A Unique Photograph 



The accompanying picture, a bird's eye view of the 

 sunken garden on the P. A. D. Widener place at Ogontz, 

 Pa., was taken from the roof of the mansion. This gar- 

 den is considered one of the most beautiful of its kind 

 in this country. Mr. William Kleinheinz, superintendent 

 of the estate, has shown great skill in his general lay out 

 of it, presenting during the growing season one nia\- say, 



a continuous transformation scene, as transplanting 

 never ceases from the early spring to the late fall, and 

 every brief period will find an almost complete change 

 of color effect. The photograph on the cover page is a 

 scene from a corner of the pond in the garden, a snap- 

 shot taken with (we will name them) four American 

 Beauties, adding additional life to the picture.
