A STUDY IN GARDEN TEXTURES 



.\'alure is generous to the gardens oj Bar 

 Harbor. However hot the day, evening al- 

 uays brings a cool deui to refresh the plants 

 and assure sturdy growth. Moisture blows 

 in from the sea, giving life to the trees and 

 green to the lawns. This accounts for some 

 of the rich growth in the garden of Mrs. John 



S. Kennedy, a spot that affords a pleasant 

 study in garden textures. Here is the velvet 

 of a rich, deep lawn, here the endless play of 

 light and shade among the phlox, delphiniums 

 and marguerites. Above the wall Lombardy 

 poplars sweep eloquently and the turfed alley 

 leads gently toward the pergola in the distance
