American RC convalescent home for nurses at Putney, a London suburb. Leaving the Convalescent Home, Colebrook Lodge, for a spin over the thousand acres of health and common just outside the door of the estate. The high thick hedges and cunningly-planted shrubbery are an excellent example of the intensive floriculture practiced so successfully in London's suburbs. The brilliant bush which lights up the dark masses of the hedge is goldern privet, while nearby is holly, the two-toned kind growing by the side of the familiar Christmas variety
