GENERAL LANDSCAPE PLANTING 



4. PLANTS VALUABLE FOR SPECIMEN USE 

 AND FOR ACCENT PURPOSES 



These plants as a rule, should seldom be used in large 

 groups for mass planting effects. Their best effect is obtained 

 as single specimens or in groups of from one to three specimens 

 used entirely to produce an accent either by quality of 

 flowers, color of foliage, peculiar habit of growth, texture, 

 or color of twigs.
