as a green-garden in a most delightful and unusual style, with the hedges 

 planted in simple pattern, the centre of each plot being formed by large 

 bosses clipped into fantastic shapes. Some flame-coloured poppies give 

 the only touch of bright colour, for this was never intended to be a 

 flower garden, which was reserved for the adjoining terrace. Here is to 

 be found a delightful mingling of marble statues and trailing vines. 

 Madonna lilies and China roses, with other simple flowers growing in a 

 setting of geometrical box with a background of ilex grove. Here too 

 a tiny fountain forms the centre of a frog-haunted pool, and helps 

 to make " beauty to the eye and music to the ear."
