O THE garden lover, there can be no more called ‘‘ten acres of pictures. During the summer 
interesting spot than the grounds which won, 
GB) last season, the H. H. Hunnewell triennial 
premium of one hundred and sixty dollars, 
offered ‘‘for an estate of not less than three acres 
which shall be laid out with the most taste, planted 
most judiciously, and kept in the best order for three 
consecutive years.’’ 
The successful garden comprises ten acres on the 
estate of George E. Barnard, in Ipswich, landse raped by 
John E. Critchley, under whose direct supervision the 
work was executed. 
The present degree of perfection is the more no- 
ticeable from the fact that so few years have elapsed

since Mr. Barnard bought the estate; and at the time 
of purchase, the grounds at one side of the house were 
steep slopes covered with grass, with a few old apple 
trees and no shrubbery even on the side next the high- 
way The more remote portion, where now is located 
the lower garden, was unreclaimed marsh land, whose 
‘unk burden of sedge grass is the only vegetation found 
or flats covered by the tides at stated intervals. 
The plain and simple farmhouse, except for the 
addition of verandas, shows no change externally; but 
the interior has been wholly remodelled, and made into 
one of the most charming all-the-year-round homes in 
the section. 
The land surface has been as completely changed, 
the steep hillside being graded into a gradual slope, 
ard thus furnishing material to fill up the marshland 
below. The new levels thus aequired have been so 
earefully landscaped that the garden has well been

season, there is no spot upon the grounds or verandas 
where the visitor does not find, laid out before him, 
an exquisite series of flower pictures, so carefully ar- 
ranged as to show not one discordant note. 
In order to effect a color scheme so harmonious, 
great skill and patience must be added to a thorough 
knowledge of garden plants, and of the results to be 
obtained from standard named varieties, when combined 
with careful planning as to contrast in color, varying 
heights, and time of blossoming. 
Even after the reduction of the twelve-foot terrace 
te natural grade, and the raising of the marsh land 
several feet, there is still a difference in level which

divides the grounds naturally into two gardens of 
nearly equal area. The upper garden lies to the north 
of the house, is practically on the same level as the 
buildings, and extends to the highway. The lower 
garden les to the west of the house, stretching to the 
very banks of the Ipswich River which in this part of 
its course is so near the ocean as to be a tidal stream, 
aid whose borders are pleasingly decorated with clumps 
of graceful white birches and fine old willows. 
The upper garden, which hes about the house, has 
the uneven surface beloved of landscape gardeners. It 
consists mainly of a herbaceous border about eight 
hundred feet long, surrounding well-kept lawns, and 
beeked by shrubbery. This border terminates in two 
circles, each twenty-five feet in diameter, which form a 
wide entrance for an upland summer house. There are 
in all five of these rustic summer houses upon the place, 
cctted here and there, in both gardens.
