WATERS USES IN THE GARDEN
Ey BETTY PAKE.

There are two spots on the map Of
the world that are said TO have been
picked out by Divine Providence for
Gardens of Eden. In both all of the
utility and decorative features of plant
life were supposed to have been found.
The one thing that is not generally
considered in trying to draw practical
lessons from the greatest of garden
studies is that In both cases the gar
dens were located with particular ref
e-ence to water attributes. The Gar
den of Eden of the Babylonians, and OK
the Hebrew writer's differed only in
respect to the class of man intended to
occupy them. One of them was for
man in his common, ordinary sense (;
the other represented n pleasure spot
for an aristocracy of man.
Showing that there exists a common
ground for all classes of man, the two
gardens sought the same general sur
roundings for their making. They
were placed along that wonderful sys-
TEN of waterways marked by the Tigrls
and Euphrates rivers. The waterways
supplied, therefore, the natural ele-
ment of the scene.
From these highest religious and his
torical conceptions of what a garden
ought to be the humblest maker of a
little garden may well draw his lesson.
Use the water effect. Make water, even
to the extent of a tiny artificial pond,
play part in the making of the park,
the garden or the yard.
If natural waterway, such as lit
tie brook offers it's services, take 1t
with eagerness and thanks. If one
must dig a little lake or pond, be it
ever so tiny, do not lose sight of the
value of the effort.
A spade, a handful of rocks ana q
little time may be the limit of posi-
bility for one; brook with waterfalls
made by nature may be the fortune OF
the other. Maybe water must be
brought by hand to the first scheme {;
possibly it may be piped for artifcially
giving the lake or brook result If ma
ture has lighted particular locality.
But, no matter what the situation,
use water in making a garden or lawn.
Wherever it is possible, have some re-
lief from the ordinary scheme that a
little ingenuity can supply.
Garden pools, where they must be
used, can be stocked with goldfish to
destroy the larvae of mosquitoes and
to give additional attraction.
Water lilies may be raised even in
a garden tank. The peculiar properties
of every section will lend suggestions
to the amateur, as well as to the pro-
fessional, concerning what innovations
and uses may be made with water eff
fects.
