NORTH SHORE GARDENS

Carrara marble, centuries old,  as- 
cends to a graveled space from which 
other paths fork. The fountain rises 
from a circular basin surrounded by 
a narrow curbing, outlined in part 
by dwarf nasturtiums. This basin is 
filled with blossoming aquatics of 
soft coloring and delicate fragrance. 
Goldfish dart to and fro. The foun- 
tain itself is composed of a group of 
dolphins, supported upon their 
twisted tails, which extend upward 
to form a shallow shell, from the 
center of which another dolphin 
rises, topped with a figure of Nep- 
tune with poised trident. Water 
falls to the lower pool in graceful 
jets from the dolphins’ nostrils. 
LIMIT 
; 
The formal garden beds lie just 
below this fountain. They are di- 
vided into four equal areas by the 
main paths, which intersect at the 
sundial, which stands upon a fluted 
antique pedestal. The four beds are 
planted each year with a different 
color scheme. 
On the estate of Mr. Francis Mere- 
dith Whitehouse, at aMnchester-by- 
the-Sea, there is a wholly charming 
English garden, whose simple lay- 
out is in striking contrast to its 
more formal neighbors. It is walled 
in, and entered by means of an or- 
namental iron gate, with a clipped 
bay tree at each side. 
The beds are edged with box, and 
the paths are graveled. No marble

the garden’s floral treasures, yet. the 
dainty plots lose nothing by the 
omission, but rather take on an 
added charm for lack of imposing, 
artificial environment. Dainty blue- 
bells, sturdy holly-hocks, stately 
lies, soft-tinted roses, and many a 
quaint, sweet-scented posy such as 
decked our grandmothers’ gardens, 
thrive famously in these box-bord- 
ered beds and form a setting for the 
central pool. This les in the center.

(Pictures taken 
There is endless variety about 
these North Shore gardens. No two 
are alike. They always’ escape 
monotony, and make their different 
appeals to the eye by some new pre- 
sentation of facts as old as the uni- 
verse. Always they are charming. 
Always their colors are fervent and 
vivid from the kiss of the ozone 
borne upon the salt sea air. Even 
the wild flowers deepen their tints 
in this atmosphere, and there can be 
no doubt that it has its effect upon 
the North Shore gardens. 
Exposition Architecture. 
It might seem as if all the changes 
had been rung on exposition archi- 
tecture—the domes, pinnacles, min- 
arettes, towers and belfreys of past 
show palaces. But San Diego has 
found a new style for this purpose, 
and one particularly appropriate 
and pleasing because it is the one 
which the Mission Fathers intro- 
duced into the New World. San 
Diego will use an adaptation of this, 
ealled by the architects the Mission 
Renaissance. All of the buildings 
will be in this style, and all of them 
will be permanent, nd will remain 
in Balboa Park for the benefit of 
future generations.
