Garden 
The heliotrope planting comes up to 
the house terrace and the shady loggia 
where tea is served of afternoons. 
Oleanders in jars mark the opening. 
Above is the sleeping porch with its 
window boxes 
The house garden is fenced in with 
split palings brought from France. 
Against this is a wide herbaceous bor¬ 
der. Mr. Chester Aldrich, the architect 
of the house, assisted Airs. Wittpenn 
in planning the garden

of fragrant heliotrope bordered with petunias
