A rch itectura l Garden ing— VIII.
the living room and ver-
andah and the higher
portions of the garden in
front of the cottage.
The drawing on page
19 illustrates a portion
of a design for a Suffolk
house. In plan this
garden entrance is rather
more than half an octa-
gon, as the width of the
central arch is repeated
on each side between the
elliptical lunettes and
the face of the wall. In
this way three pleasant
vistas are obtained, those
on each side looking
down the length of the
narrow terrace bordered
with flowers and placed
next the low wall which
shows on either side of
the porch. This porch
also serves the additional
and useful purpose of a
room for out-of-door
meals. In the foreground
of the drawing the con-
verging lines of the wall
and steps form a part of
the semicircular feature
of the formal garden
placed on the central
axial line of the porch.
The second drawing on
page 20 also belongs to
this scheme.
A PORCH AND TERRACE
DESIGNED AND DRAWN BY F. L. GRIGGS
Another method of obtaining the same advan-
tage to a house and garden afforded by a garden
room or loggia is shown on page 20, where the
gable has been extended to form the roof of the
loggia, which in plan adjoins the dining room and
also communicates with a serving room common
to both.
The plan on page 21 shows a large and com-
plete scheme of house and garden design on a
site of about 50 acres which is to be devoted
mainly to flower and fruit culture. Two attractive
features of the site are existing disused stone
quarries which have been incorporated in the
about three-fourths of which will be devoted to wild
garden and the remainder about equally divided
between the water and rock gardens. The centre
path shown in the sketch is directly connected
with a footpath, following the natural levels of the
land, and leading to the wood which is on the right
hand looking towards the cottage. On the other
side, to the left, the site falls gently to the north-
west, and at the bottom of it is another small wood
or spinney which will adjoin the kitchen garden
and be entered from an orchard. The tennis
lawn is on higher ground and nearer to the cottage,
and so placed in relation to. the view that it forms
the necessary simple
effect of foreground to it
as it will be seen from
