Separated MaterialsThe North Jersey History & Genealogy Center at The Morristown & Morris Township Library inNew Jersey has a collection of images by Molly Adams showcasing nature scenes and birds.

Related Archival Materials NoteThe Alice Recknagel Ireys Papers in the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College inNorthampton, Massachusetts, include photographs by Molly Adams.

The Nelva Weber Papers in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections at CornellUniversity Library in Ithaca, New York, likely include photographs by Molly Adams.

Processing InformationGiven that Adams often photographed multiple gardens on a single roll of film, it is not alwaysevident where one job ended and another began. In addition, numerous images in thecollection were not labelled by Adams as to the garden owner or location. As a result, there area number of instances in the Maida Babson Adams American Garden Collection where imageshave been inadvertently misidentified. Misidentified images are subject to correction as theirproper identification is discovered.

Biographical / Historical

Molly (Maida Babson) Adams (1918 - 2003) had a 40+ year career as a nationally recognized free-lancegarden and wildlife photographer and conservationist. Her images were published under the name "MollyAdams." Adams was born in Orange, New Jersey and lived over fifty years in Mendham Township, NewJersey. As a teenager she became interested in photography; she later attended the New York Institute ofPhotography 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 theKennedy administration, she photographed the White House Rose Garden; these photographs were laterpublished in "Flower Grower."


Page 3 of 657

Adams provided hundreds of photographs for "How to Plan and Plant Your Own Property" (1967) bylandscape architect Alice Recknagel Ireys and "How to Plan Your Own Home Landscape" (1976) bylandscape designer Nelva M. Weber. Her images were also published in books including "The Reader'sDigest 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 officialphotographer.

In the 1960's Adams' photographs drew attention to conservation issues related to the Great SwampNational Wildlife Refuge in northwestern New Jersey. These widely publicized photographs rallied publicsupport against the proposed destruction of the Great Swamp for the construction of an airport. Adamswas also active as a member of the Mendham Township Environmental Commission and the North JerseyConservation Foundation. In the 1980's she was awarded the Buckley Medal of Merit for HorticulturalAchievement by the Garden Club of America for her photographs used in the postcard campaign "SaveOur Vanishing Wild Flowers."

Scope and Contents

The Maida Babson Adams American Gardens Collection includes a total of 7,606 images documentingclose to 400 gardens photographed by Molly Adams from the 1950s to the 1990s. Although most imagesdocument 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 arealso some public gardens and venues like the Frelinghuysen Arboretum in New Jersey, the InternationalFlower Show in New York City, and the White House in Washington, D.C. A number of gardens werephotographed during organized garden or horticultural tours or annual meetings of the Garden Club ofAmerica. A significant number of images document the work of landscape designers Alice Ireys, NelvaWeber, and Friede Stege. Approximately 85 gardens in the collection are unidentified as to their locationand/or client. Relatively few images are captioned or dated; Adams often labeled a film envelope or backof a photograph or contact sheet with just a client surname and the designer (if it was Ireys, Weber, orStege). In some cases, additional information about a garden's location or owner's full name was gleanedfrom the finding aids for the Alice Recknagel Ireys Papers or the Nelva Weber Papers. Some images wereaccompanied by clippings from newspapers or magazines that featured one or more related images byAdams; most of these clippings date from the 1950s and 1960s. There is also a file of general clippings ofAdams' 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' contactsheets and photo envelopes were sometimes marked with cropping marks or photo developing notesrespectively.

Gund Garden related holdings consist of 1 folder (30 safety film negatives; 1photographic print)

Designed by Eloise A. Ray, the herb garden was a key feature in this propertybelonging to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gund and was situated adjacent to thehome's terrace. Culinary, cosmetic, and healing herbs were grown, givinga variety of colors, scents, and textures. Plant material varied from low-growing sweet woodruff to bushy yellow achilleas. A path of marble chips withscalloped edging (made from asbestos fiber!) outlined the plantings and ledfrom the terrace's seating area along the house. It was roughly paralleled bya winding brick path farther from the house. From the herb garden an openmeadow/lawn area led the eye to surrounding woodlands. In addition to theherb garden the home's landscaping featured what appears to have beenextensive pleached hedging, lawn areas, and garden elements such as arustic wooden garden shed. Molly Adams's photographs were apparentlytaken on assignment to accompany a newspaper article by Rhoda S[pechtMaxwell]. Tarantino; one (CT320024) was subsequently used in Tarantino's1972 book (see citations below).

Persons associated with the property include Eloise A. Ray (landscapearchitect, ca. 1960-1969) and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gund (former owners, ca.1960-1969).

Taylor Garden related holdings consist of 1 folder (38 photographic prints)

Designed by Alice Recknagel Ireys, with a house by architect Julian AugustusFay, this property belonging to Rolland Taylor was located along Long IslandSound 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, whichexplains the large number of Adams photographs documenting the site. Takingadvantage of the vista from the house to the water, Ireys designed threeterraces: one adjacent to the kitchen for informal dining, a second in the centerof the house for entertaining, and a third outside the owner's bedroom asa private retreat. Shrubs and roses bordering the house provided "garden"interest along with some shade and ornamental trees. Records for this projectmay be found in Ireys's papers at Smith College.

Nelva M. Weber was the landscape architect responsible for garden designat Flying Brook Farm, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph D'Assern. Thespacious rural property, with views of the Litchfield Hills, featured an in-groundswimming 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 thetrees. A covered terrace adjacent to the house provided outdoor seating andwas separated from the lawn by flower borders. Less formally, an enclosedvegetable garden maintained a country flavor while benefitting from clear

delineation by fence and gate. The number of images taken of this site and itsbeing featured multiple times in Weber's 1976 book may indicate that this wasone of the landscape architect's favorite designs.

