TREES, SHRUBS AND PLANTS 



Plantings properly arranged to enhance the architecture of the house 



of but a few kinds, rather than one or two specimens of several kinds. 

 The kinds of shrubs selected should be repeated in the various groups and 

 masses not precisely in the same combinations but sufficiently so that the 

 effect of one planting may be harmonious with the others. In this manner 

 unity of effect may be obtained. 



Plantings should be massed about the base of the buildings, using many specimens 



of but few kinds rather than one or two specimens of several kinds.
