The Maida Babson Adams American Garden Collection documents the work of Molly Adams, a free-lance garden photographer who photographed hundreds of private and public gardens, many of them in the mid-Atlantic region, from the late 1950s through the mid-1990s. It includes slides, photographic prints, negatives and transparencies. A significant number of images document the work of landscape designers Nelva M. Weber, Alice Recknagel Ireys, and Friede Stege. Roughly 50 gardens do not have an identified location. Some images have captions and other information written on them.

Biographical / Historical
Molly (Maida Babson) Adams (1918 - 2003) had a 40+ year career as a nationally recognized free-lance garden and wildlife photographer and conservationist. Her images were published under the name "Molly Adams." Adams was born in Orange, New Jersey and lived over fifty years in Mendham Township, New Jersey. As a teenager she became interested in photography; she later attended the New York Institute of Photography and became a member of the New York Camera Club.
Her photographs were featured in numerous newspapers and magazines including the "New York Times," "New York Herald Tribune," "House Beautiful," "Horticulture," "Home Garden," and "Audubon." During the Kennedy administration, she photographed the White House Rose Garden; these photographs were later published in "Flower Grower."
Adams provided hundreds of photographs for "How to Plan and Plant Your Own Property" (1967) by landscape architect Alice Recknagel Ireys and "How to Plan Your Own Home Landscape" (1976) by landscape designer Nelva M. Weber. Her images were also published in books including "The Reader's Digest Practical Guide to Home Landscaping," and "The Complete Illustrated Book of Garden Magic." Adams also occasionally wrote garden-themed articles. A longtime member in the Somerset Hills (NJ) Garden Club, which is part of the Garden Club of America, Adams once served as the latter's official photographer.
In the 1960's Adams' photographs drew attention to conservation issues related to the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in northwestern New Jersey. These widely publicized photographs rallied public support against the proposed destruction of the Great Swamp for the construction of an airport. Adams was also active as a member of the Mendham Township Environmental Commission and the North Jersey Conservation Foundation. In the 1980's she was awarded the Buckley Medal of Merit for Horticultural Achievement by the Garden Club of America for her photographs used in the postcard campaign "Save Our Vanishing Wild Flowers."
Scope and Contents
The Maida Babson Adams American Gardens Collection includes a total of 7,606 images documenting close to 400 gardens photographed by Molly Adams from the 1950s to the 1990s. Although most images document gardens in New Jersey, the collection also includes gardens in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania. While the vast majority of gardens in the collection are private, there are also some public gardens and venues like the Frelinghuysen Arboretum in New Jersey, the International Flower Show in New York City, and the White House in Washington, D.C. A number of gardens were photographed during organized garden or horticultural tours or annual meetings of the Garden Club of America.
A significant number of images document the work of landscape designers Alice Ireys, Nelva Weber, and Friede Stege. Approximately 85 gardens in the collection are unidentified as to their location and/or client.
Relatively few images are captioned or dated; Adams often labeled a film envelope or back of a photograph or contact sheet with just a client surname and the designer (if it was Ireys, Weber, or Stege). In some cases, additional information about a garden's location or owner's full name was gleaned from the finding aids for the Alice Recknagel Ireys Papers or the Nelva Weber Papers. Some images were accompanied by clippings from newspapers or magazines that featured one or more related images by Adams; most of these clippings date from the 1950s and 1960s. There is also a file of general clippings of Adams' work; many of these do not identify the garden that is shown.
Most of the images are black and white, though there are a number taken in color. Adams' contact sheets and photo envelopes were sometimes marked with cropping marks or photo developing notes respectively.
Immediate Source of Acquisition
Adams' family donated her collection of garden images to the Smithsonian's Archives of American Gardens after her death in 2003.
Custodial History
Molly Adams' image collection was sorted and arranged by a member of the Garden Club of America prior to its being donated to the Archives of American Gardens in 2003. A group of images showcasing nature scenes and birds was donated to the North Jersey History & Genealogy Center at The Morristown & Morris Township Library in New Jersey. The Archives of American Gardens received the remaining body of images featuring gardens arranged according to client or garden name.
Separated Materials
The North Jersey History & Genealogy Center at The Morristown & Morris Township Library in New Jersey has a collection of images by Molly Adams showcasing nature scenes and birds.
Related Archival Materials Note
The Alice Recknagel Ireys Papers in the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, include photographs by Molly Adams.
The Nelva Weber Papers in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections at Cornell University Library in Ithaca, New York, likely include photographs by Molly Adams.
Processing Information
Given that Adams often photographed multiple gardens on a single roll of film, it is not always evident where one job ended and another began. In addition, numerous images in the collection were not labelled by Adams as to the garden owner or location. As a result, there are a number of instances in the Maida Babson Adams American Garden Collection where images have been inadvertently misidentified. Misidentified images are subject to correction as their proper identification is discovered.

General
Casal dos Gaiatos translates to 'Couple of Wags' in Portuguese. At the time of its documentation in 1973 this Connecticut property, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Burton Ashford, featured a gazebo situated above a terraced garden as well as a large patio adjacent to the residence. The patio, which provided a sweeping view of the surrounding landscape, served as an outdoor living and dining area framed with wisteria and vine-covered trelisses.

General
Designed by Eloise A. Ray, the herb garden was a key feature in this property belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gund and was situated adjacent to the home's terrace. Culinary, cosmetic, and healing herbs were grown, giving a variety of colors, scents, and textures. Plant material varied from low-growing sweet woodruff to bushy yellow achilleas. A path of marble chips with scalloped edging (made from asbestos fiber!) outlined the plantings and led from the terrace's seating area along the house. It was roughly paralleled by a winding brick path farther from the house. From the herb garden an open meadow/lawn area led the eye to surrounding woodlands. In addition to the herb garden the home's landscaping featured what appears to have been extensive pleached hedging, lawn areas, and garden elements such as a rustic wooden garden shed. Molly Adams's photographs were apparently taken on assignment to accompany a newspaper article by Rhoda S[pecht Maxwell]. Tarantino; one (CT320024) was subsequently used in Tarantino's 1972 book (see citations below).
General
Persons associated with the property include Eloise A. Ray (landscape architect, ca. 1960-1969) and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gund (former owners, ca. 1960-1969).

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and other information.
General
Designed by Alice Recknagel Ireys, with a house by architect Julian Augustus Fay, this property belonging to Rolland Taylor was located along Long Island Sound in Connecticut. A more precise location has yet to be determined. Ireys thought well enough of the project to include it in her 1967 book, which explains the large number of Adams photographs documenting the site. Taking advantage of the vista from the house to the water, Ireys designed three terraces: one adjacent to the kitchen for informal dining, a second in the center of the house for entertaining, and a third outside the owner's bedroom as a private retreat. Shrubs and roses bordering the house provided "garden" interest along with some shade and ornamental trees. Records for this project may be found in Ireys's papers at Smith College.
General
Persons associated with the garden include: Alice Recknagel Ireys (landscape architect, ca. 1960-1967); Julian Augustus Fay (architect, ca. 1960); and Rolland Taylor (former owner, ca. 1960-1967).

Scope and Contents

General
Nelva M. Weber was the landscape architect responsible for garden design at Flying Brook Farm, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph D'Assern. The spacious rural property, with views of the Litchfield Hills, featured an in-ground swimming pool set in the midst of an apple orchard. Weber designed a free-form poolside seating terrace to take advantage of the shade of one of the trees. A covered terrace adjacent to the house provided outdoor seating and was separated from the lawn by flower borders. Less formally, an enclosed vegetable garden maintained a country flavor while benefitting from clear delineation by fence and gate. The number of images taken of this site and its being featured multiple times in Weber's 1976 book may indicate that this was one of the landscape architect's favorite designs.
General
Persons associated with the garden include Nelva M. Weber (landscape architect, ca. 1970) and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph D'Assern (former owners).

Litchfield -- Hi-View
Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets, a photocopy of part of an article featuring the property, and other information.
General
With landscape design by Nelva M. Weber, this property was situated in the area of Litchfield, Connecticut (notes in Molly Adams's hand suggest that it may have been located closer to New Milford than to the town of Litchfield). The main entry to the modernist style house featured striking stonework and interconnected plantings of native High Bush Blueberry, dogwood, Bearberry, pachysandra, and spreading Junipers. A swimming pool at the the rear of the property featured a lengthy stone wall backing a garden border, while specimen trees accented the lawn area between the pool and the house.
General
Persons associated with the garden include Nelva M. Weber (landscape architect, ca. 1960-1975).

Litchfield -- Howe Memorial Garden
Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets, photocopies of images of the site, and other information.
General
The first law school in the United States was founded in 1774 by Judge Tapping Reeve, whose home adjoined the one-room school building. At some point the law school building was moved from its original site near South Street toward the back of the property and its direction seemingly reversed. The Howe Memorial Garden, a formal "colonial" garden with elaborate brick walks, was developed between the school building and the fence that then separated the entire property from South Street. This garden was removed in 1976 when the law school building was moved back to its original site, which was in the center of the garden site. Molly Adams's images pre-date this move. One of the images associated with this series, CT332002, may be questionable in its direct relation to this site, although it is likely to have been taken in Litchfield. The Tapping Reeve House and Litchfield Law School building now belong to the Litchfield Historical Society.
General
Persons associated with the garden include: Tapping Reeve (former owner, ca. 1774-1823).

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets.
General
This garden featured design work by Nelva M. Weber. Working with a hilly, somewhat wooded site, Weber took advantage of the house front's southern exposure and the rear of the houses's protection from winter winds. A stone terrace provided an outdoor living area and was designed to preserve a large specimen tree in its center. Stone stairs, walls, and shrubs defined a lawn area.
General
Persons associated with the garden include: Frita Morrow (former owner); and Nelva M. Weber (landscape architect).

General
This was the garden of Mr. and Mrs. Brown Bolte. A well-known advertising executive, he was president of Sullivan, Stauffer, Colwell & Bayles. The six negatives in this series were apparently shot to illustrate an article that appeared in Popular Gardening in March 1958, hence the dating of the images to the summer of the previous year. They show what are probably the Bolte family and guests enjoying the outdoor living spaces adjacent to their home, including a swimming pool and shuffleboard court. Stone walls underlain with garden borders, extensive lawns, and mature trees are the primary landscaping features.
General
Persons associated with the garden include Mr. and Mrs. Brown Bolte (former owners, ca. 1957).

