“ Wall and Water Gardens ” 
is dominated by that good sense that shows 
from cover to cover. 
As befits a magazine devoted primarily to 
architecture, our illustrations are selected 
from those that include buildings, but the 
book contains many of equal beauty devoted 
to such subjects as wall or water plants in 
blossom (and among these our common wild 
turkey-beard in perfection) tangles of bloom 
on old walls with great fern beds at the foot, 
the iris standing in water as it grows in 
Japan, streams and pools with the planting 
at their edges, and groups of great trees by 
the water’s margin.
