"The rose that lives its little hour 
Is prized above the sculptured 
flower.”

Ot 
hen the lilacs shed their first faint fragrance on the air, the early 
climbing roses (as if to serve a challenge) shower their branches with delicate 
blossoms. In moonlight yellow they come, or golden saffron and rose. Quite 
in line with the vogue for white, there are pearly petaled varieties. And no 
scarlet could be more vivid than certain of these prolific bloomers. 
Before the climbers have finished their jubilee, the monthly bloomers are 
out in full array for the June celebration. Could anything be lovelier than the 
Rose Season at its height? Faithfully they continue to blossom throughout the 
summer and late into the fall. Small wonder, then, that roses are the best beloved 
of all garden flowers!

A quiet pool, a trickling stream or fountain—any kind of water garden 
adds immeasurable beauty to the landscape if properly designed and 
treated. It fills the garden with an atmosphere of refreshing coolness and con¬ 
tentment, and creates a small world of peace and repose. 
Water gardens are relatively simple to construct, but require careful planning 
in order to settle them comfortably in the landscape, like congenial members 
of the family. Delightfully informal naturalistic effects may be achieved, or 
the most stately elegance be introduced through intelligent and artistic arrange¬ 
ment.
