of a quarry which was suddenly rendered useless by being flooded 
by a spring. This water has found its natural outlet, and has formed 
a pond of amazing depth, which acts as a mirror to the Villa, the trees, 
and the vegetation which grow upon the highly colored rocks. The 
grounds are tiny to the point of minuteness, and Miss Davison and 
Miss Hawley are to be congratulated upon the harmony of treatment 
which pervades "Latomia. " The memory of this spot is one which 
is indelibly impressed upon the memory of the members of the Gar- 
den Club of America. 
The drive back to the beach at the foot of the place of Mr. White- 
house, at Manchester Cove, was made by way of a drive around 
Eastern Point. The walk along the shore revealed to us the rugged 
beauty of this Coast. The view from Mrs. Hopkinson's point is 
superb, and the composition and treatment of the wind-swept Austrian 
pines, against the bold rocks, looking through to the blue ocean, is one 
of very great beauty. 
From thence we passed through Miss Sturgis's place, and walked 
across the white sands of Dana's Beach, unusual in its breadth, to the 
place of Mrs. Gardner M. Lane. Mrs. Lane's place is most luxuriant 
in its vegetation, with very handsome trees, and a luxuriant growth 
of shrubs. The formal water garden was very beautiful in its design. 
We walked through the lower formal terrace to a most mysterious 
wood's walk covered with pine needles, which was edged with rare 
specimens of wild lilies and many plants native to the woods of Mass- 
achusetts. Mrs. Lane very graciously entertained the entire mem- 
bership at tea, which was much appreciated at this hour of the day. 
After leaving Mrs. Lane's by motor, we walked through the beau- 
tiful Avenue of Miss Loring, to the residence of Mrs. Shaw, where we 
found a delightfully intimate garden which showed the care and 
thoughtfulness of its owner. 
From Mrs. Shaw's we went to the estate of Mrs. William H. 
Moore whose path down the side of a hill, and whose Willow Walk 
were most interesting. The Willow Walk was very suggestive to the 
members of the Garden Club of America, and awakened much 
enthusiasm. Mrs. Moore entertained the Presidents and the Dele- 
gates at dinner upon her terrace.
