AN ENGLISH COUNTRY HOME
How a Little Knowledge of Landscape Gardening, the Use of a Beautiful Hedge, and an Abundance of Vines and Flowers About the Unpretentious Residence Have Produced a Vision
. of Loveliness
HERE'S a photograph of a country home
the writer obtained, in England four
years ago a photograph which shows
in ?Jlttle knwledge of landscape garden
Wff. the use of a beautiful hedge, and an
)unaance of vines and flowers have made
an unpretentious residence into a vision of
o i. chncss. And this reminds us to say that
jncrc are three lessons which our American
armers might well learn from our English
country cousins.

and grandfather and great-grandfather lived,
but he likes to beautify and ennoble the place
with the thought that it will be still more
beautiful in the days of his grandchildren and
great-grandchildren.
The third lesson is that of recreation. It
is not "shown in the picture, but you may be
sure that there is a tennis court or other play
ground at or near this house, for the English
are great believers in sport as we believe
our American country folk should be. Let's
work hard all the week till Saturday noon
and then have Saturday afternoons off for
wholesome sport and recreation baseball,
tennis, basketball, fishing, etc. "My boys
work one-third better when they get Satur
day afternoons off," one farmer said to' us
recently; and we have no doubt but that other
farmers could grant the same privilege with
equally profitable results. Let's keep these
three lessons in mind.