Scope and Contents

General
Celanese House was designed in 1958-59 by Edward Durell Stone as a commission from the Celanese Corporation of America. New Canaan contractor Theodore (Ted) de Freyne Hobbs had acquired the property in 1957 as a development venture and he bore all of the construction costs except for the architect's fee. Celanese furnished the materials free or at cost for publicity rights and national press coverage resulted following the home's completion (the property was sold to Frederick and Velma Willcox in 1960). The landscape architect for the project was James Fanning. Interior spaces opened to terraces screened by latticework to provide privacy. Surrounded by trees, a lawn at the rear of the property featured curving flagstone and fieldstone stairs and fieldstone walls. The terraces provided ample outdoor living space and featured hanging plants as well as more formally placed shrubs and other design features.
General
Persons and firms associated with the site include James Fanning (landscape architect,1959); Edward Durell Stone (architect, 1958-1959); Theodore de Freyne Hobbs (contractor, 1958-1959); Frederick and Velma Willcox (former owners, 1960-2005); and Celanese Corporation of America (corporate sponsor, 1958-1959).

Scope and Contents

General
Friede Stege was the landscape architect for this property. The house was designed by architects Edward Winter and Russell Ford as a home for Ford and his family. In keeping with the home's "Modern" design, Stege kept the landscaping at a minimum, incorporating Japanese elements, but also featuring a broad lawn, surrounding woods, and specimen trees. Lattice screening provided privacy while still enabling an interaction of the house with its surroundings. Stege chose plant material--sedums, heather, lavender, juniper, Mugo pine--to withstand cold Connecticut winters, as well as native deciduous trees such as oak, ash, and maple. Forsythia, viburnum, and euonymus were featured shrubs.
General
Persons associated with the property include Friede Stege (landscape architect, ca. 1961); Edward Winter (architect (1960-1961); and Russell and Hope Ford (architect and former owners, 1960-1976).

General
An iconic structure of glass and steel created by architect Philip Johnson, Glass House was completed in 1949. The house has no interior walls and provides uninterupted views of the landscape from all four sides of the structure. The original property as it was purchased in 1946 spanned five acres. Glass House and its companion structure, Brick House, were the inaugural architectural projects to be built on the property. Over the next fifty years Philip Johnson and David Whitney acquired additional land expanding the holding to 47 acres, and fourteen architectural structures. The Philip Johnson Glass House, once the architect's personal residence, is now a National Trust Historic Site.

Scope and Contents

General
It is possible that this was the garden of Harriet Maxwell of Oenoke Lane in New Canaan, designed by Friede Stege in 1965. The design featured a covered patio with outdoor seating looking onto a tree-bordered lawn area. Another feature was a traditional picket fence and arbor with climbing roses. Because the garden's identity isn't absolutely certain, the images have been assigned a broad date span, although it is likely that they were taken in the late 1960s.

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets, photocopies of real estate ads for Hillandale, and other information.
General
It is possible that this was one of the houses located on the Hillandale estate of Iphigene Ochs and Arthur Hays Sulzberger. Records at Smith College show that landscape architect Alice Recknagel Ireys worked on this property between 1964 and 1984, and Molly Adams wrote "Sultzberger" [sic] on the back of two of the proofsheets in the series (there are four proofsheets in all, two of which are duplicates). The house shown is definitely not the main estate house at Hillandale, which features 23 rooms and 20,000 square feet. Moreover, the suburban appearance of the street and sidewalk shots on the proofsheets is inconsistent with the rural, wooded setting of Hillandale. The images in this series show a colonial revival style house with a small patio garden bounded by a low stone wall. Grass and then flagstone walkways appear to lead from this garden up flights of stairs to a terrace on a higher level. Several specimen trees including holly and white birch appear in other images.
General
Persons associated with the garden include: Alice Recknagel Ireys (landscape architect, 1964-1984) and Iphigene Ochs and Arthur Hays Sulzberger (former owners).

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets, a copy of an article about the garden with photographs by Molly Adams and a complete plant list, and other information.
General
This Japanese-style garden was designed by landscape architect Ethelbert E. Furlong for artist Walter Miles and his wife, Jessie, to complement their home, which in turn had been designed by noted architect and woodworker George Nakashima. Because Walter Miles wanted to install and maintain the garden himself, with as little help as possible, he modified Furlong's plan to some degree, while retaining the spirit of the design. Dry stream beds, a pavilion, a bamboo-roofed gatehouse, and irregularly shaped stones were some of the many features of the garden. Although Asian plant material was used extensively, non-Japanese plants such as as Blue Atlas cedar and a flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) were also selected. After leaving this house in 1971, Walter Miles built a second Japanese-style house and garden in Washington, Connecticut, where he lived until 1983.
General
Persons associated with the property include Ethelbert E. Furlong (landscape architect, ca. 1960); George Nakashima (architect, ca. 1950); and Walter and Jessie Miles (former owners, 1950-1971).

General
Stony-Brook Cottage was the garden of noted garden writer Helen Van Pelt Wilson and involved the work of no fewer than four landscape architects and designers--Margaret Baillie, Alice Recknagel Ireys, Eloise A. Ray, and Rhoda Tarantino. It was the subject of Wilson's book "Helen Van Pelt Wilson's Own Garden and Landscape Book." It featured a variety of plant materials and garden areas including a beech copse, a fern garden, flowering trees and shrubs, and ferns, and was extensively wooded throughout. Stepping stones and a small bridge crossed the brook that ran through the property, while lawns and grass paths connected the various features.

General
Although the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Hull was well-landscaped with azaleas, mountain laurel, and rhododendron, it was their unique glass-sided dining room with attached greenhouse that attracted photographer Molly Adams. A wide range of plants from cacti to orchids to bonsai found a home in these interior spaces, which were large enough to provide variations in light, temperature, and humidity. Separate furnaces and humidifiers for the plant-dining room and greenhouse, as well as a super-slat structure over the gardening end of the house, facilitated the provision of specialized conditions for the plants. The overall result was one of lush variety ranging from gardenias to rosemary to staghorn ferns and a plant collection that garnered numerous awards for its owners.

Little is known about this garden other than it was probably in Connecticut. It was situated in a rural area with a view of a horse pasture and mature woodlands. What appears to be a French country-style outbuilding was accented by climbing plants, garden borders, and a lawn.

General
Little is known about this garden. Like the Patten (MA333000) and Sheldon (MA334000) gardens, this garden was apparently in Boston, Massachusetts (according to a notation on the plastic sleeve enclosing the transparency). Also like those gardens, the spacious, wooded site depicted in the images does not seem typical of an urban location. Similar also to the Sheldon Garden is the Merry Garden's emphasis on daylilies. Variety was provided by a range of other trees, shrubs, and perennials. The date 1970 was written by Molly Adams on the plastic sleeve enclosing the transparency and may well be the year in which she also photographed the Patten and Sheldon gardens, perhaps on the same trip.

Little is known about this garden. Although the penciled notation "Boston" was written on the glassine sleeve enclosing the original negatives, the spacious, wooded site depicted in the images does not seem typical of an urban location. Borders and beds of daylilies and hostas were set off by a lawn area punctuated with trees. Climbing plants trailed up the side of the garage, and paths led to various parts of the property.

Also like that garden, the spacious, wooded site depicted in the images does not seem typical of an urban location. An Asian flavor was given to the garden by its inclusion of a torii gate and what appear to be antique bronzes. Daylilies were the featured planting in both beds and borders, and the use of plant labels indicates that this was more than just a casual garden. Rhododendrons and other shrubs, trees, a variety of paths, and other features rounded off the garden's design. It is possible that the garden's owner appears in image MA334012 (not digitized).

General
Mr. and Mrs. Stedman Buttrick developed extensive perennial gardens with irises being emphasized. Several acres of land were terraced with iris, peonies, hemerocallis, lilies, phlox, and other perennials. There were nearly 200 varieties of bearded irises. Many of Buttrick's white and blue varieties were displayed in American and British flower shows. In the 1950s, National Geographic published a feature article on the gardens. In 1965, the National Park Service bought the property and are currently in a state of disrepair.
General
Persons associated with the garden include: Mr. and Mrs. Stedman Buttrick (former owners, ca. 1925-1965); National Park Service (present owners, 1965-present); James Purdon (architect, ca. 1911); Charles Wheeler (landscape designer, 1911); and Harold Blossom (landscape designer, 1923 and 1925).

General
A 225 acre estate, including about three acres of flower and vegetable gardens, Tredinnock was the summer home of Frederick W. and Carrie Sperry Beinecke. The gardens were largely the work of landscape gardener George E. Wright, who created them on a previously uncultivated site. Features included borders of annuals and perennials, a cut-stone terrace, many potted plants and hanging baskets, flowering shrubs, and a plastic-covered lath house. A highlight was a sunken garden outlined in native field stone.

General
A contemporary house with a mountain view had a professionally designed landscape comprising trees and shrubs combined with drifts of native herbaceous plants selected by the owner. To the south of the house grassy slopes and valleys allowed an unobstructed view of Canaan Mountain. North of the house a mature woodland of native white pines and mixed hardwoods had an understory of native plants. The best were kept and supplemented with exotics that tolerated shade and acid soil. Plantings included sweet woodruff, native wild ginger, European ginger, pink bleeding heart, and cream-colored foam flower. Additional clumps of lungwort and Solomon seal added darker tones and height, and clumps of ferns added texture. A curving walk of flat fieldstones crossed a lawn planted between the house and the woods. Looking north from the house there was a curving border of perennials and bulbs that received summer sun while the pine woodland protected it against winter winds. The plant selection for the border included hollyhock, foxglove, echinops, coral bells, pinks, daylilies, monarda, Shasta daisies, and peonies with creeping thyme and sedum for contrasting foliage. Another sunny spot held a small vegetable garden and orchard.
General
On the mountain side of the house, a bluestone terrace gave way to a grass terrace, shaded by a honey locust. Low growing shrubs and perennials were planted in foundation beds, including a specimen evergreen. Across the lawn a bed of low growing alpines included spreading mats of dianthus, several thyme varieties, and fuzzy gray leafed perennials. Large stones were placed on the slope to prevent erosion, and drought resistant spreading junipers, yucca, clumps of butterfly weed, a sweep of achillea, and volunteer natives completed the garden.

