HOUSE AND GARDEN
ARCHITECTURAL PROBLEM AS
SOLVED IN GERMANY.
A House That Was Built on a Hillside
and a Garden Laid Out to Match
It, with Similar Details
in Both.

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
teresung to the average owner of a
country estate han the less formal
kind, since .hzy ere out of place ex-
cept in COM ection with elaborate
houses.
Even the Smallest garden of the reg.
ular rocco style requires also a 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 Fecklessness 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
tial
The view printed here exhibits a
garden which was regarded as so
much a part of the house with which
1t was connected as to be of the nature
OF parlors in the open air. 1t gives
a striking idea of the extent to which
architectural means may legitimately
be used in a 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 a 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 II 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
ara no straight paths, no evargreens
cut into the form OF chickens or less
easily identified animals The only
solution of the problem of a 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

combined with that OF the architect
that brought about SO interesting

1t is improbable that a design with
It's 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 's IT, hold
IN relation TO the houge, wat 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.
Bcape gardener is the final authority.
Some New York architects have
certain gardeners who do all the'c
work and cooperate with them on
plans. Yet ia 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
