The grass step is a device long used in 
English gardens and now being gradually 
tried out by landscape architects here. 
This vieio is in the garden of St. Cath¬ 
erine’s Court near Bath, the estate of the 
Hon. Mrs. Paley 
Not an aeroplane view but a child’s gar¬ 
den! It is at Wilton House, Wilts, the 
estate of the Earl of Pembroke. The size 
of the garden can be guessed by the fact 
that the roller is no larger than a tin of 
condensed milk 
In the grand old days when men mea¬ 
sured time by noon marks and sun¬ 
dials, their ingenuity set up machines 
of great complexity in the garden. One 
of them marks the crossing of the 
garden axes at Wildernesse in Kent, the 
estate of Lady Hillingdon