General
This sunny, windswept, seaside garden incorporated a variety of features despite its comparatively small size. A series of garden rooms began with a lawn and garden border area and adjacent greenhouse by the house itself. A brick path then led through a wooden fence through more perennials, annuals, shrubs, trees, and another fence to a gazebo. A nearby fence-enclosed "green garden" was a unique feature, creating another "room."

Basking Ridge -- Borman Garden
Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets, a copy of a magazine article about the garden, a page from a magazine article that may have been written by Borman, and other information.
General
This was the garden of Madeline P. Borman, a member of the Somerset Hills Garden Club and a friend of Molly Adams. Borman began creating this woodland garden around 1960 out of a jungle-like mass of locust and ash trees, dense thickets of shrubs, and nets of poison ivy, honeysuckle, and Virginia creeper. After clearing away the undesirable plants and relocating some shrubs, such as spice bush, privet, and blackthorn, Borman marked out a path and began planting native woodland plants such as ferns, Jack-in-the-pulpit, bloodroot, and hepatica. Primroses, daffodils, azaleas, and other spring flowers complemented the natives. In addition to the woodland garden the site included a stone terrace and seating area with adjacent lily pond, a lawn with garden borders, and a rustic gazebo. Documentation received with the Adams collection clearly assigns a 1965 date to some of the images; this date has been assigned to all of the individual images, although a ca. 1965 date has been given to the series as a whole.
General
Persons associated with the garden include Madeline P. Borman (former owner, ca. 1960-1988).

General
In the possession of the Hyde family from 1929 to 2006, this south-facing, two-tiered garden incorporated a design by Umberto Innocenti and Ferruccio Vitale from the early 1930s, when Innocenti worked for the firm Vitale & Geiffert. The garden featured boxwood hedges, formal flower beds, and a small pond with a central fountain sculpture of a boy and dolphin, made by an Italian stonemason. Fieldstone walls with gargoyles divided the upper and lower gardens, while low fieldstone walls encircled the lower garden, overlooking fields and woods beyond. Between 1954 and 1992 the farm was the site of an art gallery operated by former owner and sculptor Condict F. Hyde.
General
Persons and firms associated with the garden include: Umberto Innocenti (landscape architect, ca. 1930); Ferruccio Vitale (landscape architect, ca. 1930); Vitale & Geiffert (landscape architects, ca. 1930); Mrs. Leslie Hyde (former owner, 1929-?); and Hugh M. and Condict F. Hyde (former owners, before 2006).

Scope and Contents
The folders include worksheets, a photocopied magazine article, correspondence, and other information.
General
Designed by Nelva M. Weber, this garden was at the home (dating to 1775) of Donald and Beth Straus. Weber's design was inspired by the gardens of Colonial Williamsburg and featured a space enclosed by a picket fence and hedges. Brick walkways defined beds within the garden that were planted with a variety of annuals. Surrounding borders both inside and outside the fenced area contained a mix of annuals and traditional perennials, such as daylilies and peonies, as well as shrubs and small trees. The proximity of the garden to an adjacent patio and the house ensured that the home owners and visitors alike would have ample opportunity to enjoy this lovely garden. Several images of the garden were included in Weber's 1976 book, a clear indication of how she valued this particular project.
General
Persons associated with the garden include Nelva M. Weber (landscape architect, ca. 1970) and Donald and Beth Straus (former owners, 1967-1982).

Bernardsville -- St. John on the Mountain
Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets.
General
Founded in 1907, the church of St. John on the Mountain undertook a major building project in the 1960s. As part of this endeavor landscape architect Nelva M. Weber created a new design for the church grounds. In doing so she utilized two focal points: a statue of St. Francis of Assisi and an Asian temple bell housed in a pavilion. A long walkway led to the pavilion from the church area. The St. Francis statue was set in a broad lawn outlined by hedges and bordered on one side by the church building and on others by flowering trees and shrubs.

Persons associated with the garden include: Nelva M. Weber (landscape architect, ca. 1968-1975).

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets, a photocopy of the New York Times article, and other information.
General
Highlighted in a New York Times article in 1965, the Sharp Garden was noteworthy because of its effective treatment of a rocky, erosion-prone slope at the front of the house. Emendation of the soil and the planting of vinca resulted in a practical visual solution. At the top of the embankment adjacent to the house a walk of patio blocks was built. A variety of trees and shrubs including Washington hawthorns, Andorra junipers, boxwood, yew, holly, and andromeda was installed, resulting in a pleasing front entrance to the home. Molly Adams's photographs show the landscaping at the front of the house as well as an additional area at the side or rear of the property.
General
Persons associated with the garden include: Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Sharp (former owners, circa 1961-1965).

Convent Station -- Billings Garden
Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets, a photocopy of a newspaper article with images of the garden, and a 1960 letter (presumably by Molly Adams) to the managing editor of Flower Grower Magazine.
General
This was the garden of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver C. Billings, Jr., and featured a glass-roofed plant room extending from the living room of their house. In this area they raised bougainvillea, begonias, passion flowers, climbing fig, orchids, and even bonsai. Outside, the wooded site provided shade for the plant room and an environment into which many of the plants could be moved during warmer months. Other features of the property included a Florida room with louvered walls and an adjacent outdoor seating area, and a small pond with aquatic plants. A letter in the file would seem to indicate that many of the photographs were taken in 1960, although some images may have been taken as late as 1965 in anticipation of publication with the New York Times article cited below.
General
Persons associated with the garden include Mr. and Mrs. Oliver C. Billings, Jr. (former owners, ca. 1960-?).

Englewood -- Low Garden
Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and other information.
General
Designed by Alice Recknagel Ireys, this was obviously one of her favorite gardens, for it appeared on the front of the dust jacket of her 1967 book. Mrs. Donald Low was the owner of this property, which featured the extensive use of stone in both house and garden walls. Behind the high stone wall separating the garden from the driveway Ireys created a spacious informal setting for a variety of trees and shrubs as well as perennials and a lawn. The dust jacket illustration (reproduced inside the book as well) showed part of the garden in early spring with its bleeding hearts, Virginia bluebells, and primroses under a flowering cherry. Brick and natural surface paths wound through the site; boxwood was used extensively as a border. A stone garden house and statue of St. Francis added decorative touches, while seating near the house and in other locations provided ample opportunity for relaxation and contemplation of this lovely garden.

Essex Fells -- Height Garden
Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and other information.
General
Little is known about this garden other than the last name of its owner, Height (possibly spelled Heydt or Heidt), and that it was located in Essex Fells, New Jersey. Woods surrounded the lawns and borders of this informally designed site and the informality was emphasized by the use of Adirondack chairs on a stone patio. An iron bench near a stone-bordered fish pond provided a more formal touch, while a statue of St. Francis gave the garden a air of calm, serenity, and spiritual union with nature.

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets, a copy of an article by Virginia Gaerste about the garden, and other information.
General
The home of John J. and Martha Virginia McEwan Gaerste, Bittersweet Hill was a country estate that afforded Virginia Gaerste ample opportunity to develop her two-acre garden with plantings for year-round interest. Pear and apple trees from an old orchard added a picturesque note to rolling lawns, while close to the house a brick terrace enclosed by yews served as an entrance court and outdoor dining area. Garden borders and beds featured a variety of perennials including lilies, delphiniums, roses, clematis, and peonies. Hedges defined space while not preventing the eye from gazing on views of adjacent woodlands and hills. Spring flowering bulbs were planted throughout, under trees and against walls to heighten their artistic appeal. Other garden features included a small herb garden near the kitchen, a cutting garden, and a vegetable garden. Because of the large number of images and their comparatively early date this was probably one of Molly Adams first major garden shoots; she is also credited with bringing the garden to the attention of Popular Gardening's editors.
General
Persons associated with the garden include John J. Gaerste and Martha Virginia McEwan Gaerste (former owners, ca. 1955-1975).

Far Hills -- Carpenter Garden
Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets, photocopies of published images of the garden, and other information.
General
Designed by Nelva M. Weber, this was the garden of Fairbank and Marion Farnsworth Carpenter, native Chicagoans who moved to New Jersey in 1955. The extent of the photographic documentation suggests that this was an important site for both Weber and Molly Adams. Several images and a plan were included in Weber's 1976 book and in other publications, some as early as 1960, indicating that this may have been one of Molly Adams's earliest photographic projects. Weber's design included a brick patio with a fast-growing honey locust as a focal point and free-form borders separating the brick area from the house. A stone wall separated the patio from a dropoff at the back of the house, which faced a grassy area edged with daylilies. A swimming pool was defined by a stone wall and featured outdoor seating. Overall, the design aimed to merge indoor and outdoor living in an informal atmosphere, but also featured traditional design accents, such as an armillary sphere.
General
Persons associated with the garden include Nelva M. Weber (landscape architect, ca. 1959-1973) and Fairbank and Marion Farnsworth Carpenter (former owners, ca. 1955-1983).

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and other information.
General
Nelva M. Weber was the landscape architect for this site, probably in the 1960s or 1970s. The rural setting provided expansive views of the surrounding wooded countryside. Weber used brick walls and a stockade fence to define the garden area close to the house. The brick walls enclosed a small lawn, while bulb and perennial plantings and shrubs separated the lawn from the walls. On another side of the house stone stairs led across a lawn to a swimming pool situated next to a barn, while a smaller rustic stone barn provided an historical note to the property.
General
Persons associated with the garden include: Nelva M. Weber (landscape architect, circa 1960-1975) and Mimi (Mrs. John) Ehrenclou (former owner, circa 1960-1994).

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets, notes, and other information.
General
This garden included 15 acres of meadowland surrounded by trees, and was essentially a small, private arboretum. Its former owners, Carol and David Mackie, concentrated on rare shrubs and flowering trees, including fruit trees. Plant specimens were planted in islands, grouped for color and interest, and included a gray-foliaged group with the Russian olive tree and the rosemary willow. A redwood lathhouse was constructed to shelter shade-loving seedlings. Carol Mackie was a well-known horticulturist who discovered a new Daphne on her property, which was named for her, Daphne 'Carol Mackie'.
General
Persons associated with the garden include David Ives and Carol Mackie (former owners, before 1998).

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and other information.
General
Designed by Nelva M. Weber, this was the garden at the home of Reuben F. and Lisa Richards. The country property featured a Colonial revival-style house and its spacious grounds accomodated a swimming pool, broad lawns, and mature trees. For outdoor entertaining Weber created a brick terrace adjacent to the home's living room, defining it with a pierced brick wall fronted by flowering shrubs, clematis, and a boxwood border. Another brick wall helped to delineate the lawn area, which was made more interesting by an expanse of ground cover plants. A second grass terrace completed the design.

