Standing on the 
terrace before the 
house one catches 
this glimpse of 
the garden and 
its setting 
axis terminates in a 
semi-circular lily 
pool held in a stone 
curbing. 
At this point the 
ways divide. On 
each side stone steps 
lead to a pergola so 
heavily bowered in 
vines that one does 
not at first suspect it 
of being a pergola. 
This forms the ex- 
edra or termination 
of the garden. 
Behind rises a 
rock-ribbed hillside 
heavily forested. The 
garden, then, is like 
a jewel of many col¬ 
ors in a setting of 
woods, its formal 
lines and varied col¬ 
ors contrasting with 
the rugged character 
of the immediate 
surroundings.

slow degrees along 
grass walks down to 
the lower level of the

formal beds brilliant 
with color the season
