Diagram of the Ideal Garden
Paths divide a rectangular garden around a central house and a fountain or tank. Named plots include a fernery, orchards, a Dutch garden, a bowling green and seasonal flower gardens. The caption identifies the Ideal Garden. Within A Subaltern in Spirit Land, the orderly plan gives a diagrammatic form to an imagined environment, with different kinds of planting arranged as a single designed whole.
