House and Garden 
THE MULE STEPS ASCENDING FROM THE WALLED-IN GARDEN 
der the terrace is used as an orange house. 
The garden immediately below the terrace 
is small and walled in. It has been left as 
it was except that roses and creepers have 
grown over every inch of wall and blurred 
the lines of masonry with bloom and leaf. 
The beds and grass plots and gravel paths 
and lemon trees in pots make a formal design 
with the circular fountain as a center. The 
beds, about two feet deep, are bordered with 
box and themselves form a border to the grass 
plots. A formal pattern is made by the box 
border, and forget-me-nots, tulips, Silene rosea 
and pinks fill in the design in colors blue, 
pink, yellow and white. Palms and flowery 
shrubs, such as the Weigelia rosea , are dotted
