STONE AND BRICK 
GARDEN CRAFT 
Garden Masonry is a very definite craft. To do it 
well, the craftsman must have special training 
which gives him a sympathetic feeling for garden- 
ing. His work must be neat but the lines must be 
softened to blend with natural surroundings. When 
working with weathered ledge stone, he must know 
how to simulate natural limestone ledges and allow 
for the proper growth of plants among them. Walks 
and terrace pavings must be smooth enough to 
serve their purposes but appear rugged. Patterns 
and scale must be well chosen. Walls must per- 
form their function and be proof against washing 
out. Success in all these things requires special 
knowledge and skill. 
The accompanying illustrations show only a few — 
of the many styles of work completed by Swain : se en 
Nelson masons. Stone and brick in varieties and 4 
patterns best suited to your landscape, will be suc- 
cessfully used if the work is in the hands of these men.
