HOUSE AND GARDEN

A House That Was Built on a Hillside

New York City.-Whether the archi.
tect or the landscape gardener should
supply the plans for the garden of the
new house is one of the questions
raised during the recent revival of in
terest in gardens. AS rule. the
formal rocco gardens are much less in
teresting to the average owner of
country estate than the less formal
kind, since they are out of place ex-
cept in connection with elaborate
houses.
Even the smallest garden of the reg
ular rocco style requires also house
of some architectural pretensions be-
longing to the same period as the gar
den. Illustrations of the incongru-
ity arising from failure to OBJ
serve this rule are seen in many coun-
try houses to which the owners with
more recklessness than taste have add
ed formal rose gardens. When these
houses are plain white colonial struc-
lures the incongruity is particularly
disturbing.
When the garden is far away from
the house the case is different. 1t is
when the garden is regarded as part
of the house that uniformity between
them is most important, even essen

a striking idea of the extent to which
architectural means may legitimately
be used in small garden.
The house is situated in the Rhine
country in Germany. 1t is built on
the side of a steep hill commanding
a beautiful view over the valley to the
mountains lying on the other side.
The garden terrace is on level with
the house.

! at the end of the garden are also archi-
tectural necessities, since the ter
race ends here.
The proximity of the garden to the
house has made 1t necessary for the
architect to treat 1t as a continuation
of the dwelling. So the lattices for the
vines against the wall, the arbor the
benches. all these carry out the color
scheme OF the house. On the top
OF the upper terrace is the kitchen
garden.
Here the architectural treatment is
of a wholly different kind from that
demanded in the rocco garden. There
are 10 straight paths. no evergreens
cut into the form of chickens or less
easily identified animals. The only
solution OF the problem of garden
perched on the side of steep hill was
through its architectural design.
Such a garden bears almost as close
relation to architecture as the house
itself 1t is the skill of the gardener
combined with that of the architect
that brought about SO interesting a
detail as the foundation and pool
standing under the silver poplar tree.
1t Is 1mprODaDle tnat ueSlBn with
its details so closely related as are
the details of this house and garden
should be the work of more than one
hand. The situation is different In the
case OF the average country house. and
the New York architect who puts up
country house does no more than
settle on the general plan of the
garden-what position It is to hold
in relation to the house. what its size
should be and something about its
general character. Even his decision
on these points is likely to be In the
nature OF a suggestion. for the land
scape gardener is the final authority.
Some New York architects have
certain gardeners who do all their
work and cooperate with them on
plans. Yet in this case the architect
assumes no responsibility for the
work, allowing the practical gardener
to have all the credit as well as the
blame In case the owner is not pleased.

ILLEGAL FISHING CONTINUES.
Clear Lake Law Violators Boast Of
Their Catches.

Mason City, June 2.-It is evident
that if the stories that are going the
rounds at Clear Lake are true that
illegal fishing is still being done there
in spite of the fact that the recent
visit of Fish Commissioner Green OF
Sioux City frightened most of the. law
breakers and that now since the sea-
son is open a man must be very bad
indeed to violate the laws. The state
law says that no one shall catch more
than forty game fish in one day. 1t
is asserted at Clear Lake that pair
of Ventura fishermen have boosted
for the past week that since the sea-
son has opened they have never caught
less than ninety-six fish in one day
and that several times their daily haul
has been over 200.
Fish Commissioner Green will re-
turn to this vicinity Immediately af-
ter the primaries to be present at the
proceedings against Fred Green and
he will undoubtedly look into the
case Of these Ventura men who have
so openly and persistently violated
the state fish laws.
