B A.f✓K Y U LE As the trend in garden planning leans more towards an integrated house a , garden scheme, the . illu ationn of gardens, for pleasure and safety is receiving more and more' attention. At night, light ties together indoor and outdoor living areas and, • creates . new interest by emphasizing distant parts of the garden. Effective garden* lighting is not only attractive, but practical as well. It accents the natural 7„night-time beauty of your .flowers and foliage, while extending your hours of outdoor living: The lovely outdoor scenes viewed during the day •are lost when the sun goes down and windows become large black rnifrots. Garden or landscape tinting allows you ' to see through, the dark mirrors: Sunshine shows up the beauty of the garden in the daytime; but electric light -can do something quite different. First; before 'consulting your electrician or ' hydro company about : such things' as underground wiring, weatherproof cables, outlets and voltage, you must -consider what - ,,there is to light. '~ Look at the area during the • Ontario Hydro awards road„ day from inside the -home or from the patio or porch = any e. location from where you would contract for Bruce Power Station. • k. structure can be illuminated by a floodlamp placed at the base 'to shine , up through ,t.he branches and leaves. Often the structural line and form of the tree are its main ” beauty. Thus, the floodlamps are aimed -to• graze the tree trunk. You may alsoSee objects of fine form or line in the silhouette'. • As - 'a succession of color appears in your garden - for example the golden forsythia in early spring followed by spirea, lilacs and crabapples, , ari appropriate beam of light may follow ' them by • the use of portable fixtures • and an assortment of colored bulbs to complement or emphasise the color (Ape blooms. In °general, where there are sevgral colors or when the greeny color provides the dominant note, • white light. is satisfactory. -The bluish tight of the mercury vapor lamp intensifies -the beauty of greens: The yellow incartlescent light, on the other hand. tends to deaden or -dull the color of foliage. 1'o brighten or intensify - flowercolors, direct a bulb of the same color upon them. Using ,colored gelatin over an. ordinary white light helps to save on the number of lamps required for -a • • en !flowers come into .bloom Do not allow one visible light bulb° or this may poil the whole effect.

A small pool can be far more enchanting at night than during the day. It may be a focal pointin a garden° ., you walk through, or better still, right outside a window where it can be enjoyed' from inside. Light the water with Units concealed at 'the • bottom of the pool or recessed under the edge. It is sometimes worth building a little garden pool with waterfall for the intense sparkle it will .. bring to the scene. • When steps and.. paths. form' part of the garden, theymust be treated in a more subtle fashion than when they are, merely. _- tif3iaiia Suc`�°`ii asaTrati sieps,, which' are lighted from the door light-.. A very. effective way of illumination ' is to ' mount floodlarnps in trees where they are hidden from view and will create interesting, shadow patterns on the ..'ground .sand paths. Statuary or similar man-made objects are often . important, points of interest. They are best lighted from above or the lighting should be arranged so that only the silhouette is seen. If statutes of figures are lighted from below, a most grotesque effect will be given which will not be at all"flattering. One' very nice thing- ` about garden lighting is that you light what you want to see and screen rout unsightly or undesirable details, • Several sheltered bulbs of white light may be, used to trace the . interesting portions of the. garden design. • be viewing the scene at night. The changing- seasonal interests of the garden recreational areas also provide an opportunity for creating a. series of colorful garden.scenes against the overall and diffused background. ,, of night , , One ' of the first things to' learn about garden lighting is to , use- the lights sparingly. Merely flooding the gardenmwith.light in an attempt' . to disperse the darkness ' defeats. the . artistic purposes of light and ' its application in•' creating glamor, enchantment and pictorial association in'the garden. • • Another basic consideration is to conceal the light source as ', much as possible and, to avoid at all cost, aiming the .light at your neighbor'swindows and gardens. A tree of special ornamental • merit might be one of the first plants to emphasize with lights to ,. ill.ninate its blooms, autumnal color,. silhouette and bark, eaclr in the' appropriate season.