Scope and Contents
The folders include work sheets, a written description, and a garden plan.
General
The Teviot Farm house, part of which is an old quarry man's stone house, is situated on a west-facing hillside that slopes down to the North Branch of the Raritan River. The river view is the focal point of the house and gardens. The original landscape plan with walls, pergolas, and terraces, as well as much of the foundation planting, still existed unchanged in 1994. On a lower level, an English-type informal curving path with perennial borders leads from the pergola past a tool shed to the top of an old quarry and on into the woods. On the west, the large porch opens on a narrow grass terrace with two old maple trees edged by a low box hedge. A grass path below goes from the rose garden around to the south side of the house overlooking a pasture field which runs along the river.

Scope and Contents

General
Designed by Nelva M. Weber, this was the garden of George R. and Betty Vila. At the rear of the Colonial-style house Weber created a brick wall to enclose and separate a lawn and garden area from adjacent outbuildings and the open countryside. An elevated, brick-walled terrace with outdoor seating and brick walkways helped to unify the design. Garden borders, boxwood, and flowering trees and shrubs such as forsythia provided visual interest, while ornamental features included a bell, a martin house, and a whimsical fox sculpture atop one of the brick walls. Several wooden gates and doors provided additional decorative as well as utilitarian touches to the overall design.

Unidentified Garden in New Jersey: sundial on a rustic rock base.
General
Molly Adams credits Betsy Park as the sculptor of the sundial. Its inscription reads "I Wish Thee As Much Pleasure In The Reading As I Have Had In The Writing," a quote attributed to English poet Francis Quarles.
General
It is possible that this is the sundial in Anne's Garden located on the grounds of St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Gladstone, New Jersey. According to the May 20, 1971 issue of Bernardsville News, the sundial was given by Betsy Park's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Borman, in memory of their son-in-law Robert Wesley Schooley, Jr. who passed away in 1968. The sundial in Anne's Garden was dedicated in 1971.

General
The suburban property had enough land to plant roses and to treat them experimentally with pesticides and fungicides for the diseases that plagued American gardens. This property was the home of Cynthia Westcott, PhD., plant pathology. As a result of her work with private clients, as well as through her own publications, Westcott was known as the plant doctor. She noted that roses responded spectacularly to regular weekly care, making them good test subjects. Westcott wrote many books and articles on the care of roses and other garden ornamentals, she belonged to a number of professional societies, and she was honored for her work many times. Nurserymen Jackson and Perkins named the hybrid tea rose Cynthia for her.

Biographical / Historical
Dr. Cynthia Westcott earned the title "Plant Doctor" n 1932 after she learned few institutions hired women researchers, even ones like her with doctorates in plant pathology. Instead, wrote scholar R.K. Horst, Westcott conducted house calls like an old-fashioned doctor, helping prominent New Yorkers treat the diseases in their gardens. During World War II, the United States government asked Westcott to eradicate a fungus that decimated southern azaleas; she innovated a fungicide protocol in between lecturing on pest control in victory gardens. Although the nation knew her as a columnist for The New York Times and the author of The Plant Doctor and The Gardener's Bug Book, colleagues knew her as a Fellow of the American Phytopathological Society and garden clubs knew her as a prominent lecturer. New Jerseyans remembered her annual Rose Days, when she opened her Glen Ridge home to anyone seeking advice or a rose arrangement. She showed early researchers when the Jackson and Perkins Company named a hybrid tea rose "Cynthia" in her honor.

Little is known about this property. The front of the Ranch Style house with its entrance drive and minimal landscaping contrasted with the gardens at the side and rear of the property, which dropped off into woods and a view of nearby hills. White birch trees accented a stone terrace with outdoor seating, while a variety of shrubs and ground cover plants softened the edges of the hardscaping.

Scope and Contents
The folders include worksheets, garden plans, a narrative history of the property, photoprints, photocopies of articles about the garden, and additional information.
General
This 12-acre site is what remains of a property that once included as many as 740 acres. Ten generations of the Pitney family have owned or occupied the farm since its acquisition around 1722. An 1854 oil painting of the farm depicts the farmhouse and outbuildings along with a fenced garden. This garden space remains relatively unchanged today and serves as a cutting garden. John O. H. and Roberta Ballantine Pitney, who owned the property from 1911 to 1942, laid much of the groundwork for the current gardens. They restored and enlarged the house and built a gazebo, tennis court, and swimming pool. Many of their early tree and shrub plantings still thrive today. During the 1930s a brick-walled garden was added to the west side of the property. During the 1960s the currrent owners added two gardens directly outside the home. The first was a St. Francis garden, with a small circular fountain pond adorned by a statue of St. Francis and surrounded by plantings such as azaleas and rhododendrons. The second, an enclosed "breakfast room garden" on the east side of the house, features ornamental trees and shrubs, including an espaliered dogwood Cornus kousa and a Rhododendron carolinianum. The current owners have also transformed the walled garden into a rock garden, built raised beds in the vegetable garden, added a wild flower and native plant walk outside the walled garden, and planted more than 5,000 seedlings. With its 250-year-old maple tree allée, three fruit orchards, and numerous specimen tree and shrub plantings, Pitney Farm is an important arboretum property as well as an American-style garden.
General
Persons associated with the garden include: Jonathan Pitney (former owner, 1720s-1771); James and Desiah Thompson Pitney (former owners, 1771-1802); Mahlon and Rebecca Chidester Pitney (former owners, 1802-1834); Mahlon (2nd) and Lucetta Cooper Pitney (former owners, 1834-1863); Henry Cooper and Sarah Halsted Pitney (former owners, 1863-1911); John O. H. and Roberta Ballantine Pitney (former owners, 1911-1942); Robert H.

Noted especially for its extensive plantings of iris, the design of its gardens involved the work of both Fletcher Steele and Nelva M. Weber. In 1948 Steele designed expansive garden borders adjacent to the property's planting of strawberries and vegetables. Nelva M. Weber's later contribution involved a more intimate brick-walled garden area and featured a variety of perennials and shrubs. The property's rural setting provided views to the surrounding hills, while clipped linden trees highlighted the transition from the home to garden areas.
General
Persons associated with the garden include Fletcher Steele (landscape architect, 1948); Nelva M. Weber (landscape architect, ca. 1957); and Mr. and Mrs. Wellington B. Hay (former owners, ca. 1945-1976).

Mendham -- Three Fields
Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets, photocopied and downloaded material about the garden and Andrew Fletcher, and other information.
General
Three Fields, on Cherry Lane in Mendham, was the 49-acre estate of Andrew and Dorothea Camp Fletcher. The country setting lent itself well to the Norman-French style of the house, with its pink brick and tiled roof. A small orchard was located at the front of the property, while there was a large stone patio at the rear. There was also a terraced garden, a pool, and views of the surrounding hills and woodlands. Andrew Fletcher, who had served as mayor of Mendham, gave the property to the Borough of Mendham to hold in trust until a time after the death of his wife, who held a life interest, when its sale might be useful for the benefit of the Borough. This was done in May 1982 and the proceeds used to create the "Andrew Fletcher Three Fields Memorial Trust."
General
Persons associated with the garden include Andrew and Dorothea Camp Fletcher (former owners, ca. 1950-1980).

Mendham -- Unidentified Garden in Mendham, New Jersey on Corey Lane
Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and other information.
General
Little is known about this garden other than that it was apparently located on Corey Lane in Mendham. The number 1759, visible on image NJ413001, may indicate the date of the house's initial construction. Molly Adams lived nearby on Kennaday Road [Adams spelled it Kenneday on her personal letterhead], so this is probably a neighbor's property. Daylilies, hollyhocks (Alcea), and other traditional plantings predominated, while an arbor provided a comfortable transition from the street to the house. The photographs were probably taken between 1960 and 1980.

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and copies of a magazine article about the garden.
General
Nelva M. Weber designed the striking terrace garden for this home around 1963-64. The color scheme of white and green reflected the wishes of the property owners, who had painted their red brick house white upon acquiring it in the early 1960s. White was used throughout the design in plant material (azaleas, petunias, clematis), furniture, and garden accents, as well as in an all-white pool house. Green foliage in such plants as Ilex japonica and ivy offset the white, while a small perennial border masking a parking area provided a splash of color (albeit punctuated with white). Outdoor lighting combined with the white color scheme made the site particularly striking at night.
General
Persons associated with the garden include: Nelva M. Weber (landscape architect, ca. 1963-1966) and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Schuyler Williams (former owners, ca. 1963-1970).

Scope and Contents
The folders include worksheets, photocopies of articles about the garden, a garden plan, a plant list, and other information.
General
Under continuous development by the same owners for more than 50 years, this garden was once a municipal sand quarry. Despite warnings from a local landscaper that the site was "impossible," the owners persevered. Beginning with azaleas, rhododendrons, and wildflowers, they moved on to include hostas, hellebores, daylilies, primula, and other perennials in their planting scheme. They continue to collect and plant experimentally on the site.
Custodial History
The Short Hills Garden Club facilitated the submission of this garden's documentation.

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets, photocopies of articles, and write-ups of the property's history.
General
The Wallbridge Garden, approximately one acre, is located at the entrance to Taylor Park in Millburn, New Jersey. The garden is an ongoing community project of the Short Hills Garden Club. The garden features hybrid tea and grandiflora roses planted in concentric rings in wedge-shaped beds hedged with boxwood. At the center is a gazebo, with paths radiating out between and around the beds. Naturalized plantings of spring bulbs, ferns and sweet woodruff, specimen trees, yew hedges and lawns comprise the rest of Wallbridge Garden.
General
The garden is named for Mr. and Mrs. William K. Wallbridge, whose bequest provided the initial funds for the garden club's renovation. Planning for the garden began circa 1980 during a drought that limited water use, and a trickle hose system was installed in the rose beds that uses non-potable water stored in a tank. The rose beds are mulched with shredded leaves collected in the park.
General
An earlier garden at that location centered on a bandstand that had become derelict and was removed. Dead trees, deteriorating plants and wire waste baskets were removed, and sturdy wooden benches and trash receptacles were installed. Paths that had been blacktopped were revived with a covering of pea gravel set with hot oil. The original Wallbridge bequest has been supplemented through fund-raising activities of the garden club.
General
Persons associated with the garden include Mr. and Mrs. John Taylor (former owners prior to 1924); Township of Millburn, New Jersey (owner, May 1924 to present); Robert B. Heintz (architect of the gazebo, February 1981); Short Hills Garden Club (garden designers, planters and maintainers, 1981 to present).

