House & Garden 
A GARDEN OF PERPETUAL INTERESTS 
Visualize this garden as it was in the beginning—a siveep of field 
down from the road. One can see such a dozen times on a country 
tramp. Then came the house, the grading of the terrace and the 
retaining wall of field stone with the steps leading down to the 
loioer garden. In a holloio behind a row of sentinel arborvitae 
was sunk a pool, faced with flat stones from thereabouts. It is a 
gardeji made of the things on the place. That is ivhy it so pleas¬ 
ingly fits its setting. And because a little human ingenuity has 
cooperated with Nature, it is a garden of perpetual interests; the 
more one looks at it. the more one can see. It is the home of Miss 
Jeanne Ingersoll at Penllyn, Pennsylvania
