NORTH SHORE: BREEZE and Reminder 13 
This should be treated with landscape effects—as for 
instance, a rustic bridge is sometimes thrown even over 
grassland, but if in connection with a lily pond or a large 
water garden, it is of course much more attractive. A 
hollow ravine, where climbing roses and luxuriant vines 
flourish, is never out of place. 
Rambler roses, yellow, white or crimson, are always 
useful for covering entrances. The old prairie rose, with 
its wealth of bloom, lasting until other roses have faded, 
is always satisfactory. Of the newer varieties, the Doro- 
thy Perkins is a strong grower, and is a good rose for 
color scheme, with its delicate, yet deep pink coloring. 
An old and standard variety, with blush pink coloring, 
is the Baltimore Belle. This, can be relied upon to give 
good satisfaction. 
The Wisteria and the Trumpet creeper for decorative 
purposes should always be planted together. ‘There is 
a dreamy, poetic charm about the one and a glowing, 
fervent beauty surrounding the other. This makes them 
fitting mates for an archway; they are both perfectly 
hardy and when planted together form a fine combination 
of ccloring. 
Entrances might be said to be of four kinds,—a regu- 
lation gate, either of wood or iron, an arbor, a summer 
house, which acts as portal, or a bridge. Small wooden 
gates hung on wooden or brick piers, are hard to improve 
upon. For wood used for entrance purposes, the most 
expensive is the white pine. The cypress and redwood 
are close seconds. Boston Ivy, which is very hardy, is a 
good climber, also the honeysuckle, of which Hall’s Japan- 
ese variety is advisable. The Dutchman’s pipe, and the 
Moonseed, which has in the fall moon-shaped seeds, are 
also effective. 
Stone piers can be built and the cost of these, in- 
cluding the gate, can be made as low as thirty dollars. 
After a few years growth of vines, it is covered so com- 
pletely that it makes little difference what the frame- 
work is, 
Too little attention is given to this subject. We are 
absorbed with the planting, and we lose sight of this 
touch of distinction. It is a far cry from the charming 
colonial gateways which partake in character of the sever- 
ity of early New England architecture to those of the 
present day. Therefore, by all means, see to it that your 
garden is properly entered, for it is as a front door to 
the garden itself, giving to it an individuality and a privacy, 
and serving often as a windbreak to shield the delicate 
plants within. 
Cape Ann as a Tourists’ Haven 
‘‘Around the Cape’”’ by Trolley—An Enjoyable Trip 
BY W. LESTER STEVENS 
A UrHOUGH it is primarily the sea which attracts the 
‘summer visitors to Cape Ann, yet there is other beauty 
no less than that of the ocean. Indeed the variety of 
nature here could not be: duplicated at any summer re- 
sort on the entire coast. Not only does the tranquil calm 
or the tumultuous force of the ocean make an ever-chang- 
ing picture from day to day. On land the variety is no 
less. In a half hour’s time we may tramp over rocky 
moors, through fertile fields, quiet woods and boggy marsh- 
land. and at the end emerge into streets and lanes. as 
quaint as parts of the old world. Thus the exploration 
of Cape Ann in search of new beauty is an inexhaustible 
hunt. 
Presumably the prospective summer resident, during 
the winter months, and more especially since deciding to 
spend the summer at the North Shore, has been making 
a study of the place and its environs. If so he or she 
has already formed an impression which must either 
be enlarged or completely altered. And so upon arriving 
the first necessity is to create new impression or to am- 
plify the old ones. 
Before attempting then, to search for any particu- 
lar spot or spots of beauty perhaps it would be wiser to 
get a general conception of what the larger aspect of 
Cape Ann is, its topography its immediate environs. In 
no way can this be better done than by an electric car 
ride “around the cape,” except possibly by a walk around 
the coast or a sail around the cape and through the Squam 
river. “fs 
Today we will take a car at the waiting station 
in Gloucester and circuit the Cape going first to Rock- 
port, thence to Lanesville, Annisquam, Riverdale and 
back to Gloucester. 
The first thing which particularly attracts our atten- 
tion is a view of the harbor of Gloucester from Lufkin’s 
Hill or the “Head of the Harbor,” so-called. We catch 
but a passing glance but it serves to whet our curiosity 
to such a point that we determine to visit at no late date 
the various places along the water front and learn by 
what process the fish are prepared for the market. 
A short ride brings us to a “turn out” where we 
wait for the car from Rockport to pass. While waiting 
we notice that across the marshes, but a half mile away, 
is. the ocean. How blue it looks and how lazily the 
craft seem to* move over its surface. Brief as is our 
glimpse it arouses a determination to spend a day in fol- 
lowing the shore. 
We pass through quiet woods past the Beaver dam 
farm and reach the top of Great Hill. From here, stretch- 
ing for miles, is seen a horizon of ocean dotted with sail,
