on again to the quaint trellised arbor which separates the garden 
and lawn. The Lindens as a picture is indelible, it is a complete thing. 
You move away slowly and looking back towards the strange grey 
dormers, feeling our debt to France in yet one more precious object. 
Flower The Flower Show of The North Shore Horticultural Society, 
Show held in Horticultural Hall, Manchester, offered one more delight to 
eyes and minds almost surfeited with beauty; wondrous orchids, 
white, pink and mauve, giant Gloxinias in deep purple, rare pale 
violet Achimines Delavayii, waxen Begonias in every shade of bronze, 
orange, yellow, white and scarlet, great Peonies, stately Fox-gloves, 
flowers almost too numerous to mention, but forming an indescribably 
lovely whole. 
The miniature gardens were especially noteworthy as a class of 
growing importance, encouraging in the amateur a knowledge of 
design, proportion and color. Those displayed were of great interest. 
The members of the Garden Club of America are greatly in- 
debted to the Horticulturists of the North Shore for this beautiful ex- 
hibition, and appreciate the generous spirit shown in their encourag- 
ing co-operation with the Garden Clubs. 
Miss Davis- The approach to Miss Davison's and Miss Hawley's garden is 
on's and rugged and wild, and except for a gay awning on the house beyond, 
Miss Haw- gives no suggestion of the exquisitely gentle beauty of the wee garden. 
LEY s Gar- j think never before have I so completely "gone through a gate." 
The narrow space between the high walls was blossoming with the 
choicest of Columbines of every color, with now and then a tall Valer- 
ian reaching almost to the top of the wall. The path was edged on 
either side with alternate pots of white Petunia and pink Phlox 
Drummondi, set in the ground between bricks. There was promise 
of bloom later in the season, and the stiff blades of Gladioli and 
Japanese Iris gave body and contrast to the most dehcately lacy 
planting imaginable. 
The house, the rocks, the native vegetation, the pool with its 
wonderful reflections, the larger garden with its stirring inscription 
on the wall were each an added delight. 
It is imaginable that the house and its plan sprang from the ex- 
istence of the pool in that certain spot. It is a deep water-filled quarry 
with sheer rocky sides. The loggias and balconies of the house over- 
hang it as do those of the Italian coast beyond Sorrento. A more 
studied yet inevitable composition than house, garden and water 
would be far to seek.
