From one end of the pool runs a per- 

 gola with an old apple tree overhanging 

 the water and casting its shade on the 

 'immering surface. An apple tree in a 

 Greek garden! Let's see — in one of her 

 fragments, doesn't Sappho speak of an 

 apple tree and the golden fruit that was 

 always too high to reach? 



THE GREEK GARDEN on THE 

 ESTATE 0/ SAMUEL UNTERMYER 



GREYSTONE, NEW YORK 



WELLES BOSWORTH, Architect 



Standing at the edge of the upper terrace 

 and overlooking the swimming pool is a 

 Greek temple of marble Corinthian col- 

 umns and a circular entablature open to 

 the sky. It is executed in Alabama marble. 

 The whole garden answers the poet's ques- 

 tion, "Why Go To Greece?"
