Oil HiIisTORIC GARDENS OF VIRGINIA throned on the hill. It is surrounded by giant oaks and elms and does not need the distant view of the garden. A wee garden now nestles at the south front of Bremo. This is a true daughter of the old-time garden, wafting to one on the Greek portico above, the delicious fragrance of magnolia, mimosa, crepe myrtle, lavender, cinnamon pinks, and musk-cluster roses. In it one may find white and blue violets, peeping through the green leaves, and a shimmer of golden crocus on its borders. This little garden, with its overgrown, predecessor, and everything in both leads one’s fancy to float along the fragrant paths of a century gone and rejoice that old-time flowers still greet each season at Bremo.
