TERRACES AND THEIR TREATMENT 







covered with many varieties of climbing 

 roses, having a wide opening leading into an 

 orchard of beautiful twisted old apple trees 

 which are cared for and preserved by all the 

 science of the modern tree doctor. 



This grass terrace is dignified and natural 

 and the only appropriate surrounding for the 

 old house before which it lies. The whole 

 house, terrace and orchard make a wonder- 

 ful spot for a country home, commanding a 

 view over rolling wooded country where 

 one can never weary of watching the many 

 phases of cloud and sunshine, the sheeted 

 rain blowing down the valley in spring and 

 fall, the snow flurry drifting across the sunlit 

 landscape in winter, the somberness of russet 

 autumn, the gaiety of delicate green April 

 and the transformation wrought by the full 

 October moon or the misty starlight of mid- 

 summer.