The first law school in the United States was founded in 1774 by JudgeTapping Reeve, whose home adjoined the one-room school building. At somepoint the law school building was moved from its original site near South Streettoward the back of the property and its direction seemingly reversed. TheHowe Memorial Garden, a formal "colonial" garden with elaborate brick walks,was developed between the school building and the fence that then separatedthe entire property from South Street. This garden was removed in 1976 whenthe law school building was moved back to its original site, which was in thecenter of the garden site. Molly Adams's images pre-date this move. One ofthe images associated with this series, CT332002, may be questionable in itsdirect 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 tothe Litchfield Historical Society.

Persons associated with the garden include: Tapping Reeve (former owner, ca.1774-1823).

Morrow Garden related holdings consist of 1 folder (4 photographic prints; 11safety film negatives)

This garden featured design work by Nelva M. Weber. Working with a hilly,somewhat wooded site, Weber took advantage of the house front's southernexposure and the rear of the houses's protection from winter winds. A stoneterrace provided an outdoor living area and was designed to preserve a largespecimen tree in its center. Stone stairs, walls, and shrubs defined a lawnarea.

Persons associated with the garden include: Frita Morrow (former owner); andNelva M. Weber (landscape architect).

Images for AAG Garden #s ADM018 and ADM019, both unidentified gardens,were found on the same film strips as images for CT333.

This was the garden of Mr. and Mrs. Brown Bolte. A well-known advertisingexecutive, he was president of Sullivan, Stauffer, Colwell & Bayles. Thesix negatives in this series were apparently shot to illustrate an article thatappeared in Popular Gardening in March 1958, hence the dating of the imagesto the summer of the previous year. They show what are probably the Boltefamily and guests enjoying the outdoor living spaces adjacent to their home,including a swimming pool and shuffleboard court. Stone walls underlainwith garden borders, extensive lawns, and mature trees are the primarylandscaping features.

Persons associated with the garden include Mr. and Mrs. Brown Bolte (formerowners, ca. 1957).

The design featured acovered 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 beenassigned a broad date span, although it is likely that they were taken in thelate 1960s.

It is possible that this was one of the houses located on the Hillandale estateof Iphigene Ochs and Arthur Hays Sulzberger. Records at Smith Collegeshow that landscape architect Alice Recknagel Ireys worked on this propertybetween 1964 and 1984, and Molly Adams wrote "Sultzberger" [sic] on theback of two of the proofsheets in the series (there are four proofsheets inall, two of which are duplicates). The house shown is definitely not the mainestate house at Hillandale, which features 23 rooms and 20,000 square feet.Moreover, the suburban appearance of the street and sidewalk shots on theproofsheets is inconsistent with the rural, wooded setting of Hillandale. Theimages in this series show a colonial revival style house with a small patiogarden bounded by a low stone wall. Grass and then flagstone walkwaysappear to lead from this garden up flights of stairs to a terrace on a higherlevel. Several specimen trees including holly and white birch appear in otherimages.

Miles Garden related holdings consist of 1 folder (18 safety film negatives; 9photographic prints)

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 GeorgeNakashima. Because Walter Miles wanted to install and maintain the gardenhimself, with as little help as possible, he modified Furlong's plan to somedegree, while retaining the spirit of the design. Dry stream beds, a pavilion,a bamboo-roofed gatehouse, and irregularly shaped stones were some ofthe many features of the garden. Although Asian plant material was usedextensively, non-Japanese plants such as as Blue Atlas cedar and a floweringdogwood (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.

Persons associated with the property include Ethelbert E. Furlong (landscapearchitect, ca. 1960); George Nakashima (architect, ca. 1950); and Walter andJessie Miles (former owners, 1950-1971).

Hull Garden related holdings consist of 1 folder (8 safety film negatives; 1photographic print)

Although the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Hull was well-landscaped withazaleas, mountain laurel, and rhododendron, it was their unique glass-sideddining room with attached greenhouse that attracted photographer MollyAdams. A wide range of plants from cacti to orchids to bonsai found a homein these interior spaces, which were large enough to provide variationsin light, temperature, and humidity. Separate furnaces and humidifiers forthe plant-dining room and greenhouse, as well as a super-slat structureover the gardening end of the house, facilitated the provision of specializedconditions for the plants. The overall result was one of lush variety rangingfrom gardenias to rosemary to staghorn ferns and a plant collection thatgarnered numerous awards for its owners.

Persons associated with the garden include Mr. and Mrs. William Hull (formerowners, ca. 1960-1967).

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). Alsolike those gardens, the spacious, wooded site depicted in the images doesnot seem typical of an urban location. Similar also to the Sheldon Garden isthe Merry Garden's emphasis on daylilies. Variety was provided by a rangeof other trees, shrubs, and perennials. The date 1970 was written by MollyAdams on the plastic sleeve enclosing the transparency and may well bethe year in which she also photographed the Patten and Sheldon gardens,perhaps on the same trip.

Also like that garden, the spacious, wooded site depictedin the images does not seem typical of an urban location. An Asian flavorwas given to the garden by its inclusion of a torii gate and what appear to beantique 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 casualgarden. Rhododendrons and other shrubs, trees, a variety of paths, and otherfeatures rounded off the garden's design. It is possible that the garden's ownerappears in image MA334012 (not digitized).

Mr. and Mrs. Stedman Buttrick developed extensive perennial gardenswith irises being emphasized. Several acres of land were terraced with iris,peonies, hemerocallis, lilies, phlox, and other perennials. There were nearly200 varieties of bearded irises. Many of Buttrick's white and blue varietieswere displayed in American and British flower shows. In the 1950s, NationalGeographic published a feature article on the gardens. In 1965, the NationalPark Service bought the property and are currently in a state of disrepair.

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 (landscapedesigner, 1911); and Harold Blossom (landscape designer, 1923 and 1925).

