AMERICAN ESTATES AND GARDENS 



The bedrooms, which fill the upper story, are fitted up with rare taste and fine indi- 

 viduality of treatment. Much of their furniture has been especially designed for the particular 

 rooms in which it is placed. Unlike a great country house in the North, this vast Southern 

 palace has no outbuildings and subsidiary structures. One does not keep a stable of horses at 

 Palm Beach, and one does not need elaborately planned and cultivated gardens to set off one's 

 house. Plants and flowers, trees and shrubs, grow here unaided and with rare Southern 

 profuseness and rapidity.
