House & Garden 
One of the features is the stone 
seat—one might almost call it a

The pools are girt about by 
boulders of irregular size and

of which grow ferns and rock 
plants. A tiny stream trickles 
from level to level 
Naturalism is the keynote every¬

shade under the trees brings out 
the full effectiveness of the rock- 
work and planting