A 225 acre estate, including about three acres of flower and vegetablegardens, Tredinnock was the summer home of Frederick W. and Carrie SperryBeinecke. The gardens were largely the work of landscape gardener GeorgeE. Wright, who created them on a previously uncultivated site. Featuresincluded borders of annuals and perennials, a cut-stone terrace, many pottedplants and hanging baskets, flowering shrubs, and a plastic-covered lathhouse. A highlight was a sunken garden outlined in native field stone.

A contemporary house with a mountain view had a professionally designedlandscape comprising trees and shrubs combined with drifts of nativeherbaceous plants selected by the owner. To the south of the house grassy





Page 89 of 657

slopes and valleys allowed an unobstructed view of Canaan Mountain. Northof the house a mature woodland of native white pines and mixed hardwoodshad an understory of native plants. The best were kept and supplementedwith exotics that tolerated shade and acid soil. Plantings included sweetwoodruff, native wild ginger, European ginger, pink bleeding heart, and cream-colored foam flower. Additional clumps of lungwort and Solomon seal addeddarker tones and height, and clumps of ferns added texture. A curving walkof flat fieldstones crossed a lawn planted between the house and the woods.Looking north from the house there was a curving border of perennials andbulbs that received summer sun while the pine woodland protected it againstwinter winds. The plant selection for the border included hollyhock, foxglove,echinops, coral bells, pinks, daylilies, monarda, Shasta daisies, and peonieswith creeping thyme and sedum for contrasting foliage. Another sunny spotheld a small vegetable garden and orchard.

On the mountain side of the house, a bluestone terrace gave way to a grassterrace, shaded by a honey locust. Low growing shrubs and perennials wereplanted in foundation beds, including a specimen evergreen. Across the lawn abed of low growing alpines included spreading mats of dianthus, several thymevarieties, and fuzzy gray leafed perennials. Large stones were placed on theslope to prevent erosion, and drought resistant spreading junipers, yucca,clumps of butterfly weed, a sweep of achillea, and volunteer natives completedthe garden.

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

This was the garden of Madeline P. Borman, a member of the SomersetHills Garden Club and a friend of Molly Adams. Borman began creating thiswoodland garden around 1960 out of a jungle-like mass of locust and ashtrees, dense thickets of shrubs, and nets of poison ivy, honeysuckle, andVirginia creeper. After clearing away the undesirable plants and relocating




Page 100 of 657

some shrubs, such as spice bush, privet, and blackthorn, Borman marked outa path and began planting native woodland plants such as ferns, Jack-in-the-pulpit, bloodroot, and hepatica. Primroses, daffodils, azaleas, and other springflowers complemented the natives. In addition to the woodland garden the siteincluded a stone terrace and seating area with adjacent lily pond, a lawn withgarden borders, and a rustic gazebo. Documentation received with the Adamscollection clearly assigns a 1965 date to some of the images; this date hasbeen assigned to all of the individual images, although a ca. 1965 date hasbeen given to the series as a whole.

Persons associated with the garden include Madeline P. Borman (formerowner, ca. 1960-1988).

American Gardens Collection, ca. 1920-[ongoing].

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 ofColonial Williamsburg and featured a space enclosed by a picket fence andhedges. Brick walkways defined beds within the garden that were plantedwith a variety of annuals. Surrounding borders both inside and outside thefenced area contained a mix of annuals and traditional perennials, such asdaylilies and peonies, as well as shrubs and small trees. The proximity of thegarden to an adjacent patio and the house ensured that the home owners andvisitors alike would have ample opportunity to enjoy this lovely garden. Severalimages of the garden were included in Weber's 1976 book, a clear indicationof how she valued this particular project.

Persons associated with the garden include Nelva M. Weber (landscapearchitect, ca. 1970) and Donald and Beth Straus (former owners, 1967-1982).

Founded in 1907, the church of St. John on the Mountain undertook a majorbuilding project in the 1960s. As part of this endeavor landscape architectNelva M. Weber created a new design for the church grounds. In doing so sheutilized two focal points: a statue of St. Francis of Assisi and an Asian templebell housed in a pavilion. A long walkway led to the pavilion from the churcharea. The St. Francis statue was set in a broad lawn outlined by hedges andbordered on one side by the church building and on others by flowering treesand shrubs.

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

Sharp Garden related holdings consist of 1 folder (8 safety film negatives)

Highlighted in a New York Times article in 1965, the Sharp Garden wasnoteworthy because of its effective treatment of a rocky, erosion-prone slopeat the front of the house. Emendation of the soil and the planting of vincaresulted in a practical visual solution. At the top of the embankment adjacentto the house a walk of patio blocks was built. A variety of trees and shrubsincluding Washington hawthorns, Andorra junipers, boxwood, yew, holly, andandromeda was installed, resulting in a pleasing front entrance to the home.Molly Adams's photographs show the landscaping at the front of the house aswell as an additional area at the side or rear of the property.

Persons associated with the garden include: Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Sharp(former owners, circa 1961-1965).

Billings Garden related holdings consist of 1 folder (3 photographic prints; 68safety film negatives)

This was the garden of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver C. Billings, Jr., and featured aglass-roofed plant room extending from the living room of their house. Inthis area they raised bougainvillea, begonias, passion flowers, climbing fig,orchids, and even bonsai. Outside, the wooded site provided shade for theplant room and an environment into which many of the plants could be movedduring warmer months. Other features of the property included a Florida roomwith louvered walls and an adjacent outdoor seating area, and a small pondwith aquatic plants. A letter in the file would seem to indicate that many of thephotographs were taken in 1960, although some images may have been taken

Low Garden related holdings consist of 1 folder (24 contact prints; 2 filmtransparencies)

Designed by Alice Recknagel Ireys, this was obviously one of her favoritegardens, 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 useof stone in both house and garden walls. Behind the high stone wall separatingthe garden from the driveway Ireys created a spacious informal setting for avariety of trees and shrubs as well as perennials and a lawn. The dust jacketillustration (reproduced inside the book as well) showed part of the garden inearly spring with its bleeding hearts, Virginia bluebells, and primroses undera flowering cherry. Brick and natural surface paths wound through the site;boxwood was used extensively as a border. A stone garden house and statueof St. Francis added decorative touches, while seating near the house and inother locations provided ample opportunity for relaxation and contemplation ofthis lovely garden.

