WILME·T<TE LIFil 'November. 30, 1~ 'N ortla S!Jore Gar4em · .. r The New Home of 11 Great Metropolitan Journal Are Highly P,.aised by Dtulley C. Watson '----------~---..........----.-~--------· Gardens along the north shore made indigenous to the location, we~e especially approved by Dudley Crafts Watson when he lectured recently before the Garden Club of Illinois in the Bat Tabarin of Hotel Shefman, Chicago. He visualized and illustrated on the screen in color a north shore gardrn near the lake which adjoined a house built on a cliff shore-line with the gardens taking on the cool blues and lavenders in harmony with the · cool blue of the sky to the east and the blues .and Jayenders of the lake, planted ~tth lo~v-growing flowers in protectiOn agamst the strong lake winds. Gardens planted on the lake shore on this side, he reminded, should be planted with the cool colors harmonizing .wit!~ the aspect and atmosphere of thts s1de of the lake, while the bright, warm colors-yellows and reds importantly-should emblazon gardens on the opposite shore where there are western afterglows and warm colors. In planting any garden, he advised. it is welt to remember this sugge3tion -cool colors to the eastern view, warm to the west. Mr. Watson showed pictures of giant pansies and of trumpet vines \_._ growing in the t. i ny gardens of ·N orway, and told of the blooming of georgeous roses in the frozen north as far as the Arctic circle. He showed pictures from gardens in Seville, Granada Versailles and Kew, and pleaded fo; restraint 11 any garden. The far·famed gardens of England, rampant with bloom, may be criticized, hr averred, for their too great abundance of bloom and flower mas3es running riot. While it is 'customary to approach the survey of gardens in Europe through English gardens, this is hardly correct, he feels, for England is a country with n\:> heavy fro3ts or frozen stretches, no droughts of barren dryness. The lawns of England rarely require sprinkling. SOTHERN COMES AGAIN Steam shovels, derricks and mortar mixers, working day by day along the western bank of the Chicago river, not far from the heart of the city's "loop," are preparing the way for a transformation of the metropolis of the west. The machines are building the new home of The Chicago Daily News, a twenty-five story edifice of massive and Famed Actor to Give Recital for Sun· modern architecture. with a riverside ol~7~ for public promenades.
