CIATIPENS FOR LIMITED AREAS
Sizes does not limit a garden'H
beauty. However small the space
oij unfavorable the location nt the
innpunui ui an earnest .garaener,
someining can no - grown there
which will give pleasure.
The small garden often calls for
a greater effort to produce an ar
tistic and attractive result, just
as in the furnishing and decora
tion. of a small room in the house,
wo take more care in each detail
of the effect. When successful we
are repaid by the small garden,
ns by the little room, with un, inti,
mpey nnd association not always
felt In more spacious surroundings.
Everything Is seen closely In tho
smnll garden. A single plant or
flower' becomes the subject " of at-i
: tehtion rather than the mass of
the border. More enro must., he
taken to remove minor Inperfec
tlonn, but there is less for jvhioh.to
care. Color schemes mqy more
easily be handled and close atten
tion to color will he well ropaid
, here. . ., t.
pots, seats, and ornaments be
come of great Importance In the
small garden. It Is important to
keep them In scale. An pyerslze
ornament will dwarf the garden,
proportion must be carefully con
sidered In every detail of design.
It Is not always possible to. grow
grass In small gardens. Jlut areas
paved with flagstones, brick or othi
er suitable surfacing may still he
gardens. Many plants will thrive
where grass refuses to do so. And
where the soil conditions refuse
to allow plants to be set In the
ground they run' be grown in pots
nr, tubs. Adverse conditions can
Usually be overcome, v , r
Small gardens have the sanction
of antiquity. Mnny homes of an
cient Pompeii had tiny court gar
dens. A description has survived
in which It is said : "Sometimes ,a
mere tablecloth of free ground Is
so disposed." showing that where
there Is love for a garden, almost
no plot Is too small for its expres
sion, .t