Height Garden related holdings consist of 1 folder (11 safety film negatives)

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, NewJersey. Woods surrounded the lawns and borders of this informally designedsite and the informality was emphasized by the use of Adirondack chairson a stone patio. An iron bench near a stone-bordered fish pond provided amore formal touch, while a statue of St. Francis gave the garden a air of calm,serenity, and spiritual union with nature.

Bittersweet Hill related holdings consist of 1 folder (56 safety film negatives; 17photographic prints; 4 film transparencies)

The home of John J. and Martha Virginia McEwan Gaerste, Bittersweet Hillwas a country estate that afforded Virginia Gaerste ample opportunity todevelop her two-acre garden with plantings for year-round interest. Pear andapple 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 anentrance court and outdoor dining area. Garden borders and beds featured avariety of perennials including lilies, delphiniums, roses, clematis, and peonies.Hedges defined space while not preventing the eye from gazing on views ofadjacent woodlands and hills. Spring flowering bulbs were planted throughout,under trees and against walls to heighten their artistic appeal. Other gardenfeatures included a small herb garden near the kitchen, a cutting garden,and a vegetable garden. Because of the large number of images and theircomparatively early date this was probably one of Molly Adams first majorgarden shoots; she is also credited with bringing the garden to the attention ofPopular Gardening's editors.

Persons associated with the garden include John J. Gaerste and MarthaVirginia McEwan Gaerste (former owners, ca. 1955-1975).

Carpenter Garden related holdings consist of 1 folder (9 photographic prints;33 contact prints; 51 safety film negatives)

Designed by Nelva M. Weber, this was the garden of Fairbank and MarionFarnsworth Carpenter, native Chicagoans who moved to New Jersey in 1955.The extent of the photographic documentation suggests that this was animportant site for both Weber and Molly Adams. Several images and a planwere included in Weber's 1976 book and in other publications, some as earlyas 1960, indicating that this may have been one of Molly Adams's earliestphotographic projects. Weber's design included a brick patio with a fast-growing honey locust as a focal point and free-form borders separating thebrick area from the house. A stone wall separated the patio from a dropoffat the back of the house, which faced a grassy area edged with daylilies. Aswimming pool was defined by a stone wall and featured outdoor seating.Overall, the design aimed to merge indoor and outdoor living in an informalatmosphere, but also featured traditional design accents, such as an armillarysphere.

Persons associated with the garden include Nelva M. Weber (landscapearchitect, ca. 1959-1973) and Fairbank and Marion Farnsworth Carpenter(former owners, ca. 1955-1983).

Nelva M. Weber was the landscape architect for this site, probably in the1960s or 1970s. The rural setting provided expansive views of the surroundingwooded countryside. Weber used brick walls and a stockade fence to definethe garden area close to the house. The brick walls enclosed a small lawn,while bulb and perennial plantings and shrubs separated the lawn fromthe 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 barnprovided an historical note to the property.

Persons associated with the garden include: Nelva M. Weber (landscapearchitect, circa 1960-1975) and Mimi (Mrs. John) Ehrenclou (former owner,circa 1960-1994).

and mature trees. For outdoor entertaining Weber created a brick terraceadjacent to the home's living room, defining it with a pierced brick wall frontedby flowering shrubs, clematis, and a boxwood border. Another brick wallhelped to delineate the lawn area, which was made more interesting by anexpanse of ground cover plants. A second grass terrace completed the design.

Additional documentation relating to the garden may be found in the NelvaWeber Papers in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections of theCornell University Library.

Teviot Farm related holdings consist of 2 folders (22 35 mm. slides; 15negatives)


The Teviot Farm house, part of which is an old quarry man's stone house, issituated on a west-facing hillside that slopes down to the North Branch of theRaritan River. The river view is the focal point of the house and gardens. Theoriginal landscape plan with walls, pergolas, and terraces, as well as muchof the foundation planting, still existed unchanged in 1994. On a lower level,an English-type informal curving path with perennial borders leads from thepergola 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 oldmaple trees edged by a low box hedge. A grass path below goes from the rosegarden around to the south side of the house overlooking a pasture field whichruns along the river.

Vila Garden related holdings consist of 1 folder (17 safety film negatives; 11contact prints; 3 photographic prints)

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 encloseand separate a lawn and garden area from adjacent outbuildings and the opencountryside. An elevated, brick-walled terrace with outdoor seating and brickwalkways helped to unify the design. Garden borders, boxwood, and floweringtrees and shrubs such as forsythia provided visual interest, while ornamentalfeatures included a bell, a martin house, and a whimsical fox sculpture atopone of the brick walls. Several wooden gates and doors provided additionaldecorative as well as utilitarian touches to the overall design.

Additional documentation relating to the garden may be found in the NelvaWeber Papers in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections of theCornell University Library.

Persons associated with the garden include: Nelva M. Weber (landscapearchitect, circa 1966) and George R. and Betty Vila (former owners, circa1966).