General
This was the home of the late William Y. and Thelma Tipson Dear. In 1965 landscape architect Lois W. Poinier undertook an extensive design and installation project for the property, which is well-documented with both "before" and "after" images in the series. Poinier's plan featured an extensive herb and vegetable garden, complete with garden house, at the rear of the house, while the front of the property was highlighted by a tri-part brick walk with millstone insert. Molly Adams also photographed the property a number of years after the landscaping installation. Her images depict many aspects of the garden, including brick walkways, trellises, standards, and the overall form of the design.

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and other information.
General
With design work by Nelva M. Weber, this was the home of Dr. Inglis Folger Frost, a well-known physician who practiced in Morristown, New Jersey. The site is assumed to have been in the Morristown area, but may have been in nearby New Vernon. The suburban home featured spacious lawns surrounded by trees, and also incorporated specimen trees in the lawn areas. A long driveway was lined on one side by a pleached hedge. A low brick wall at the end of one of the lawns enclosed a small pool accented by whimsical frog and squirrel statues. An awning overhung a modest patio and outdoor living area, while the front of the house was landscaped with randomly placed shrubs and trees.
General
Persons associated with the garden include Nelva M. Weber (landscape architect, ca. 1965-1976) and Dr. Inglis Folger Frost (former owner, ca. 1965-1976).

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and other information.
General
Alice Recknagel Ireys began to design this garden in 1953, soon after the property was purchased by James Clemens and Ruth Hackney Chilcott. Ireys had already worked for the Chilcotts at their former home in Bernardsville, New Jersey. For this new garden, which featured an in-ground swimming pool, Ireys designed colorful garden borders backed by hedges for privacy. Lawns surrounded the house, while a terrace for outdoor dining and entertaining had an open view of the pool and nearby woodlands. A wide grass path bordered with lilacs outlined the area between the entrance court and a rose garden. A whimsical feature, pictured in Ireys' 1967 book, was a two-tiered shell fountain providing water for birds as well as the five Chilcott dogs. Molly Adams's photographs show the property at different seasons. Two of the contact print sheets are clearly dated October 1965, while other images are assumed to date from the same year. Additional documentation relating to the Chilcott Garden may be found in the Ireys papers in the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College.
General
Persons associated with the garden include: Alice Recknagel Ireys (landscape architect, 1953-) and James Clemens and Ruth Hackney Chilcott (former owners, 1953-1999).

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets, an unidentified 1960 newspaper article about the garden, and other information.
General
The home of Walter T. Margetts, Jr., and Josephine S. Margetts, Holly Hill Farms' gardens dated to 1926, when the property was owned by Henry Colgate. Following the Margetts' acquisition of the property in 1954, extensive plantings of hollies (25 varieties) and other trees and shrubs, including cotoneaster, were undertaken. Garden features included a vine-covered pergola and seasonal borders of bulbs and perennials. The 78-acre site also housed a nursery, a Christmas tree plantation, and grassland and pasture for two horses, whose manure was used in the gardens, including the vegetable garden.

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and other information.
General
With design work by Nelva M. Weber, this site's key feature was a brick patio enclosed on three sides by its colonial revival house. Accented by a honey locust tree, the patio included ample outdoor seating On its open end stood a sundial and stairs climbing to a lawn, with a meadow and trees beyond. A brick walk led around the house to a lower level gated garden that appears to have featured an ornate wall fountain. Eventually one reached a boxwood bordered lawn area with an ornamental stone bench on one side. The site's spacious country setting provided numerous viewpoints across the lawns to surrounding trees and woodlands.
General
Persons associated with the garden include Nelva M. Weber (landscape architect, ca. 1973) and Winston Keith (former owner, ca. 1973).

General
The home of Gustav H. and Jane Crowley Koven was photographed twice by Molly Adams: once before 1976 and again in 1985. Nelva M. Weber's design for the property featured a tree-lined driveway leading to house, which was slightly elevated from the driveway level and set off by a brick wall and stairs. By 1985 two garden areas had been developed adjacent to an in-ground swimming pool, one for flowers and the other for vegetables. Surrounding woods contrasted with the openness of the grounds around the house.

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and other information.
General
The McShane Garden featured design work by landscape architect Nelva M. Weber. The back of the irregularly shaped house was delineated by a stone wall outlining terrace and lawn areas. One free-form flagstone terrace, flush with its adjacent lawn, provided ample space for outdoor living and entertaining. Two sets of stone stairs led down to more lawns, a swimming pool, and an adjacent bath house and sunning area. Weber designed a wide paving border to the pool to prevent grass clippings from entering the water. The front of the house was reached by a curved walk from the driveway and featured a variety of shrubs, trees, and plant containers, including a window box. More shrubs and trees were found at the back of the house, with views of the property's adjacent woodlands.
General
Persons associated with the garden include: Nelva M. Weber (landscape architect, 1973) and Gordon and Mary McShane (former owners, 1973).

General
According to an excerpt from a garden tour program, this was the garden of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Lake Bower and complemented a contemporary home designed by Emil Schmidlin that won the New Jersey Society of Architects 1953 Award of Merit for excellence in design. Although Alice L. Dustan landscaped the area immediately around the house, the rest of the property remained heavily wooded or was planted with shrubs and fruit trees, and included striking views across the countryside. Punctuating the landscaping were several bird feeders, reflecting the Bowers's devotion to ornithology (Wing Haven was a banding station of the Fish and Wildlife Service). It is possible that the Bowers are the same Francis Lake Bower and Winifred Ferry Bower who are buried in Greenridge Cemetery in Saratoga Springs, New York, and the birth and death dates of these individuals are included in their index entries.

New Vernon -- Zenker Garden
Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and other information.
General
Molly Adams labelled the sleeve in which the negatives for this garden were found "Weber Zenker July '73," so it is reasonably certain that the negatives are of this site and time. However, images of another garden, NJ108 (Buttonbrook in Far Hills, NJ) were also found in this same sleeve, while the three contact prints, which show a developed garden, may or may not be the same site depicted in the negatives. In the absence of further information all six images have been identified as the Zenker Garden. One of the contact prints is an image included in Nelva M. Weber's 1976 book, How to Plan Your Own Home Landscape, establishing an upper cutoff date for the garden images of 1976. The negatives depict the construction site of a new home, while the three contact prints show a raised bed garden, a driveway and parking area, and a vine covered areaway adjacent to tool storage.
General
Persons associated with the garden include: Nelva M. Weber (landscape architect, 1973) and Dr. David Ogden and Jeanne Tucker Zenker (former owners, ca. 1973-2000).

Scope and Contents
The folders include work sheets and narrative descriptions.
General
Ellistan is a country property with views of the surrounding open fields and hills. The name came from Ellistan Boy, the horse that dropped dead after jumping a fence on the property during the Jersey Hunt Cup Race in 1919. Originally, the estate was a self-contained farm with no trees. Trees were planted in the 1930s. The garden areas consist of the formal garden including the water lily pool, the terrace garden, and the children's garden. The main garden is an "old-fashioned" formal garden with straight paths, walls, hedges and deep herbaceous borders. To the east, a hurdle fence with Coral Dawn and Eden roses frames the perennial bed. The terrace garden, at the back of the main house, is designed as an evening garden.

Peapack -- Vernon Manor II
Scope and Contents
The folders include worksheets, designs and planting plans from 1971-1973 and 1975, correspondence, and photocopies of an article about the property.
General
Vernon Manor II was built around 1970 by Edith Blair Gambrill, whose former home, Vernon Manor I (she retained the name for her new home) is also included in the Archives of American Gardens (see NJ107). The gardens were designed by Nelva M. Weber and featured a marble fountain (brought from Vernon Manor I) in the midst of formal gardens and terraces, as well as plantings to provide cover and food for birds (reflecting a primary interest of the property owner).
General
The 1989 closing date reflects the date of duplication of some of the slides; original images were created between 1971 and 1979.

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and other information.
General
Designed by Alice Recknagel Ireys, this garden belonged to William Stuart and Jean Auchincloss. Mr. Auchincloss was president of the Schnell Publishing Company, while Mrs. Auchincloss played a major role in the development of the Milburn Library in the 1930s. Ireys' plan for the grounds around the Tudor-style house featured stone walls, walks, and patio. Mature trees, both evergreen and deciduous, provided anchorage for a lawn area surrounded by garden borders, some of which were outlined in box. Ground cover plants, rhododendrons, and other shrubs softened the stone work and with the trees gave the garden an atmosphere of privacy and intimacy.
General
A contact sheet duplicating images NJ467015 through NJ467019, as well as images of NJ488, has been filed under the latter garden number. Additional documentation relating to the Auchincloss garden is in the Alice Recknagel Ireys papers in the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College.
General
Persons associated with the garden include: Alice Recknagel Ireys (landscape architect, 1965-1973) and William Stuart and Jean Auchincloss (former owners, circa 1965-1973).

Scope and Contents

General
Alice Recknagel Ireys began design work for this garden around 1969 and appears to have continued her association over the next ten years. The Dutch colonial house, built in 1928, was in a wooded setting with spacious lawns. Ireys utilized both brick and stone to create a walled patio and took advantage of the property's elevation change to design stone stairs leading to a slightly higher level above the patio. Several images show the project during the installation phase. The 1971 date is assumed from the date shown on the verso of one of the proof sheets for another garden whose images share that proof sheet with some of the Laporte property. Additional documentation relating to the Laporte Garden may be found in the Ireys papers in the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College.
General
Persons associated with the garden include: Alice Recknagel Ireys (landscape architect, circa 1969-1979) and John Henry and Donna Laporte (former owners, circa 1960-1979).

