Remarkable Back Yard Transforms.

He transformed 80 by 1876 foot lot

varieties Of flowers bloom around q
real pond in which real fishes swim in
water flowing from miniature water.
fall on the face Of rugged cliff.
The garden is the result Of FIVE years
work. which began with the creating
Of pond in the back yard. Leaving
a crescent shaped island. on which
stands summer house in the center,
Mr.. Meissner excavated around it to
depth Of about two feet, lining the
hole thus made with water retaining
coating Of stones and cement. The
earth removed was used in building ON
the lawn a half dozen hillocks. to be
artistically covered with flowers. Young
willows planted around the water add
a natural touch, and rustic bridges lead
to the summer house.
When he had finished the pond Mr.
Meissner decided that he would have
to revise some Of the existing scenery:
"Down with the back fence" said
he, and he started in to haul more
rocks and cement. The new idea re-
suited in a cliff twelve feet in height
from the brow Of which rushes a wa