Pitney Farm related holdings consist of 3 folders (19 35 mm. slides; 25photoprints; 25 negatives)


This 12-acre site is what remains of a property that once included as many as740 acres. Ten generations of the Pitney family have owned or occupied thefarm since its acquisition around 1722. An 1854 oil painting of the farm depictsthe farmhouse and outbuildings along with a fenced garden. This gardenspace remains relatively unchanged today and serves as a cutting garden.John O. H. and Roberta Ballantine Pitney, who owned the property from 1911to 1942, laid much of the groundwork for the current gardens. They restoredand 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 1930sa brick-walled garden was added to the west side of the property. During the1960s the currrent owners added two gardens directly outside the home. Thefirst was a St. Francis garden, with a small circular fountain pond adornedby a statue of St. Francis and surrounded by plantings such as azaleas andrhododendrons. The second, an enclosed "breakfast room garden" on theeast side of the house, features ornamental trees and shrubs, including anespaliered dogwood Cornus kousa and a Rhododendron carolinianum. Thecurrent owners have also transformed the walled garden into a rock garden,built raised beds in the vegetable garden, added a wild flower and native plantwalk outside the walled garden, and planted more than 5,000 seedlings. Withits 250-year-old maple tree allee, three fruit orchards, and numerous specimentree and shrub plantings, Pitney Farm is an important arboretum property aswell as an American-style garden.

Three Fields related holdings consist of 1 folder (11 safety film negatives; 10photographic prints)

Three Fields, on Cherry Lane in Mendham, was the 49-acre estate of Andrewand Dorothea Camp Fletcher. The country setting lent itself well to theNorman-French style of the house, with its pink brick and tiled roof. A smallorchard was located at the front of the property, while there was a large stonepatio at the rear. There was also a terraced garden, a pool, and views of thesurrounding hills and woodlands. Andrew Fletcher, who had served as mayorof Mendham, gave the property to the Borough of Mendham to hold in trustuntil a time after the death of his wife, who held a life interest, when its salemight be useful for the benefit of the Borough. This was done in May 1982and the proceeds used to create the "Andrew Fletcher Three Fields MemorialTrust."

Persons associated with the garden include Andrew and Dorothea CampFletcher (former owners, ca. 1950-1980).

NJ413: Mendham -- Unidentified Garden in Mendham, New Jersey on CoreyLaneImage(s)The folder includes worksheets and other information.

Unidentified Garden in Mendham, New Jersey on Corey Lane related holdingsconsist of 1 folder (4 safety film negatives)

Little is known about this garden other than that it was apparently located onCorey Lane in Mendham. The number 1759, visible on image NJ413001, mayindicate the date of the house's initial construction. Molly Adams lived nearbyon Kennaday Road [Adams spelled it Kenneday on her personal letterhead],so this is probably a neighbor's property. Daylilies, hollyhocks (Alcea), andother traditional plantings predominated, while an arbor provided a comfortabletransition from the street to the house. The photographs were probably takenbetween 1960 and 1980.

Williams Garden related holdings consist of 1 folder (24 safety film negatives;1 film transparency)

Nelva M. Weber designed the striking terrace garden for this home around1963-64. The color scheme of white and green reflected the wishes of theproperty owners, who had painted their red brick house white upon acquiringit in the early 1960s. White was used throughout the design in plant material(azaleas, petunias, clematis), furniture, and garden accents, as well as inan all-white pool house. Green foliage in such plants as Ilex japonica andivy offset the white, while a small perennial border masking a parking areaprovided a splash of color (albeit punctuated with white). Outdoor lightingcombined with the white color scheme made the site particularly striking atnight.

Persons associated with the garden include: Nelva M. Weber (landscapearchitect, ca. 1963-1966) and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Schuyler Williams (formerowners, ca. 1963-1970).

Beginningwith azaleas, rhododendrons, and wildflowers, they moved on to includehostas, hellebores, daylilies, primula, and other perennials in their plantingscheme. They continue to collect and plant experimentally on the site.

grandiflora roses planted in concentric rings in wedge-shaped beds hedgedwith boxwood. At the center is a gazebo, with paths radiating out betweenand around the beds. Naturalized plantings of spring bulbs, ferns and sweetwoodruff, specimen trees, yew hedges and lawns comprise the rest ofWallbridge Garden.

The garden is named for Mr. and Mrs. William K. Wallbridge, whose bequestprovided the initial funds for the garden club's renovation. Planning for thegarden began circa 1980 during a drought that limited water use, and a tricklehose system was installed in the rose beds that uses non-potable water storedin a tank. The rose beds are mulched with shredded leaves collected in thepark.

An earlier garden at that location centered on a bandstand that had becomederelict and was removed. Dead trees, deteriorating plants and wire wastebaskets were removed, and sturdy wooden benches and trash receptacleswere installed. Paths that had been blacktopped were revived with a coveringof pea gravel set with hot oil. The original Wallbridge bequest has beensupplemented through fund-raising activities of the garden club.

Persons associated with the garden include Mr. and Mrs. John Taylor (formerowners prior to 1924); Township of Millburn, New Jersey (owner, May 1924 topresent); Robert B. Heintz (architect of the gazebo, February 1981); Short HillsGarden Club (garden designers, planters and maintainers, 1981 to present).

Additional archival materials such as the "Cynthia Westcott Papers,1922-1983," are located at the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, 2BCarl A. Kroch Library, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853.

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

Persons associated with the garden include: Cynthia Westcott (1898-1983)(former owner, circa 1933-1962).

Chilcott Garden related holdings consist of 1 folder (53 contact prints)

Alice Recknagel Ireys began to design this garden in 1953, soon after theproperty was purchased by James Clemens and Ruth Hackney Chilcott. Ireyshad 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. Lawnssurrounded the house, while a terrace for outdoor dining and entertaining hadan open view of the pool and nearby woodlands. A wide grass path borderedwith lilacs outlined the area between the entrance court and a rose garden. Awhimsical feature, pictured in Ireys' 1967 book, was a two-tiered shell fountainproviding water for birds as well as the five Chilcott dogs. Molly Adams'sphotographs show the property at different seasons. Two of the contact printsheets are clearly dated October 1965, while other images are assumed todate from the same year. Additional documentation relating to the ChilcottGarden may be found in the Ireys papers in the Sophia Smith Collection atSmith College.