Somerset Hills -- Finch Garden
Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets, photocopied articles about the garden and the Finches, clippings, and other information.
General
This 3.5 acre Basking Ridge property was the home of Elfreda and Tudor R. Finch. Elfreda Finch was a garden writer as well as an avid garden designer, gardener, and flower arranger, and along with her husband created outstanding rock and swamp gardens on the site. She was also allied with Molly Adams in preservation efforts relating to the Great Swamp. The Finches' swamp garden was especially well known for its use of native plants and its 70 varieties of ferns. The garden overall was not limited to these two specialties, however, and a 130 foot long border filled with bulbs, annuals, and perennials outlined the house's lawn area. Finch used shrubs such as yews and other evergreens to give a feeling of unity to the design, and underplanted them with a variety of ground covers. Another garden area incorporated the Japanese motif of raked sand with yucca and other plantings to suggest an arid, desert-like setting.
General
Persons associated with the garden include Elfreda and Tudor R. Finch (former owners, ca. 1950-1980).

General
A picturesque stone springhouse and adjacent pond with willows were highlights of this garden, located in the "horse country" of northern New Jersey. An awninged terrace provided space for outdoor living close by a swimming pool. Informally planted beds of shrubs and perennials complemented the house and served as a buffer against the surrounding fields and pastures.

General
Probably located in Somerset Hills, New Jersey, Landfall was the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Bourne. A country estate, it featured a traditional Georgian Style brick house. A flagstone terrace was flanked by perennial and shrub borders and provided seating to enjoy views of surrounding garden areas, lawns, woods, and countryside. Featured plants included iris, lupine, weeping cherry, yew, and red cedar. Images 001-004 may be of another garden, although they were printed on the same contact sheet as those that are clearly identifiable as Landfall.

General
Little is known about this garden in northern New Jersey. It was situated around a Georgian style mansion with a Corinthian-columned porch/portico. Extensive lawns and garden borders provided vistas to and from the house. Mature wisteria flanked the porch/portico, while an intricate knot-like planting of boxwood was a unique feature. The gardens were surrounded by woodlands, providing privacy as well as a contrast to the landscape plantings.

Biographical / Historical
It is likely that Julian Abele (1881-1950), one of the first prominent African American architects of the early twentieth century, should be credited for his design work on this project. Abele started working for Horace Trumbauer's all-white firm around 1902 after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania School of Architecture. Abele was sent by Trumbauer to study in Paris at one of the most prestigious art schools, the École, until 1906. He returned to work as the assistant to the firm's chief designer but was quickly promoted to chief designer in 1909. Between 1909 and Trumbauer's death in 1938, Abele worked on dozens, if not hundreds, of projects for the firm, predominately uncredited. Though it was custom at the time to attribute architectural designs to the head of the firm instead of the individual designers, it is notable that an early pioneering African American architect likely contributed to this project.

Scope and Contents
The folders include worksheets, correspondence, a photocopy of a book section about the garden, and other information.
General
Four Oaks Farm was the home of noted bibliophile Mary Morley Crapo Hyde, Viscountess Eccles. Gardener George Knapp was responsible for much of the five-acre site's design, although Nelva M. Weber and Alfred Geiffert also contributed their expertise. Surrounding an 18th-century farmhouse with an added Greek Revival portico, the garden was started in 1946. Existing brick and cobblestone terraces provided a basis for the overall design, which involved the development of individual garden areas adjacent to the terraces, among other features. Water was highlighted in several locations, including a small pool overlooked by a statue of Shakespeare, a pond made by damming an old creek, and another creek whose banks were planted with Japanese iris, hemlock, and other shrubs. Individual garden areas included a walled garden, a crabapple garden, a vegetable and cutting garden, and the Bear Garden, named for a bear fountain set against the brick wall of this space. Shade trees and views of surrounding sheep and cow pastures and the Raritan River enhanced the rural setting of the site.

Scope and Contents
The folders include work sheets, a brochure, a narrative description of her visit to the collection (in New Jersey) by photographer Molly Adams, and other information.
General
This was the private garden of William T. Gotelli, a building contractor and collector of dwarf and slow-growing conifers. With design assistance from landscape architect John J. Jennings, Gotelli amassed about 1,500 specimens within a 15-year period from nurseries, estates, and botanical gardens in the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. Thirty genera were represented by numerous varieties of fir, cedar, false cypress (Chamaecyparis), juniper, spruce, pine, Cryptomeria, yew, arborvitae, hemlock , and other genera. Considered to be one of the most extensive collections of its type, all of the plants, rocks, sculpture, and other features were donated by Gotelli to the United States National Arboretum in 1962 and were removed to Washington, D.C., where they are known as the Gotelli Dwarf and Slow-Growing Conifer Collection. A virtual tour of the collection as it presently exists may be found on the arboretum's website.

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and other information.
General
This was the home and garden of Lester A. and Inez Persy Crone, and was situated on a densely wooded site. Stone walls set off flowering borders of spring bulbs, while rhododendron and other shrubs provided a backdrop leading to the woods. Trees, however, were interspersed throughout the grounds, and rustic walkways wound amongst them, flanked by naturalistic plantings. A small lawn area provided a spot for outdoor seating. Despite the property's suburban location, the overall feel of the garden was of a much more rural and rustic site.
General
Persons associated with the garden include Lester A. Crone and Inez Persy Crone (former owners, ca. 1940-1970).

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and other information.
General
Little is known about this garden at the home of Mrs. J. Z. Millar, photographed by Molly Adams during its peak springtime bloom. Borders and beds featured daffodils and tulips and were bordered with boxwood. Flowering trees, evergreens, and a lawn were accented by a cast iron bench and a birdbath. A charming note is added to several shots by the inclusion of a little girl (probably Mrs. Millar's granddaughter) and her toy stuffed tiger.
General
Persons associated with the garden include Mrs. J. Z. Millar (former owner, ca. 1960-1980).

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets, maps and other information.
General
During the Revolutionary era, the area was part of a farm. An estate, once known as The Clearing, was created on the site in 1889 by John Hornor Wisner. He built the present Colonial revival residence, which now serves as the administrative and educational center for the Arboretum. Mr. Wisner plotted the original gardens and Mrs. Wisner planted the first daffodils. Each April the daffodil display, enlarged from earlier times, is a major Arboretum attraction. In 1916, the new owners, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Reeves, hired a New York landscape architect to develop an overall design for the property. Mrs. Reeves was also a member of the Summit Garden Club. The Reeves family increased the daffodil plantings and, around 1925, started the rose garden. The Charles L. Reed family became the last private owners in the 1960s, adding the herb garden and creating the woodland trails.
General
The property became a public institution, the Reeves-Reed Arboretum, in 1974, when Summit citizens acted to protect the 12.5 acres of woodlands, glacial contours and dells, rolling lawns, and inspired gardens from encroaching development.
General
Persons associated with the garden include John and Isabelle Wisner (former owners, 1888-1918); Richard E. Reeves and Susie Graham Reeves (former owners, 1918-1968); Charles L. Reeves, Jr. and Ann Reeves Reed (former owners, 1968-1974); Calvert Vaux (landscape architect); Ellen Shipman (landscape architect); Carl F. Pilat (landscape architect, 1925); Babb, Cook & Willard (New York City, architect); Wodell & Cottrell (garden designers).

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and other information.
General
This site was apparently a favorite of Nelva M. Weber, for it is featured several times in her 1976 book. Despite this prominence, however, its identification has proved to be elusive, although it was probably in New Jersey. Two outdoor living areas--a roofed brick patio and an open flagstone terrace--were highlights of the design that complemented the colonial-style house. The roofed patio provided a shaded space from which to view an expansive lawn with a gazebo on its far side. The flagstone terrace was built around a large shade tree, but also bordered a large lawn and was backed by other trees and shrubs. This country estate also featured grass walkways with hosta borders, a decorative brick walkway with a millstone center, and a wooden fence with espaliers at the entrance to the property leading in to the house from the driveway and parking area.
General
Persons associated with the garden include Nelva M. Weber (landscape architect, ca. 1965-1973).

Scope and Contents
The folders include worksheets, an abbreviated garden plan, a plan of the parterre garden, photocopies of articles about the garden, and a letter from Henrietta Lockwood to Nelva M. Weber.
General
This garden in Westchester County was established in 1938 on an old farm. The owners, John and Henrietta Lockwood, began a process of remodeling, design, and land development that continued for over 60 years until Mrs. Lockwood's death. Growing places may be found throughout the multi-acre property (of the eventual 100+ acres all but 13 have been deeded to a local nature conservancy). A lean-to greenhouse on the north end of the kitchen wing provides the winter display area for streptocarpus, camellias and other potted plants. It is here that seeds of all sorts are sown and grown under fluorescent light until they are large enough to be taken to the much larger greenhouse across the drive. A winding path through a grassy meadow planted with apple trees leads from the house to the flower and vegetable gardens. The site now features a patterned design based on a medieval, four-part parterre garden--two diamond shapes and two round--using bricks as edging for the beds, and also includes four iron umbrella tripods that serve as supports for clematis. Beyond the flower garden is an extensive vegetable garden and berry patch that produce fresh summer harvests for the table as well as the freezer. Many varieties of clematis are found tumbling informally atop stone walls, weaving through bushes and climbing obediently up the tan house walls, reflecting the owner's passion for this plant. Daphne is another particular favorite.
General
Each fall on the east side of the guest house an ingenious portable greenhouse is erected to house many tender potted plants, particularly winter-flowering camellias. Nearby a rock ledge forms a terrace for the guest house; beyond is a severe drop into the cool, dark woods. Featured plants in this area include yellow corydalis, mimosa trees, ferns, and woodland flowers. Just outside the guest house potted fig trees and an arbor of grapes provide shade. Inside the main house is a tiny greenhouse. To the rear of the house, along the edge of the brick terrace, blue pansies bloom with spring flowers and are later joined by pots of standard fuchsias and roses. The old well house still stands in the middle of a brick terrace surround by white alyssum volunteers. Beautiful clay pots of unusual collected plants are everywhere. This is a perfect country garden with its meadow views and unusual plant combinations, a tribute to its owners' lifelong devotion to its design, development, and care.
General
Persons associated with the garden include: John E. and Henrietta Sedgwick Lockwood (former owners, 1938-2001); the Bulloch family (former owners, before 1938); Nelva M. Weber (landscape architect); and Robin Zitter (horticulturist and gardener, 1984 to date).

General
Located in Brooklyn Heights, this home garden was designed by Alice Recknagel Ireys. Working within a narrow, confined space, she prepared a design that provided variety in texture and plant material. A more formal bricked area near the house featured urns and a cast-iron bench. Beyond this was a more naturalistic part of the garden, with white birch trees marking the division between the two spaces. Wooden fencing and latticework provided support for climbing plants and the background for a large birdhouse.

