We next visited the r\(.ii-i\i> .l.iniain 

 of Lord Rendel, a place beyond the limits 

 of the town, and extending far up the 

 mountain side it possesses unique and 

 varied features. Tii it* lay out and devel-

 served and coiiiliiiir .lln I nrly in the gar- 

 den scheme. The wasliin;.^tonias beside 

 the main drive are superb and the phce- 

 nix magnificent. A specimen of P. sene- 

 galensis was noted, heavily fruited and 

 very effective, its fruits being of a rich 

 plum-purple color. Memories of many 

 more beautiful things seen come back, 

 too numerous by far to give in detail 

 here. From Cannes a slmrt excursion 

 was made inland to 



Grasse, 

 a quaint old city famous for its per- 

 fumes, and worthy of a visit, if only to 

 see how flowers for the perfume distil- 

 leries are grown. To the right and left 

 and below the city, which stands high on 

 the mountain side, are miles of narrow 

 terraces planted with jasmine, roses and 

 other flowers, cultivated under condi- 

 tions that would seem absurd, only none 

 other are possible. Here is a beautiful 

 country, delightful to live in, favored 

 with a genial climate, and now richly 

 productive, but at what cost! Those 

 long lines of terraces rising tier above 

 tier testify to efforts almost superhuman 

 before the steep, rocky mountain sloi>es 

 became amenable to cultivation. There 

 ■was no choice in the matter, and terrac- 

 ing only stops when impossible. The 

 largest and loveliest garden in this para- 

 dise of flowers is at Grasse and belongs 

 to the Baroness Alice de Rothschild. A 

 day was spent in it, but no attempt to 

 express in words its varied charms and 

 floral richness can picture it to you. 

 About the house are fine groups and 

 noble specimens of palms, dracEenas, 

 agaves, aloes and bamboos, and here 

 again Brahea Roezli stands out con- 



spicuously and strikingly attracti' 

 p'ant unique in beauty. From the 

 the garden extends up the moiinta 

 an elevation of about l.oiiii f,ri. ,-

 liraiit V is in a country full of olive ticis. 

 Tlic scene was one that will never lade 

 from memory. Before us and to right 

 and left over many square miles of coun- 

 try nothing but olive trees fanned by a 

 gentle breeze, shimmering in sunshine, 

 their glistening silvery leaves, like rail- 

 lions of t-ny mirrors, reflecting dancing 

 sunbeams.
