Book of Gardens 



{Above) Seen from 

 an airplane, the gar- 

 den of "Knollwood", 

 the home of Mr. 

 Charles I. Hudson, at 

 East Norwich, Long 

 Islatid, presents the 

 full beauty of its Ital- 

 ian plan, taken from 

 designs brought from 

 Italy in the time of 

 Francois I. The first 

 terrace is a blue gar- 

 den, and each plot be- 

 low has its own color 

 scheme surrounded 

 by hedges. Hiss & 

 Weekes, architects 



(Left) In the older 

 days, a garden had 

 its portrait sketched 

 in what was called a 

 bird's-eye view. The 

 fashionable garden of 

 today has its photo- 

 graph taken from a 

 hovering airplane. 

 This lovely garden at 

 "Meudon", the home 

 of Mr. William G. 

 Guthrie, at Locust 

 Valley, Long Island, 

 is planted with a 

 great variety of ever- 

 greens. C. P. H. 

 Gilbert, architect
