Primitive Man and Primitive Woman, by Albert Weinert, are seen as
finials around the court. He is a simple hunter, or a man whose pastime
consists in such amusement as feeding fish to the pelican. She is a
woman whose chief work is to rear children.

Leo Lentelli's Aquatic Maids are grouped at the bases of the columns in
front of the tower. It was at first planned to have the fountains play
to the tops of the columns on which sit the aquatic maids shooting their
arrows into the waters, but a change in the plans left the aquatic maids
high and dry, hence your wonderment at why they sit aloft.

(Leo Lentelli was born in Bologna, Italy, but now lives in New York).

The Italian cypresses, tall and slender, stand like sentinels in front
of the arches.

Orange trees, ten feet in height, heavy with fruit, stand in opulence
before the cypresses.

Balled acacias, with repeated regularity of shape, produce in this
charming cloister a delightful formalism.

Solid beds of pink hyacinths add a glowing touch of color in this
beauteous garden.

The creeping juniper is the border used.