General
Molly Adams photographed landscape architect Alice Recknagel Ireys' home garden on two separate occasions. The first was in September 1964, while the second was in 1965, probably in high summer. Working within a narrow, confined space, Ireys incorporated variety in texture and plant material into her design. A brick patio area near the house that provided room for outdoor living led to a slightly raised flagstone terrace toward the rear. Although the entire property was bounded by wooden and chain link fencing, the effect was softened by the use of shrubs, climbing plants, and small trees suitable to the shady location. There was a small water feature and the 1965 images show the addition of a striking piece of sculpture at the far end of the garden.

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and photocopies.
General
A 17-acre property with formal gardens on three sides of the French and Palladian style house, designed by the owner, landscape architect Diego Suarez, in 1952. The house was approached from a long driveway to a rectilinear white gravel courtyard bordered by lawn surrounded by a tall hedge of clipped yews. Other gardens include a sunken rectangular reflecting pool behind the house. There is a horseshoe shaped allée of 80 linden trees. Clipped yew hedges formed the base around other stands of trees, demarcated entrances, and in at least one instance were given a whimsical shape. The rectilinear courtyard was echoed by straight-sided containers for shrubs or small trees at the front of the house. There were many statues on the roof of the house and on the grounds of the estate, in keeping with its neo-classical design, and a gracefully curved stairway.
General
Diego Suarez and Evelyn Marshall Field Suarez (former owners, 1952-unknown); Frederic Rhinelander King (architect, c. 1950).

General
This garden was designed by landscape architect Alice Recknagel Ireys and incorporated plants, such as a mature Styrax japonica, moved from the client's former home. Ireys's design took advantage of existing trees on the site, but also included new plantings such as ground covers and flowering trees, especially at the front and sides of the house. A stone-walled terrace at the back of the house took advantage of the natural slope of the property. Its base provided the setting for the Styrax japonica, which was underplanted with roses.

General
This garden was designed by landscape architect Clara Stimson Coffey. Decks at the back of the home took advantage of views across a broad expanse of lawn leading to Long Island Sound. Shrubs such as Andorra junipers and viburnum were planted near the mid-century modern ranch style house, while spring interest was provided by wisteria, peonies, and candytuft. Weeping trees, including rosebud cherries and hemlock, embraced a Chinese sculpture elsewhere on the grounds.

Scope and Contents
The folders include work sheets, a 1963 description of the garden by Charles D. Webster, a garden plan, a map of the area, and a copy of an article about the property.
General
Twyford was the home of Charles D. and Natalie Peters Webster on the south shore of Long Island. Although the entire property encompassed nearly 200 acres, the gardens, house, and outbuildings were confined to 10 acres, which in turn was part of a 30-acre tract of open fields, marshland, and woods. The Websters began gardening in 1936, when they moved to the late 19th-century house. Formal beds and paths and other designs were complemented by a greenhouse, potting house and tool shed, and an octagonal lathhouse. Other features included a swimming pool, extensive borders and planting of broad-leaved evergreens, lawns, a waterfowl pool, and a farmyard. The property was given by the Websters to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1968 (with life tenancy). The house and other buildings were demolished in 2002 despite the efforts of several preservation groups to save them.
General
Persons and organizations associated with the property include: Charles D. Webster (former owner, d. 1998); Natalie Peters Webster (former owner); and Nelva M. Weber (landscape architect, c. 1960-1973).

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and other information.
General
This was the home garden of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Feil. Feil was a landscape designer and nurseryman in Lynbrook, New York, who was a regular supplier of plants to landscape architect Alice Recknagel Ireys. The half-acre garden included azaleas, hollies, rhododendrons, and evergreens, as well as specimen trees, shrubs, and ground cover plants. Photographs of the garden, a plant list, and a detailed garden plan were included in Ireys' 1967 book. Rhododendrons were a particular interest of Feil's and several varieties included in the plant list were ones that he entered in American Rhododendron Society competitions. Correspondence between Molly Adams and Alice Recknagel Ireys as well as one of the captions in Ireys' book suggests a probable shoot date of May 1965 for the images.

General
Kiluna Farm was the Long Island country estate of Barbara and William S. Paley and featured work by several noted landscape architects including Alice Recknagel Ireys, Russell Page, Thomas D. Church, Henry Francis du Pont, and the firm of Innocenti & Webel. The garden's design focused on a dell "transformed into a well-defined, planted punch bowl, with a large oval pond in the center, set in an inner frame of lawn, with an outer frame of ground covers, low evergreens, flowering trees and shrubs." Azaleas, rhododendrons, and mountain laurel were underpinned by more than 20 varieties of ground cover plants. The property also featured a vegetable garden and greenhouses.
General
Persons associated with the garden include: Barbara and William S. Paley (former owners, ca. 1947-1990); Alice Recknagel Ireys (landscape architect); Russell Page (landscape architect); Thomas D.

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and other information.
General
Although Alice Recknagel Ireys worked on the design of the Merson garden between 1955 and 1970, the images in this series were taken no later than 1967, since several of them are featured in her book of that year. The Merson's large Georgian house was built in the middle of a field, so Ireys' design included plenty of trees and shrubs to frame and soften its rather formal entrance. Azaleas provided springtime bloom at both the main entrance and elsewhere, while laurel, hollies, andromeda, and myrtle were used for year-round green affect. A terrace at the rear of the house was accented by a honey locust and a dogwood, while holly hedges separated a broad lawn area from surrounding woods and delineated a parking area from the rest of the property.
General
Additional documentation relating to the garden may be found in the Alice Recknagel Ireys papers in the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College.

General
This was one of two gardens belonging to Robert Edward and Ethel Halsey Blum that were photographed by Molly Adams (the other is NY969). Landscape architect Alice Recknagel Ireys played a major role in the garden's design over the years. A distinctive wisteria pergola complemented the Dutch Colonial style house, providing an elevated viewing platform over the rest of the garden. Extensive annual and perennial borders, substantial stone hardscaping, and a variety of specimen trees and shrubs completed the site.

General
Little is known about this roof garden on the Upper East Side in New York City. A brick wall topped with raised beds of shrubs, small trees, and flowers surrounded an outdoor seating area with striking views of such landmarks as the Chrysler and Pan Am buildings. A "country" touch was provided by white picket fencing, while latticework provided support for climbing plants. A notation by Molly Adams on the original negative enclosure suggests that the images may have been taken for publication in the New York Times, although it isn't known whether publication ever took place.

New York -- Mount Vernon Hotel Museum and Gardens
Scope and Contents
The folders include worksheets and other information.
General
Formerly known as the Abigail Adams Smith Museum, this site is located on East 61st Street in New York City and was once part of a 23-acre estate. Following the acquisition of the property by the Colonial Dames of America in 1933, landscape architect Mary Deputy Cattell was commissioned to design an 18th-century style garden that featured espaliered ivy trained on fences, and plant material, bulbs, and flowering shrubs typical of that period. Some years later, following expansion of the site through the purchase of an adjacent building, the garden was redesigned by Alice Recknagel Ireys into its present form.
General
Persons associated with the garden include: Mary Deputy Cattell (landscape architect, 1930s); and Alice Recknagel Ireys (landscape architect).

General
Little is known about this small garden. Separated from its townhouse neighbors by a stockade fence, it featured a flagstone patio and seating area. A wall fountain was flanked by potted plants, while small trees in this and neighboring areas accented the scene. The images appear to have been taken from underneath an awning at the rear of the owner's property.

General
Featured in a New York Times article, this small (19' x 40') garden was designed by Friede R. Stege. Surrounded on three sides by a wooden fence for privacy, the garden featured two terrace levels separated by brick steps. The slight elevation of the upper level added to the spacious feel of the design, while the lower level was in essence an extension of the living room. Beds and borders edged in brick were planted with bulbs and perennials, while a variety of trees and shrubs--Japanese holly, rhododendron, flowering crabs, azaleas, andromeda, and others--completed the design.

General
Located on the roof of the Hospital for Special Surgery on East 70th Street, this was the private garden of the hospital's administrator, T. Gordon Young, who lived at the hospital with his family from 1954 to 1977. It featured a rock garden with an Asian sculpture and an outdoor seating area. The garden overlooked the East River southward to the Queensboro Bridge (also known as the 59th Street Bridge) and what is now the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center. Following Young's departure from the hospital the garden was no longer maintained. Several individuals contributed to the identification of this garden including Nora Lockshin, Michael D. Lockshin, M.D.; David B. Levine, M.D.; and Brad Hess.

General
Little is known about this garden in a heavily wooded Westchester County setting. The contemporary house featured a balcony extending the entire length of the second floor, with a brick terrace supported by a massive brick retaining wall at one end. Because of the significant slope of the property the main entrance to the house was on the second floor level, and this relatively flat area featured a brick walkway bordered with spring bulbs and shrubs. Additional garden borders and beds were found elsewhere on the site.

General
This was one of two gardens belonging to Robert Edward and Ethel Halsey Blum that were photographed by Molly Adams (the other is NY806). Its landscaping, also by Alice Recknagel Ireys, dates to the early 1960s, a later time period than its predecessor. The ranch style house was situated on a steeply sloping site, with its main level actually being the "second" floor. Native trees such as white birch and pine were included in the design along with traditional garden borders, ground cover plants, and a circular pool in the lawn area of the upper level. A trailing wisteria at the back of the house on the lower level provided an echo of the wisteria pergola at the Blums' previous home.

General
This site took advantage of its seaside location in its landscape design and planting. The landscaping includes extensive use of beach grasses, pines, and native plants in a naturalized setting. Container gardening may be found in areas adjacent to the site's built structures. Architect Paul Rudolph created the original ideas and drawings for the house in 1969, but the actual construction greatly altered them and for many years it was generally believed that the project was never built. Nelva M. Weber was the landscape architect, with a design dating to about 1972 (see Weber Papers at Cornell University).

Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets, photocopies of publications featuring the garden, and other information.
General
This garden, designed by Alice Recknagel Ireys, complemented a contemporary house that was situated along Long Island Sound. The house was built on the site of a previous one destroyed by fire and was focused around a Norway maple that had survived the blaze. A creative use of rocks, water, and plantings gave a naturalistic Japanese feel to landscaped areas adjacent to the raised deck/terrace. A stone patio/terrace with ample seating provided a view across what appears to have been a swimming pool to the Sound, with its complement of small boats. Elsewhere, lawns and shade trees evinced a more conventional approach to design.

