Gardens Of Roses And Carpets at www.japanese-home-gardens.com

The entire point of the peninsula on which the Old Seraglio stands has been made into a park—Giilhane Park, where the Fun Fair is held— and the views of the Bosporus from the Bagdad Kiosk and other buildings, through cedar and cypress groves and gardens of roses and carpets of violets, are as memorable, in their different ways, as is the view from Loti's cafe.

THESE FASCINATING roses have small flowers and a miniature stature suitable for, among other things, edging borders, planting in rock gardens and planting in containers. There are also dwarf polyantha roses characterized by their bushy, compact habit.

Moquette carpets. The term "moquette" is applied to the French 27-inch strip hand-loomed carpets. It is similar to the Axminster in weave. There are two types; the moquette veloute has a cut pile and the moquette boucle has an uncut pile. The strips are usually treated with a small repeat motif. One of these carpets made with a special pattern was presented to George Washington by Louis XVI of France and is now in the banquet room at Mount Vernon. Carpets under this classification have also been made by machine methods.
