concrete was musty yellow, and that

It was then the inspiration Of Holland

day there has been an increase in
Holland blue furnishings, and trim

were spots where the soil t.dnt re-

these were turned into rock gardens.
ANY one anywhere in New York
can have a rock garden" says Mrs.
Roberts. "You just scatter .hr rocks

beoutiful garden" says Mrs. Roberts.
"Why, have known times when there
was not a flower abloom in my yard
and guests going into it, seeing the
emerald greenness everywhere, the
terra Gotta statuettes and flower boxes,
the Holland blue lattices, the touch OF
orange here or red there, would re-

Well. you "ught really 20 1s:t that
old garden. We call it old because 1t
looks old. 1t appears to have been ac-
, quainted with history, to have been
visited in ancient days by the sweet
AMI wondrou> spirits Of tn ,ast, to
have inspired blood-red romances and
plays that only the masters could have
brewed in such a setting.
In fact, the garden lives. | iats its
secret. 1t is no dead thing. There's
nothing about it that looks like ef-
fort. It's an inspiration, a poem. 1t
is a color sketch wherein the figures
move. You can feel presences almost
of other worlds sitting or standing be-
side you. The music of the ages seems
echoed within the dear old walls OF
! this nature spot that somehow has
crept into the heart of old New York.
In the garden, looking out upon the
duties that lie before you, HI New
York seems instead Of a whirling ma
chine that grinds out work and work
and more work, a plant run by unseen
hands where the bright spots Of life
are multiplied and care slips horizon

Of "Thc Tombstone" from 120 East
Thirtieth Street TO / West Forty
seventh comes to light little of the
story of a backyard" where garden
history has been in the making under
the careful eye and hand of Mrs.
Roberts.
Two year. ago she decided TO give
her dream a practical tryout The
garden Of to-day at the Thirtieth
Street house ir the result Of ntr la
bors.
Mrs. Roberts had heard folks say
they couldn't grow anything on the
soil here in New York. She had seen
-veazencd, scrawny little backyards,
"the kind that take the life out of
you," in so many places that she de-
cided to be q pioneer in gardening and
to find out just what may be done
with the soil in this locality. Here Is
her answer:
NEW York can be made the garden
city Of the world. Every poor man and
woman in New York can have a garden.
For one dollar a year a poor man can
have green and charming things grow
ing on the patch Of ground which In
many cases has been allowed to become
hideous with refuse.
OF the thousands OF acres in New
York City, says Mrs. Roberts (and this
fact Is attested to as true by leading
real estate men) rs per cent is waste

people are losing out on nature--allow-
ing a kindly soil that needs only en-
couragement and help to become beau
