Beyond the flight of steps, observable to the left, the garden 

 is bounded by a rather steep bank sloping upward to a smaller 

 show garden used to display especially selected specimens. 

 The bank, always a difficult problem to solve, is treated with 

 various plants selected to show their adaptability to that 

 purpose. Lonicera Monro wi, a drooping Honeysuckle, Calli- 

 carpa purpurea, Snowberries, and Rugosa Roses are freely 

 used. Here and there a Red-bud (Cercis canadensis), lifts its 

 head among the Golden Elders and Pink-flowering Crabs, 

 Spiraea prunifolia waves its slender snowy wands, and Myrtle, 

 (Vinca minor) covers the ground. 



Along the right-hand margin of the garden, and in near-by 

 beds, are grouped Rhododendrons of the finest types; and 

 Kalmia latifolia follows the brilliancy of its cousins, the 

 Azaleas, displaying a shimmering beauty against a background 

 of Cedars and deciduous trees.