The McShane Garden featured design work by landscape architect NelvaM. Weber. The back of the irregularly shaped house was delineated by astone wall outlining terrace and lawn areas. One free-form flagstone terrace,flush with its adjacent lawn, provided ample space for outdoor living andentertaining. Two sets of stone stairs led down to more lawns, a swimmingpool, and an adjacent bath house and sunning area. Weber designed a widepaving 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 andfeatured a variety of shrubs, trees, and plant containers, including a windowbox. More shrubs and trees were found at the back of the house, with views ofthe property's adjacent woodlands.

Persons associated with the garden include: Nelva M. Weber (landscapearchitect, 1973) and Gordon and Mary McShane (former owners, 1973).

Wing Haven related holdings consist of 1 folder (27 safety film negatives)

According to an excerpt from a garden tour program, this was the garden ofMr. and Mrs. Francis Lake Bower and complemented a contemporary homedesigned by Emil Schmidlin that won the New Jersey Society of Architects1953 Award of Merit for excellence in design. Although Alice L. Dustanlandscaped the area immediately around the house, the rest of the propertyremained heavily wooded or was planted with shrubs and fruit trees, andincluded striking views across the countryside. Punctuating the landscapingwere several bird feeders, reflecting the Bowers's devotion to ornithology(Wing Haven was a banding station of the Fish and Wildlife Service). It ispossible that the Bowers are the same Francis Lake Bower and Winifred FerryBower who are buried in Greenridge Cemetery in Saratoga Springs, New York,and the birth and death dates of these individuals are included in their indexentries.

Persons associated with the garden include Alice L. Dustan (landscapedesigner, ca. 1953); Emil Schmidlin (architect, 1953); and Francis Lake Bowerand Winifred Ferry Bower (former owners, ca. 1953-1994).

Zenker Garden related holdings consist of 1 folder (3 safety film negatives; 3contact prints)

Molly Adams labelled the sleeve in which the negatives for this gardenwere found "Weber Zenker July '73," so it is reasonably certain that thenegatives 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 thethree contact prints, which show a developed garden, may or may not be thesame site depicted in the negatives. In the absence of further information allsix images have been identified as the Zenker Garden. One of the contactprints is an image included in Nelva M. Weber's 1976 book, How to PlanYour Own Home Landscape, establishing an upper cutoff date for the gardenimages of 1976. The negatives depict the construction site of a new home,while the three contact prints show a raised bed garden, a driveway andparking area, and a vine covered areaway adjacent to tool storage.

Persons associated with the garden include: Nelva M. Weber (landscapearchitect, 1973) and Dr. David Ogden and Jeanne Tucker Zenker (formerowners, ca. 1973-2000).

Laporte Garden related holdings consist of 1 folder (17 contact prints)




Page 335 of 657

Alice Recknagel Ireys began design work for this garden around 1969 andappears to have continued her association over the next ten years. The Dutchcolonial 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 advantageof the property's elevation change to design stone stairs leading to a slightlyhigher level above the patio. Several images show the project during theinstallation phase. The 1971 date is assumed from the date shown on theverso of one of the proof sheets for another garden whose images sharethat proof sheet with some of the Laporte property. Additional documentationrelating to the Laporte Garden may be found in the Ireys papers in the SophiaSmith Collection at Smith College.

Persons associated with the garden include: Alice Recknagel Ireys (landscapearchitect, circa 1969-1979) and John Henry and Donna Laporte (formerowners, circa 1960-1979).

This 3.5 acre Basking Ridge property was the home of Elfreda and TudorR. Finch. Elfreda Finch was a garden writer as well as an avid gardendesigner, gardener, and flower arranger, and along with her husband createdoutstanding rock and swamp gardens on the site. She was also allied withMolly 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 70varieties of ferns. The garden overall was not limited to these two specialties,however, and a 130 foot long border filled with bulbs, annuals, and perennialsoutlined the house's lawn area. Finch used shrubs such as yews and otherevergreens to give a feeling of unity to the design, and underplanted them witha variety of ground covers. Another garden area incorporated the Japanesemotif of raked sand with yucca and other plantings to suggest an arid, desert-like setting.

Persons associated with the garden include Elfreda and Tudor R. Finch(former owners, ca. 1950-1980).

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

Four Oaks Farm was the home of noted bibliophile Mary Morley Crapo Hyde,Viscountess Eccles. Gardener George Knapp was responsible for much ofthe five-acre site's design, although Nelva M. Weber and Alfred Geiffert alsocontributed their expertise. Surrounding an 18th-century farmhouse withan added Greek Revival portico, the garden was started in 1946. Existingbrick and cobblestone terraces provided a basis for the overall design, which





Page 358 of 657

involved the development of individual garden areas adjacent to the terraces,among other features. Water was highlighted in several locations, including asmall pool overlooked by a statue of Shakespeare, a pond made by dammingan 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 treesand views of surrounding sheep and cow pastures and the Raritan Riverenhanced the rural setting of the site.

Roche Collection, ca. 1954-1970.

This was the private garden of William T. Gotelli, a building contractorand collector of dwarf and slow-growing conifers. With design assistancefrom landscape architect John J. Jennings, Gotelli amassed about 1,500specimens within a 15-year period from nurseries, estates, and botanicalgardens in the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.Thirty genera were represented by numerous varieties of fir, cedar, falsecypress (Chamaecyparis), juniper, spruce, pine, Cryptomeria, yew, arborvitae,hemlock , and other genera. Considered to be one of the most extensivecollections of its type, all of the plants, rocks, sculpture, and other featureswere donated by Gotelli to the United States National Arboretum in 1962and were removed to Washington, D.C., where they are known as the Gotelli

Crone Garden related holdings consist of 1 folder (10 safety film negatives; 3photographic prints; 2 film transparencies)

This was the home and garden of Lester A. and Inez Persy Crone, and wassituated on a densely wooded site. Stone walls set off flowering borders ofspring bulbs, while rhododendron and other shrubs provided a backdropleading to the woods. Trees, however, were interspersed throughout thegrounds, and rustic walkways wound amongst them, flanked by naturalisticplantings. A small lawn area provided a spot for outdoor seating. Despite theproperty's suburban location, the overall feel of the garden was of a muchmore rural and rustic site.

