The view from the house shows the dispo¬ 
sition of the beds. At regular intervals 
evergreen specimens are used for accent 
points. Bluestone paths wind in and out 
between the beds to the stretch of lawn 
beyond. The grassed terrace in the fore¬ 
ground serves for an outdoor dining room 
in pleasant weather 
Behind the house the land slopes away 
leaving a bank on either side. The garden 
limits are marked by a long white baluster, 
giving space for a drive on one side, and 
below it, a grass walk with a massed plant¬ 
ing of hollyhocks, climbing roses, dahlias, 
gladioli and other border plants against the 
wall 
Seated in this pergola one gets 
a vista of the long shrubbery 
border to the north, the grass 
walk and balustrades
