"INVERNARE."

This is the name given to the
home of Mr., and Mrs. Pierre Camblos
at the top of Rose Lane by the New
York man who built it in 1873.
1t has always been known in Ma
rletta as the Burnap Place and is
unique in its attractions.
1t was little corn patch on a
hill with number of primevai oaks
around it when Mr.. Burnap bought
it. A picturesque cottage with
wide verandas was built and the
place was enclosed by hedges of
privet and euonimous. The lawn
was sown with Kentucky blue grass
and white clover and has been cared
for in a way that makes a smooth ex-
panse Of emerald sod. Two magno-
liza trees that have been growing
since 1878 are the largest evergreens
on the place. Then there are three
graceful poplars across the front
lawn of uniform size. A high wire
fence covered with ivy to form q
close hedge runs across the front
and the same ivy is trained around
both yerandas like graceful draper
les.
There are groups of fine ever
green's, holly, laurel and arbor vitae
not to mention vines and shrubs. The
oaks are magnificent but the finest
attraction is the view of the noun
tains from the back veranda. The
whole place is SO peaceful and YER
dant with living green" in so many
forms that it seems like a veritable
oasis of delight.
Mrs. Camblos has a yard of chick
ems beyond tall privet hedge and
Mr.. Camblos has an immense garden
beyond that with a dollhouse heat
ed by water in pipes from a furnace
connected with it,

ing is a row of dollhouse tomatoes
growing in long clusters and along
one side of the house are English
cucumber vines. These cucumbers
are different from those that grow
out of doors and are considered
among the choicest dainties of the
vegetable garden. There are guam
titles of small tomato and parsley
plants ready to be set out in gar
dens and they are sold very reasona-
bly,.
In the garden are patches of sweet
corn and Strawberries.
Mr.. Camblos plants onions and
cabbages alternating and rows Of
onions between these. The odor Of
onions drives cut-worms and other
insects away from the cabbage. So
wise gardeners are not hoping Luz
Their Burbank will graft upon the
onion the fragrance of the rose".
'Invernare" means winter home
and it is truly enclosed against the
cold in a privacy of hedges that
never wither.
Some old hymn writer compares
heaven itself to a land where ever
lasting spring abides and never with
ariva Or fIouyaro h,,f annfhar raat d.
clares spring would be but gloomy
weather if there were nothing else
but spring. Never fading flowers in
great profusion wou "afflict the
mind with fond unrest" as the old
poet said too long regarded roses"
would, but can you imagine too
many trees in a forest or too many
evergreen hedges anywhere?
A magnolia tree is so calm and
peaceful and dignified and 50 is n
holly, but Lombardy poplars are 80
restless they excite your nerves un-
pleasantly.
Evergreen water-oaks are like pa
triarchs, not so magnificent as
pines and palms, but with affec-
tIonate tenderness in their spreading
branches and with a permanence
akin to that of the everlasting hills.
The great oaks around 'Inver-
mare" are like guarding sentinels I'M
der whose protection it is secure.
The house is home-like and COM
Portable and the family heartily en-
joys the whole place especially in
summer.
