42 PLANNING AND PLANTING 



with the indiscriminate planting of trees and 

 shrubs nor the locating of flower beds anywhere 

 and everywhere scattered about the lawn. That 

 an unbroken expanse of greensward is a beautiful 

 picture in itself. 



Trees and shrubs have their rightful places, and 

 as many or more bedding plants are used than 

 ever before, but the latter are more largely con- 

 fined to formal gardens, and to border plantings in 

 narrow bed's located along the edges of walks or 

 drives, and inside the hedges. 



We note the beauty and charm lent to the dis- 

 play by the locating of a gazing globe and pedestal 

 in the center of a flower bed or amidst the ever- 

 green planting. 



That an effective touch of color involving the 

 minimum of care and) attention is had by sur- 

 rounding a Koster's Blue Spruce with assorted 

 Evergreens, and an outside row planted to scarlet 

 sage and dusty miller for a border. 



Our trip has shown us several types of plantings 

 in narrow beds right back of the privet hedges, 

 all of which were very effective. Some of the 

 plantings are of perennials, others of massed ever- 

 greens, and still others of low growing cannas or 

 other annual bedding plants. In some cases it is 

 only in the angles of the hedge that the planting 

 is made, in others they extend clear across the 

 front and down the sides.