Scope and Contents
The folders include worksheets and other information.
General
Alice Recknagel Ireys was the landscape architect for this property. Taking advantage of the site's water views, Ireys designed an expansive stone terrace that was used for dining and other outdoor living functions. A side of the home away from the water featured an allée of decorative trees that were underplanted with annuals in season. Planting immediately around the house appears to have been limited in order not to obstruct the water views, although a 2009 description mentions rose and iris beds, bsoxwood, a cutting garden, and daylilies.

General
Alice Recknagel Ireys designed the landscaping around this Cape Cod style home in a woodland setting. Photographs, plant lists, and designs for several features were included in Ireys' 1967 book. A small flagstone terrace provided space for outdoor living adjacent to the lawn and was ornamented by a climbing rose and wisteria. Pink azaleas and a white dogwood lined the home's front entrance. A hemlock hedge at the side of the house masked the garage courtyard from view of the flagstone terrace.

General
"Boxly" was originally established by Joseph Du Barry (a friend of Joseph Bonaparte) as "Mulberry Farm." The property was the center of an unsuccessful silk industry in the early 19th century. It was later purchased by the famous efficiency engineer Frederick Winslow Taylor, who built the first undulating putting green (for golf) in America at the property. He renamed it "Boxly" because of its then 100-year-old boxwood bushes. The property was redesigned in the 1950s and 1960s.

Founded by Archer M. and Anna Hyatt Huntington in 1931, Brookgreen Gardens is both a sculpture and landscape garden and a botanical preserve focusing on plants and animals of the Southeast. Located on the site of former indigo and rice plantations, Brookgreen encompasses over 9,000 acres and includes eight distinct habitat areas: beach and dunes, salt marshes, maritime forest, loblolly pine swamps, long-leaf pine ridges, river terrace, freshwater cypress-gum swamps, and abandoned rice fields. There are over 500 works of sculpture, making it the largest permanent outdoor exhibition of American sculpture in the world. Likewise, the botanical collection includes over 2,000 species and subspecies of plants native and adapted to the Southeast. Ponds and other bodies of water complement the more formal plantings which include several arboreta, a palmetto garden, a dogwood garden, and a magnolia allée. The gardens are open to the public.

Coffey Garden
Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets and biographical information about Clara Coffey.
General
There is a remote possibility that this garden, whose location cannot be determined, was designed by and was the home of Clara Stimson Coffey, a landscape architect who was Chief of Tree Plantings with the City of New York Department of Parks & Recreation. The garden featured borders, some climbing plants, and woodland paths. The overall effect was one of understatement that complemented the contemporary design of the house and its placement in a wooded setting.

Little is known about this site, which featured a colonial-style house set in an open location bordered by woods. The five images appear on the same proof sheet as images of NJ436, the Keith Garden, which was located in New Vernon, New Jersey, so it is possible that this site was nearby. Because images of the Keith Garden were included in Nelva M. Weber's 1976 book, "How to Plan Your Own Home Landscape," 1976 has been designated as the upper cutoff date for the ADM043 images as well.

This garden, which appears to have been in a suburban setting, featured a broad driveway highlighted by lawns, shrubs, and a circular garden area in front of the main entrance to the home. At the back of the house a terrace accented by garden borders overlooked a fence-enclosed lawn planted with specimen trees. One of the contact prints included on the sheet in the file is not of the Converse Garden, but is of a street scene, possibly Garden City, New York, the business district of which had benefitted from landscape design by Alice Recknagel Ireys in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The location of the Converse Garden, however, is not known.

General
Portions of this garden, which appears to have been in a suburban or rural setting, had apparently been newly installed at the time these photographs were taken. A highlight of the design was a raised-bed vegetable garden surrounded by stone-walled terraces and a wooden fence. The site also featured additional stone walls,walks and stairs; perennial borders; flowering shrubs and roses adjacent to and amidst wooded areas; and a swimming pool. The exact location of the property is not known.

Scope and Contents

General
Unlike many unidentified gardens for which only one or two images exist, this large site is represented by multiple images. These negatives were at one time associated with CT320, the Gund Garden in Fairfield, Connecticut; close visual examination has shown them to be of another site or sites. Thirteen photographs are clearly depict the same location and show individual garden areas surrounding a house in a spacious suburban setting. On one side of the house a pergola divides two separate garden and lawn areas, each with its own planting and seating arrangements (see images ADM047006 and ADM047011). On the other side of the house are semi-raised planting beds. Because of their previous association with the Gund Garden it is possible that the images were taken in or near the same location, Fairfield, Connecticut, and at the same time, June 1969. One of the images, ADM047016, is included in Rhoda Specht [Maxwell] Tarantino's 1972 book Small Gardens Are More Fun, providing a basis for narrowing the date range to ca. 1960-1972. That image and three others, however, do not "fit" clearly with the other 13 images in the series, raising questions about whether they indeed depict the same location.

Waterman Garden
Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets.
General
This garden appears to have been situated in a rural area amidst woods and fields. The central feature of the site was an herb and perennial garden punctuated by a flagstone walk. Although the location of the property is not identified in Molly Adams's files, there is a remote possibility that this was the William W. Waterman Garden in Gordonsville, Virginia, designed by Alice Recknagel Ireys (included on Irey's client list). Verification of this, however, cannot be determined without corroborating visual evidence. Moreover, it would have been very unusual for Molly Adams to travel so far from her base in northern New Jersey to photograph what appears to have been a minor job, both in terms of garden size and number of images.

Scully Garden
Scope and Contents
The folder includes worksheets.
General
Landscape architect Nelva M. Weber appears to have been designed the hardscaping and plantings for this site. References to a client named Scully, along with an October 1971 date, appear in her papers at Cornell University; the client name and this date are repeated in Molly Adams's hand on the storage enclosure for these images found in Adams's files. Two decks, a stone wall, and a stone walk were features of the garden, which was in a wooded setting, perhaps in New Jersey.However, the exact location of the property is not known. The negatives and two sets of contact prints duplicate one another.
General
Persons associated with the garden include Nelva M. Weber (landscape architect).

Although it is possible that the garden was in Short Hills, New Jersey, there is no way to verify this, and so the garden has been identified only as being in the United States. The site featured a brick house, swimming pool, and outdoor seating and dining areas.

Based on a written notation in Molly Adams's hand, It is possible that the landscaping for this rural site was designed by Alice Recknagel Ireys, although this attribution has not been confirmed. The site was dominated by a swimming pool and a large house complemented by foundation planting and a flagstone patio with outdoor seating. Stone and brick walls, specimen trees, and shrubs completed the design. The exact location of the property is not known.

This garden was in a heavily wooded, probably rural setting. It featured annual borders as well as a shrub and tree-enclosed central garden area edged by borders. A sundial and small flower bed surrounded by lawns lay within this enclosed garden space. The property's brick house was situated on a slight rise above the garden; ivy and pachysandra-edged paths led from the gardens to the house. The exact location of the property is not known.

This garden site appears to have been in a suburban area, but with woods nearby. The two similar images show what appears to be a Colonial style home set off from a large lawn and adjacent parking area by dense hedges. A specimen tree highlights the lawn near the house. The exact location of the property is not known.

It is possible that the images associated with this folder actually depict two different gardens. One image shows a small, old farmhouse or cottage with a vine-covered porch. The other image is of a rail fence-enclosed garden of herbs, rhubarb, and other plants beyond which lies an orchard. The precise, professional labeling of the plants in this garden as well as its overall design suggests that it may have been associated with an historical or public garden site; this may also have been the case with the house depicted in the other image. However, without corroborating evidence the exact location of the property or properties remains unknown.

The dog shown in image ADM085001 associated with this garden appears to be the same animal shown in image NJ227039 (Vernon Manor II in Peapack, NJ). The completely house styles found in the images of these two sites, however, seem to indicate that they are different locations. The dog may have belonged to photographer MoIly Adams and simply accompanied her on these and other shoots. Images in ADM085 show a farmhouse with patio and lawns, accented by trees and shrubs. The exact location of the property is not known.

General
The images associated with this garden document what appears to be a newly installed flagstone patio and walkways for a suburban residential site. Expansive lawns and shrubs served as framers and accents. It is possible that the design was by Alice Recknagel Ireys; the name "Alice" is written across two of the images. The same or similar images have not been found in Ireys' book, "How to Plan & Plant Your Own Property," (for which Molly Adams did much of the photography); further research in Ireys's papers at Smith College may result in a positive identification. At this time the exact location of the property is not known.

General
It is possible that this garden includes two different locations, since two rather different houses are depicted in separate images. One of them is a large Colonial revival style residence sited on spacious grounds, while the other is more modest and has more of a suburban feel. Garden images feature roses, perennials, raised beds, lawns, shrubs, trees, and other elements. The exact location of the property or properties is unknown.

General
This geometrically designed yet informal garden appears to have been in a semi-rural setting, given the presence of a high, wire-mesh fence, presumably to prevent deer incursion. It featured densely planted borders and beds of annuals and perennials as well as a charming cottage. The exact location of the property is unknown.

This site featured a plaza complementing what appears to have been a public building, such as a municipal hall. Benches, sculpture, and a few tree and shrub plantings highlighted the open area. In addition there are images of what may have been an adjacent landscaped area featuring trees, shrubs, and a stone bench. It is possible, however, that the two sites were completely unrelated. The exact location of the site(s) is not known.

This site, with its large, traditional home, appears to have been in an open rural area. Mature specimen trees articulated an expansive lawn and adjacent fields. At the rear of the house two sets of stairs led from the house (one of them via a wooden terrace) to a large flagstone terrace with outdoor seating. From this terrace brick stairs at one end led down to the lawn, while at the other end a stepped brick walk led around the side of the house. The exact location of the property is not known.

This charming garden, photographed during the height of spring bloom, was on a wooded suburban site. It featured a flagstone patio with an adjacent lawn surrounded by borders of azaleas and other shrubs. A flowering dogwood and other mature trees provided accents and a backdrop. Stone walks led from the patio to adjacent garden areas. The exact location of the property is not known.

Little is known about this site. Because the contact prints were found on the same sheet as those for NY512, it may have been located in the vicinity of Southampton, Long Island, New York. Likewise, dates have been assigned that are the presumed dates for the images in NY512. The bungalow-style house was situated amidst shrubs and trees and featured informal gardens adjacent to the porch area.
