plan, illustrates how even such a small place can 

 be full of interest and color. 



Steps from the terrace lead down to narrow 

 strips of ground on the east and west sides of the 

 lawn. The eastern side of the property was 

 originally thought out as the service side of the 

 garden but it is so full of color and flowers that it 

 hardly gives any suggestion of the original inten- 

 tion. A path runs along the whole length to a tool 

 house. It is shut off from the lawn by a hedge and 

 for part of the way it is under the curving grape 

 arbor. It is very simply built, its curve is inter- 

 esting, and its pointed roof construction gives a 

 rather quaint impression. It is built very low and 

 is set so far below the terrace that in a very few 

 years it has become almost hidden by the matur- 

 ing trees, shrubbery, and vines. 



On the side of the arbor is an oddly shaped little 

 piece of ground given to Roses and small fruits. 

 Many kinds of native and bush Roses are planted 

 in a thick mass along the terrace wall. Rosa Blanda, 

 Rosa spinossissima, Persian Yellow Roses, Rosa 

 rubrifolia, Rosa rubiginosa which is the Sweet Brier, 

 Rosa nitida, Rosa lucida, Madam Pantier Roses, 

 and Rosa Carolina, to attempt to give them in their 

 succession of bloom, give a bright tangle of color.
