A rchitextural Gardening.—X.
with a glade on the eastern side, through which the
stream now runs in its old natural state.
The materials of which this alcove are to be
built are thin 2-inch red bricks for the quoins and
niches, the base, cornice, and piers, and Roman
tiles between the quoins and keystones of the three
niches. These three niches are to be filled with
lead figures of Pan in the centre, and Ceres and
Flora on each side. The two vases on the top of
each pier will also be of lead.
The stone sundial, of simple and inexpensive
design, shown by the sketch below, marks the
intersection of two long straight stone-flagged and
brick-paved paths in a flower garden of formal
design. Its unpretentious character is sufficiently
illustrated in the sketch and any further descrip-
tion is superfluous.
The design illustrated by the perspective view on
page 200, and the plan on the same page, is for
the combination of two garden stores and a pigeon
house in one building. This suggestion is made
plan of alcove and pool illustrated
on the opposite page
intersected by a simple geometrical
pattern of narrow waterways, in which
suitable varieties of water plants are
to form the colour decoration of the
garden, on the simple setting of green
grass and grey stone.
In the centre of the west side of the
garden are the alcove and pool shown
in the drawing, and which serve to
convey the water from the brook in
the wood behind, from three outlets
(which would be decorated by heads
of beaten metal as the sketch indi-
cates), first into the pool, and then
by the three channels into a long and
narrow pond in the centre of the plot,
and by similar channels across to a
circular pool on the opposite side of
the garden. From this pool the water
is taken in quite tiny open channels
around all the beds of the rose garden,
which connects this open green plot sundial, designed and drawn by c. e. mallows, f.r.i.b.a.