Persons associated with the garden include Lester A. Crone and Inez PersyCrone (former owners, ca. 1940-1970).

The Clearing, formerly known as.

During the Revolutionary era, the area was part of a farm. An estate, onceknown as The Clearing, was created on the site in 1889 by John HornorWisner. He built the present Colonial revival residence, which now servesas the administrative and educational center for the Arboretum. Mr. Wisnerplotted the original gardens and Mrs. Wisner planted the first daffodils. EachApril the daffodil display, enlarged from earlier times, is a major Arboretumattraction. In 1916, the new owners, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Reeves, hired aNew York landscape architect to develop an overall design for the property.Mrs. Reeves was also a member of the Summit Garden Club. The Reevesfamily increased the daffodil plantings and, around 1925, started the rosegarden. The Charles L. Reed family became the last private owners in the1960s, adding the herb garden and creating the woodland trails.

The property became a public institution, the Reeves-Reed Arboretum, in1974, when Summit citizens acted to protect the 12.5 acres of woodlands,glacial contours and dells, rolling lawns, and inspired gardens fromencroaching development.

This site was apparently a favorite of Nelva M. Weber, for it is featured severaltimes in her 1976 book. Despite this prominence, however, its identificationhas proved to be elusive, although it was probably in New Jersey. Twooutdoor 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 alarge shade tree, but also bordered a large lawn and was backed by othertrees and shrubs. This country estate also featured grass walkways with hostaborders, a decorative brick walkway with a millstone center, and a woodenfence with espaliers at the entrance to the property leading in to the housefrom the driveway and parking area.

Persons associated with the garden include Nelva M. Weber (landscapearchitect, ca. 1965-1973).

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-acreproperty (of the eventual 100+ acres all but 13 have been deeded to a localnature conservancy). A lean-to greenhouse on the north end of the kitchenwing provides the winter display area for streptocarpus, camellias and otherpotted plants. It is here that seeds of all sorts are sown and grown underfluorescent light until they are large enough to be taken to the much largergreenhouse across the drive. A winding path through a grassy meadowplanted with apple trees leads from the house to the flower and vegetablegardens. The site now features a patterned design based on a medieval, four-part parterre garden--two diamond shapes and two round--using bricks asedging for the beds, and also includes four iron umbrella tripods that serveas supports for clematis. Beyond the flower garden is an extensive vegetablegarden and berry patch that produce fresh summer harvests for the table aswell as the freezer. Many varieties of clematis are found tumbling informallyatop stone walls, weaving through bushes and climbing obediently up the tanhouse walls, reflecting the owner's passion for this plant. Daphne is anotherparticular favorite.

Each fall on the east side of the guest house an ingenious portablegreenhouse 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 thisarea include yellow corydalis, mimosa trees, ferns, and woodland flowers. Justoutside 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 theedge of the brick terrace, blue pansies bloom with spring flowers and are laterjoined by pots of standard fuchsias and roses. The old well house still standsin the middle of a brick terrace surround by white alyssum volunteers. Beautifulclay pots of unusual collected plants are everywhere. This is a perfect countrygarden with its meadow views and unusual plant combinations, a tribute to itsowners' lifelong devotion to its design, development, and care.

Persons associated with the garden include: John E. and Henrietta SedgwickLockwood (former owners, 1938-2001); the Bulloch family (former owners,

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

Ireys Garden related holdings consist of 1 folder (20 contact prints)

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

A 17-acre property with formal gardens on three sides of the French andPalladian style house, designed by the owner, landscape architect DiegoSuarez, in 1952. The house was approached from a long driveway to arectilinear white gravel courtyard bordered by lawn surrounded by a tallhedge of clipped yews. Other gardens include a sunken rectangular reflectingpool behind the house. There is a horseshoe shaped allee of 80 lindentrees. Clipped yew hedges formed the base around other stands of trees,demarcated entrances, and in at least one instance were given a whimsicalshape. The rectilinear courtyard was echoed by straight-sided containers forshrubs or small trees at the front of the house. There were many statues onthe roof of the house and on the grounds of the estate, in keeping with its neo-classical design, and a gracefully curved stairway.

Twyford was the home of Charles D. and Natalie Peters Webster on the southshore of Long Island. Although the entire property encompassed nearly 200acres, the gardens, house, and outbuildings were confined to 10 acres, whichin turn was part of a 30-acre tract of open fields, marshland, and woods. TheWebsters began gardening in 1936, when they moved to the late 19th-centuryhouse. Formal beds and paths and other designs were complemented by agreenhouse, potting house and tool shed, and an octagonal lathhouse. Otherfeatures included a swimming pool, extensive borders and planting of broad-leaved evergreens, lawns, a waterfowl pool, and a farmyard. The property wasgiven by the Websters to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1968 (with lifetenancy). The house and other buildings were demolished in 2002 despite theefforts of several preservation groups to save them.

Persons and organizations associated with the property include: Charles D.Webster (former owner, d. 1998); Natalie Peters Webster (former owner); andNelva M. Weber (landscape architect, c. 1960-1973).

Although Alice Recknagel Ireys worked on the design of the Merson gardenbetween 1955 and 1970, the images in this series were taken no laterthan 1967, since several of them are featured in her book of that year. TheMerson'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 formalentrance. Azaleas provided springtime bloom at both the main entrance andelsewhere, while laurel, hollies, andromeda, and myrtle were used for year-round green affect. A terrace at the rear of the house was accented by ahoney locust and a dogwood, while holly hedges separated a broad lawn areafrom surrounding woods and delineated a parking area from the rest of theproperty.

