The Garden Magazine, July, 1921 
ing contains a collection of 14,428 ancient implements 
and utensils imported by the American colonists or made 
here as occasion demanded by local blacksmiths, carpen- 
ters, and farmers. Among these are, of course, the tools 
which our forefathers used in field and forest. Conse- 
quently Doylestown with its arboretum at Aldie and its 
329 
unique museum should be a Mecca for lovers of trees and 
garden craft. 
Recently Dr. Mercer has also dedicated to Doylestown a Wild 
Flower and Bird Sanctuary provided with a century-old stone 
house, over the door of which is a tile design with the inscription 
“Silva Vocat.” 
FOUNTAIN IN THE POOL AT ALDIE

This thin jet of water, spouting unceasingly up out of the great rock and spraying lightly down again, adds a sparkling note of life to the 
scene and proffers refreshing suggestion on the hottest of midsummer afternoons. Incidentally its airy movement on the surface of 
the pond prevents stagnation — and perhaps as w'ell keeps the sculptured mermaiden cool!
