Architectural Gardening— VIII.
This south-west aspect
is one of the most desir-
able in our English
climate, particularly if
some rays of the morning
sun can be coaxed into
the living room and bed-
rooms by some such
device as the bay window
shown in the centre of
the sketch. Here it is
arranged for that purpose
as well as for the addi-
tional advantage it gives
of extra space to the
house with extended gable r

and very interesting fea-

north-west, and as that is certainly not one of the middle to a large pool. This wood has of
the best of aspects, the long side of the cottage course been brought into the general scheme of the
