GARDEN OF MRS. GEORGE G. KNAPP 
AT MONTECITO, CALIFORNIA 
Down a series of terraces the visitor comes delight¬ 
edly upon this semi-circular seat which furnishes 
a quiet climax to the long walk with its wide bor¬ 
ders of shrubbery, evergreens, perennials, and rock 
plants, beautifully offset by all the fine native ele¬ 
ments of planting such as Monterey Cedars and 
Cypress and the incomparable Live Oak. Photo¬
