Abstract
AN old wall sheltering such plants as are accommodating enough to grow in such a situation is often a delight; but to undertake the formation of a “stone-garden” in the way suggested by the author is to run counter to all our notions of the amenity and purpose of a garden. Various “designs” are offered for adoption, such as a lyre-shaped outline made of paving stones with flower-beds representing the strings, and separated by narrow strips of stone.
