House & Garden's 



From the orchard one looks toward the lemon 

 house through ichose arched passagen'ay is a 

 glimpse of the garden beyond. The lemon house 

 forms the south boundary of the garden and gives 

 ample protection to the shade-loving plants 'uchich 

 are growing in its lee 



The vteic across the garden front 

 southeast to northwest shows 

 two of the accenting palmetto 

 trees and a corner of the villa 

 beyond. The arrangement might 

 be called informally formal 



Though it is not a part of the 

 garden, the view from the north 

 doorway of the villa through a 

 gap in the hedge to the valley 

 of the Arno is a noteworthy 

 feature of the place 



At the intersection of the main 

 axes is a little well with a stone 

 curb and iron railing. Beyond 

 are the arch of the lemon house 

 and the walk which leads into 

 the orchard
