 tinctly apart from all. A thin planting 

 of evergreens screens it on the south and

 bank on either side, the shady section be-

 is more rock garden and then a short 

 stretch of dry wall garden. Such a site as 

 this does not have to be found all made.

 various parts of the place or brought in
