A ROMAN PARADISE.
The Simple and Charming Flower Garden
in the Heart of Italy's Capital.

The Simple and Charming Flower Garden
in the Heart of Italy's Capital.
For flower garden, pure and sim
pie, there is none more charming in
Italy than the Colonna. In the very
heart of Rome it is so concealed that
one might pass it hundred times with
out suspecting its existence. The pal
ace is at the foot of hill, and is sepa-
rated from the garden by a sunken
street and terraces. The street is
crossed by several bridges. and in look
ing from the palace to the terraces is
entirely invisible.
The hill is very abrupt. and one is led
through lex walks and up stairways.
along terraces. to the flower garden at
its very top. The garden, however, is
not in SO unsheltered position as this
might seem toindicate. being protected
at the south by high hedge. An iron
gateway at an opening in this hedge
forms the entrance to the garden, and
on passing through this one is i'm
mediately in the midst OF a most
beautiful mass of bloom, where all
growing things seem at their best.
The arrangement of the garden is very
simple, the paths all radiating, like
the spokes of wheel, from a central
basin. The beds are slightly elevated
above the walks, and their borders of
box form the borders of the paths; the
area covered is about half an acre, but
so admirable is the plan and SO com
pact the planting that it seems much
larger, one sees no paths except that
upon which he is standing, seeming al
ways to be surrounded by great pro-
fusion of flowers, with just enough of
formality to give them their value.
There is no architectural feature in
this garden beyond the basin in its
center, which is sufficiently low to re-
ceive the reflection of the growth
about it. The garden owes its charm
which is very great-to its very sim.
pie design and the admira bic planting
1t is inclosed on the east and west by
high walls covered with vines; at their
bases are several tiers of steps with
flower-pots. A. Plat, in Har-
