Emerging from an en¬ 
trancing wilderness, one 
is now and then surprised 
by nooks of formal 
beauty as here where 
Petunias throw abun¬ 
dant masses of soft color 
There is no monotony in this garden 
of many acres which has room for 
the naturalistic as well as the more 
ordered types of planting. Ferns in 
rustic boxes give the hidden hand¬ 
rails of the bridge, curving over a 
little ravine, a delightful and, at first, 
puzzling verdancy, the approach to 
the lake is made by a terraced path 
(shown at right) of formal plan
