House & Garden 
Jones 
One can sit in the cool shade of the tea house and 
let the eye wander across the mirrored lily pool 
and trace its path up the brick steps and ramps of 
the terraces to the house on the hill. It is truly 
a garden of degrees. The axis lies east and west, 
with the house at the east commanding beautiful 
morning and evening views. It is enclosed with 
walls of red and brown tapestry brick. The treads 
of the wide steps are flagstones nosed with brick. 
Crushed gray granite with brick edges makes the 
paths. The borders are planted with perennials 
giving, in this climate, a succession of bloom 
and variety of color and form for some ten 
months — from February to late December
