TREES THEIR PLANTING- AND CARE- 75 



line of trees, a hedge, or a bank wall, trees and shrnbs may 

 be grouped in a more or less irregular yet artistic manner 

 some distance away with very pleasing effect. 



15. In the grouping of trees and shrubs there should be 

 an effort made to obtain vistas of as great extent as possible 

 in one or more places. By such an arrangement even small 

 places will appear of much larger extent than if only short 

 vistas within the grounds are provided, and more pleasing 

 to the eye from the fact that a greater variety of objects 

 may be seen at once. 



16. Ornamental grounds will be pleasing in proportion 

 to the number of beautiful pictures presented. If all parts 

 are seen at one time, interest is soon satisfied. It is possi- 

 ble, however, to provide very many pleasing features on 

 places even of small extent if the foregoing rules are care- 

 fully studied.
