FASHIONED INTO GARDEN HIGHLIGHTS 
The focal points of interest and the accessories are 
usually made of wood, stone or brick. It is only 
when these necessary features are installed that a 
garden becomes complete. 
Wood—either painted white or in rustic form— 
is readily utilized for seats, arbors, fences, gates 
and many other purposes. The design and con- 
struction of these pieces will often determine the 
success of the garden. They should be carefully 
considered, and enough of them used to give sharp 
contrast to the growing plants. Whether they should 
be simple or elaborate, heavy or light, conventional 
or modern, are matters which are best decided by 
the garden designer. 
Stone and brick are used in garden construction 
for paths, steps, walls, foundations and other pur- 
poses of utility and interest. Such features should 
be used only if they have the qualities of use or 
beauty. 
Pictured on these pages are a few garden fea- 
tures which have been designed by Swain Nelson 
Landscape Architects. It might be well to consult 
one of these men when selecting furnishings for 
your garden.
