acres. The location is magnificent and 

 the ocean views are superb. The 

 Italian garden of blue and white flow- 

 ers was beautiful. The rock gardening 

 is well done. The roof of one of the 

 •greenhouses was pink with dipladenia 

 flowers. An extensive new rose gar- 

 den, planted with hybrid teas, both 

 dwarfs and standards, was completed 

 last spring. 



Daniel Hay, at Mrs. French Vander- 

 bilt's, has a fine garden covering five 

 acres, for vegetables and flowers for 

 cutting. In the greenhouses geraniums, 

 chrysanthemums, orchids, roses and 

 gardenias are chiefly grown. Qladioli 

 here were fine. Sweet peas on bam- 

 boos nine feet high were still bloom- 

 ing well. 



At Mrs. Thomas J. Emery's a beauti- 

 ful new rose garden was added this 

 season; also a new bowling green and 

 vegetable garden. Among the many 

 hybrid tea roses. Chateau de Clos 

 Vougeot, rich crimson, and Willowmere, 

 rich coppery apricot suffused with rose, 

 were fine. The flower gardens, lawns 

 and shrubberies here are extensive and 

 well planted. In the greenhouses I 

 noted two divisions of grapes; also 

 one house containing nectarines and 

 peaches in pots and another one planted 

 with tomatoes. A. J. Dorward has 

 charge of this interesting estate. 



At E. J. Berwind's, on Bellevue ave- 

 nue, a new sunken garden, entirely 

 planted with beds of the scarlet Be- 

 gonia Erfordii, with temples and foun- 

 tains of marble, was added this year. 

 The extensive lawns here are in as 

 nearly perfect condition as it is possi- 

 ble to have them in America. Constant 

 mowing, rolling and weeding, with an 

 abundance of water, are necessary for 

 this. There are many beautiful box 

 edgings here, in perfect condition, and 

 large numbers of big specimen boxes 

 that were planted over twenty-five 

 years ago; also great numbers of speci- 

 men bays, privets, retinosporas, etc. 

 This estate is kept up in princely style. 

 In the greenhouses I noted a fine batch 

 of Amaryllis Belladonna in flower. 

 Bruce Butterton has charge of this 

 estate.
