A circular fountain plays in a sunken garden, ringed by concentric beds of red, yellow, blue, and white flowers. A flower-filled urn stands in the foreground, with a wall of palms behind. The printed caption calls it the "Beautiful Sunken Garden" of Miami Beach, and the ad copy promotes the city as "the Winter Playground of the nation," where December breezes are as warm as May. Such formal gardens were part of the resort's appeal to winter visitors.
