to which the garden is divided are centered with a pool, or 
water garden. Two of these pools have the exquisite 
Egyptian lotus, one pool showing those with white blos- 
soms, and the other with pink. The other pools are filled 
with blue and pink lilies. 
As the garden is entered from the terrace the blue 
and purple flowers are noticeable, forming a sort of purple 
vestibule to the rest of the place, bright in its reds, pinks 
and shades and tints of every conceivable hue. 
Other interesting places at “Rockmarge“ are the rock 
gardens, so cool and inviting looking, with their stone 
walls, lily pools and mossy retreats. The stone steps lead- 
ing to these rockeries are of a fitting, rustic formation and 
make a gentle approach up the terrace. A “white” gar- 
den of a most formal design is laid out in the angle made 
by the two large greenhouses. This little spot of purity 
is offset by rich greenery. And still another garden is

This is the “peach” garden. It is a sunken garden, filled 
with peach trees, growing to the walls by which it is 
surrounded. Grapes are also growing here with other 
fruits. A few flowers are keeping the fine fruits company 
all through the place. Nearby this walled-in fruitery is the 
rose garden, spread out in an exposed spot, where “the 
salt winds and much sun,” make roses of intensest bloom. —

Attractive New Building for Manchester

HE Norra SuHore Horricuiturat Socrery, Incorpor- 
ated, is to have an attractive new building in Manches- 
ter in the near future. Definite steps are now being taken 
toward this end. The land was purchased more than a 
year ago, on Summer st., across from the railroad station, 
and about midway between the depot and the electric 
light station. 
Plans have been prepared by the well-known Boston 
firm, Kilham & Hopkins for a building as shown here- 
with to be'of slap-dash finish. 
While the building is intended primarily as a home 
for the North Shore Horticultural society, and to provide 
a place for exhibitions, the building as planned will fill 
a long-felt want in Manchester in that it will provide a 
good sized hall for public occasions—larger than. the 
Manchester Town hall—for use in summer as well as 
winter for musicales and.such gatherings. Another hall 
as large as the main hall will be provided in the basement 
particularly suited for banquets, or committee meetings. 
Off this basement hall will be the heating plant, store- 
room, kitchen, coat room, and, in the far end of the room 
‘ essing rooms and closets, directly below the stage, 
which will be on the first floor. The dimensions of these 
two halls will be 38x60 feet. 
The building will have a frontage of 68 feet on Sum- 
men at the left, and a coat room at the right. 
mer st., and will run back 90 feet. As shown in the pic- 
ture there will be a wing of substantial proportions on 
either side of the main portion of the building. These 
wings will be devoted to rooms for ladies and for gentle- 
The upper 
portion will serve as a logia, or gallery for the main: hall. 
The entrance to the building will be by three doors, 
reached by six steps. After entering a vestibule of good 
size, entrance into the main hall is by three doors, and 
stairs go both down to the lower hall, or to the gallery 
up-stairs. 
That the time is now ripe for a building of this sort 
in Manchester, outside the requirements of the Horticul- 
tural society, is evidenced by the general expression of 
interest from all sides. One lady, a member of the sum- 
mer colony, heads the subscription list with $2000, An- 
other resident has subscribed $1000. 
Several have sub- 
scribed $500. Frank P. Knight seems to sum up the 
situation very well in a letter in which he makes a con- 
tribution of $500 on behalf of Samuel Anne Sons Co., 
in which he says: 
“Gentlemen: Reve ite 
“Permit me to express to you my appreciation of the 
way in which the members of your committee have 
worked in order to bring to a head the question of a
