THE FRONT COVER OF THIS BOOK 



On our front cover for this year, we present the fifteenth instal- 

 ment of our series, "GARDENS OF THE GREAT." We have pic- 

 tured previously the homes and gardens of the great men of the first 

 century of our republic, but this year, we have jumped to a much 

 later period and illustrated the home and garden of one of America's 

 great Presidents known to generations now living. 



Sagamore Hill, the home of President Roosevelt, is situated about 

 three miles from Oyster Bay, a little village quite typical of Long 

 Island. 



The visitor to Sagamore — and his name is legion — travelling along 

 the main highway from the village, is rewarded by a surpassingly 

 lovely view of the bay itself and presently diverging from the high- 

 way begins the ascent of the long hill to the mansion. This leads 

 him along a winding drive through deep-tangled woods, and finally 

 in view of the mansion and gardens. 



The gardens at Sagamore are exceedingly well kept, and are larger 

 than the gardens at most of the famous houses we have hitherto 

 pictured; but it is not possible to include both the house and gardens 

 in one view. 



The side of the house we have pictured commands a view of a 

 broad lawn which rolls gently down to a well kept forest of stately 

 trees. We take pardonable pride in here mentioning that when these 

 lawns were originally laid down "THE HENDERSON LAWN 

 GRASS SEED" was used for the purpose. 



The veranda in front of the mansion is a real old-fashioned Ameri- 

 can porch, well furnished with hammocks and wicker furniture and 

 enclosed with the usual railing. It will be noticed that a portion of 

 the railing at one side has been removed; and it is an interesting fact 

 that this was done in 1904 when Roosevelt received the notification 

 of his nomination for the Presidency, so that he could stand there to 

 make his address to the committee. Later he made hundreds ot ad- 

 dresses from this spot when Sagamore Hill was the Mecca towards 

 which all eyes turned, and great crowds of his admirers had ma«Je a 

 beaten path from all parts of the country to this famous front porch. 

 At the bottom of the frame surrounding the picture we have illus- 

 trated the Roosevelt Coat of Arms which in heraldic language is 

 described as "three roses proper on a mount vert." with the motto 

 "Qui plantavit curabit," which may be freely translated as "Who 

 plants well, shall reap." 



There is a little lesson in that motto for all interested in garden- 

 ing, regardless of its wider implications. 



Roosevelt, statesman, traveller, explorer, although given at inter- 

 vals to wanderings in foreign climes, was at heart an intensely home- 

 loving man. and when his term of office expired and he returned to 

 live at Sagamore Hill, he had this to say of the place — "After all. fond 

 as I am of the White House and much as I have appreciated these 

 years in it, there isn't any place in the world like home — Sagamore 

 Hill where things are our own, with our own associations, and whore 

 it is real country'-"
