a wonderful flower garden--one OF the
finest individually owned gardens in
the world. Acres and acres are COW
cred with flower beds and beautiful
and rare plants. The rugged hill sides
and rocky shore lines OF an arm from
the sea lend themselves gracefully to
the decorations and adorument OF
man. Never do I remember having
seen SO many flowers in single gar
den. In one part OF the grounds was
an old quarry from which the cement
materials had been dug and hauled
away. What might have been a scar
on the scenery has been turned into
beautifully worked out sunken garden.
The rocks are covered with roses and
vines and from little ponds OF water
spring rare water lilies and water
plants.
