AN EVER GREEN SUBURBAN GARDEN. 



The accompanying picture shows a 

 bit of garden scenery which even in 

 the dead of winter is never quite 

 desolate or cheerless. The strong 

 features of the grouping are the 

 Rhododendrons, Kalmias and broad- 

 leaved evergreen Berberises with the 

 rich greenery of the Euonymus which 

 clothes the trunks of the old. giant 

 apple tree in never-fading verdure. In 

 the rock-bordered beds are Daphne 

 cneorum. Cotoneasters, Iberis sem- 

 pervirens. Ledums. Andromedas and 

 Leucotlioes wliich add an always 

 green finish to the scene, while the 

 heavy masses of the larger growing 

 material form a lively background 

 against which the pink-flowered dog- 

 wood on the left and other deciduous 



subjects find In their blooming season 

 an effective contrast. 



Winding imder the shade of the 

 shrubbery in the background is a lit- 

 tle fern-bordered path where are to 

 be found some of the most beautiful 

 of the crested and fringed forms of 

 the hardy ferns, brightened in spring- 

 time, while the ferns are still dor- 

 mant, with Triltiums, Frittillerias, 

 grape hyacinths and other early flow-- 

 ering bulbous bloom. 



Like several other pictures we have 

 published recently, this is a view in 

 the little garden of the e litor of Hok- 

 TKii.TfRE. Our object in giving pub- 

 licity to these home pictures is to 

 show in our humble way how much 

 it is possible for one to accomplish 

 in varied garden effect within a very 

 limited space.