Additional documentation relating to the garden may be found in the AliceRecknagel Ireys papers in the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College.

Persons associated with the garden include: Alice Recknagel Ireys (landscapearchitect, 1955-1970) and David and Hazel Merson (former owners, circa1955-1970).

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

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

Someyears later, following expansion of the site through the purchase of an adjacentbuilding, the garden was redesigned by Alice Recknagel Ireys into its presentform.

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 rockgarden with an Asian sculpture and an outdoor seating area. The gardenoverlooked the East River southward to the Queensboro Bridge (also knownas the 59th Street Bridge) and what is now the New York Hospital-CornellMedical Center. Following Young's departure from the hospital the gardenwas no longer maintained. Several individuals contributed to the identificationof this garden including Nora Lockshin, Michael D. Lockshin, M.D.; David B.Levine, M.D.; and Brad Hess.

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

This was one of two gardens belonging to Robert Edward and Ethel HalseyBlum that were photographed by Molly Adams (the other is NY806). Itslandscaping, also by Alice Recknagel Ireys, dates to the early 1960s, a latertime period than its predecessor. The ranch style house was situated on asteeply sloping site, with its main level actually being the "second" floor. Nativetrees such as white birch and pine were included in the design along withtraditional garden borders, ground cover plants, and a circular pool in the lawnarea of the upper level. A trailing wisteria at the back of the house on the lowerlevel provided an echo of the wisteria pergola at the Blums' previous home.

This garden, designed by Alice Recknagel Ireys, complemented acontemporary house that was situated along Long Island Sound. The housewas built on the site of a previous one destroyed by fire and was focusedaround a Norway maple that had survived the blaze. A creative use of rocks,water, and plantings gave a naturalistic Japanese feel to landscaped areasadjacent to the raised deck/terrace. A stone patio/terrace with ample seatingprovided a view across what appears to have been a swimming pool to theSound, with its complement of small boats. Elsewhere, lawns and shade treesevinced a more conventional approach to design.

Alice Recknagel Ireys was the landscape architect for this property. Takingadvantage of the site's water views, Ireys designed an expansive stone terracethat was used for dining and other outdoor living functions. A side of thehome away from the water featured an allee of decorative trees that wereunderplanted with annuals in season. Planting immediately around the houseappears to have been limited in order not to obstruct the water views, althougha 2009 description mentions rose and iris beds, bsoxwood, a cutting garden,and daylilies.

Persons associated with the garden include: Alice Recknagel Ireys (landscapearchitect, ca. 1960-1972).

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

ADM047: Unidentified Garden (possibly in Fairfield, Connecticut)Image(s)The folder includes worksheets, a photocopied excerpt from the Tarantinobook, and other information.

Unidentified Garden in Unknown Location related holdings consist of 1 folder(17 safety film negatives)

Unlike many unidentified gardens for which only one or two images exist, thislarge site is represented by multiple images. These negatives were at onetime associated with CT320, the Gund Garden in Fairfield, Connecticut; closevisual examination has shown them to be of another site or sites. Thirteenphotographs are clearly depict the same location and show individual gardenareas surrounding a house in a spacious suburban setting. On one side ofthe house a pergola divides two separate garden and lawn areas, each withits own planting and seating arrangements (see images ADM047006 andADM047011). On the other side of the house are semi-raised planting beds.Because of their previous association with the Gund Garden it is possible thatthe images were taken in or near the same location, Fairfield, Connecticut, andat the same time, June 1969. One of the images, ADM047016, is included inRhoda Specht [Maxwell] Tarantino's 1972 book Small Gardens Are More Fun,providing a basis for narrowing the date range to ca. 1960-1972. That imageand three others, however, do not "fit" clearly with the other 13 images in theseries, raising questions about whether they indeed depict the same location.

ADM054: Waterman GardenImage(s)The folder includes worksheets.

Waterman Garden related holdings consist of 1 folder (15 safety filmnegatives)

This garden appears to have been situated in a rural area amidst woodsand fields. The central feature of the site was an herb and perennial gardenpunctuated by a flagstone walk. Although the location of the property is notidentified in Molly Adams's files, there is a remote possibility that this wasthe William W. Waterman Garden in Gordonsville, Virginia, designed by AliceRecknagel Ireys (included on Irey's client list). Verification of this, however,

cannot be determined without corroborating visual evidence. Moreover, itwould have been very unusual for Molly Adams to travel so far from her basein northern New Jersey to photograph what appears to have been a minor job,both in terms of garden size and number of images.

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

This garden site appears to have been in a suburban area, but with woodsnearby. The two similar images show what appears to be a Colonial stylehome set off from a large lawn and adjacent parking area by dense hedges.A specimen tree highlights the lawn near the house.

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

The dog shown in image ADM085001 associated with this garden appears tobe 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 havebelonged to photographer MoIly Adams and simply accompanied her on theseand 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.

ADM095: Unidentified Garden in Unknown LocationImage(s)Ireys, Alice Recknagel, 1911-2000, Landscape architectThe folder includes worksheets.


The images associated with this garden document what appears to be anewly installed flagstone patio and walkways for a suburban residential site.Expansive lawns and shrubs served as framers and accents. It is possible thatthe design was by Alice Recknagel Ireys; the name "Alice" is written acrosstwo 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 didmuch of the photography); further research in Ireys's papers at Smith Collegemay result in a positive identification. At this time the exact location of theproperty is not known.

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

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

This site, with its large, traditional home, appears to have been in an openrural area. Mature specimen trees articulated an expansive lawn and adjacentfields. At the rear of the house two sets of stairs led from the house (one ofthem 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 theother end a stepped brick walk led around the side of the house. The exactlocation of the property is not known.
