On the east -
The Pursuit of Pleasure, by Chas. Holloway, gracefully carrying out the idea of this court.
On the north -
"Victorious Spirit," by Arthur F. Matthews.
This wonderful golden note represents the Victorious Spirit, the Angel of Light, with widespread wings of protection. She is the means by her gentle influence of keeping materialism (represented by the horse driven by brute force) from riding over the higher expressions of life.
Muhlenbeckia borders the pool, producing a most fernlike effect.
At the side, in front of the flanking Italian Towers, are erica and epacris, in lavenders and pinks, accented by deep lavender pansies.
The tiny border to the beds is myrtus ugni. The wallflowers, interspersed with Spanish and English iris, are massed thruout this court, with rhododendrons in the corners. Against the foundations is pink-and-cream lantana.
The Palm is the strong feature of the court. On either side the portal
Italian cypresses have been used.
The lanterns in the corridors have been modeled from Roman lamps, and are particularly beautiful in perspective.
