
ward the river, pictured above. 
Interesting architectural features 
are placed here and there. It is a 
garden of perpetual bloom. From 
spring until fall it runs the gamut 
from hyacinths to chrysanthemums
