IN THE WOODLAND WILD GARDEN 



Prairie Roses (Rosa setigera) beautifully fringe the margin with color, and hardy Water-lilies 

 light up the surface of the still pool. Birds love this quiet spot and fill it with their singing

FEW gardens are so saturated 

 with the spirit of the American 

 landscape or fit more completely in- 

 to it with, of course, the exception 

 of the Japanese feature which is 

 distinctly oriental in character and 

 for that reason has been placed in a 

 secluded spot to avoid incongruity. 

 Glenallen combines in unusually 

 happy fashion the freedom of a 

 country estate with the convenience 

 of a suburb. The plan for this fifty 

 acres was originally designed ten 

 years ago by Mr. Warren H. Man- 

 ning of Boston, subsequent de- 

 velopments being made by Mr. M. 

 H. Horvath of Cleveland. All the 

 construction work from the land- 

 scape architects' studies have been 

 carried out by Mr. Robert P. 

 Brydon, superintendent for Mr. 

 and Mrs. Prentiss, who continues 

 in charge

 of color down the center beds bordered about by Perennials and backed by a hedge of Arborvitae
