PLANTING PLAN 



For a property 50x100 feet. 



In this scheme the treat- 

 ment is of formal character 

 the only informal part being 

 in front of the porch, and the 

 small plantation at the south- 

 west corner. The diagram rep- 

 resents a property 50 ft. wide 

 by 118 ft. deep to the' curb. 



The stepping stone walk on 

 the west side is placed between 

 two borders of perennials and 

 leads to the enclosure at the 

 rear. 



Shrubbery has been placed 

 at intervals in the beds to lift 

 them up and break the mo- 

 notony. This feature is con- 

 tinued along the eastern fence 

 line, while at the base of the 

 house the planting is confined 

 to the hardy perennials with 

 the exception of two ever- 

 greens placed at the ends of 

 the beds. 



The plantation in front of 

 the porch consists of an assort- 

 ment of conifers, in back of 

 which a variety of vines are 

 placed for color effect. Bulbs 

 for Spring, followed by low 

 growing annuals, would give 

 an additional interest to this 

 plantation. 



The hedge along the front 

 is the Hemlock Spruce, and it 

 should be kept at a height of 

 three to four feet.
