A STUDY IN GARDEN TEXTURES 
Nature is generous to the gardens of Bar 
Harbor. However hot the day, evening al¬ 
ways brings a cool dew to refresh the plants 
and assure sturdy growth. Moisture blows 
in from the sea, giving life to the trees and 
green to the lawns. This accounts for some 
of the rich growth in the garden of Mrs. John 
S. Kennedy, a spot that affords a pleasant 
study in garden textures. Here is the velvet 
of a rich, deep lawn, here the endless play of 
light and shade among the phlox, delphiniums 
and marguerites. Above the wall Lombardy 
poplars sweep eloquently and the turfed alley 
leads gently toward the vine-roofed pergola
