General
"A remarkably fine example of a small box garden laid out in geometric design - squares, triangles, circles, and diamonds is in Palmetto, Georgia. The beds are filled with flowering shrubs, lilies and Cape jasmines, larkspurs and hyacinths. The design is the original one, and reminds one of the garden at Holly Hedge in Camden, South Carolina, and probably dates about 1820."
Mount reads: "Edward Van Altena."
