WHERE TO PLANT WHAT 



ing-quince (Pyrus japonica), with the trumpet- 

 creeper {Tecoma radicans), to chmb out of it. 



About *' North Hall," the third building, we 

 planted more quietly, and most quietly on its 

 outer, its northern, side where our lateral 

 *' swell" (rising effect) begins, or ends, accord- 

 ing to the direction of your going, beginning 

 with that modest but pretty bloomer the Ligus- 

 trum ibota, a perfectly hardy privet more grace- 

 ful than the California {ovalifolium) species, 

 which really has little business in icy New Eng- 

 land away from the seashore. 



I might have remarked before that nearly all 

 the walls of these three buildings, as well as the 

 gymnasium on the far side of the campus, were 

 already adorned with the ''Boston i\'y" {Am- 

 pelopsis Veitchii). With the plantings thus de- 

 scribed, and with the g^^mnasium surrounded 

 by yet stronger greenery; with the back fence 

 masked by willows, elders and red-stemmed 

 cornus; and with a number of haphazard foot- 

 paths reduced to an equally convenient and far 

 more graceful few, our scheme stands complete 

 in its first, but only, please notice, its first, phase.
