Introduced Trees. 



Most of the following trees must be obtained from 

 nurseries, though sometimes good specimens may be 

 found by the roadsides or in the fields:

PURPLE BEECH, SCHWERDLER'S MAPLE, 



HORSE CHESTNUT, EUROPEAN LARCH, 



VIRGILEA (YELLOW WOOD).

Evergreen Trees, Introduced. 



NORWAY SPRUCE, AUSTRIAN PINE, 



COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE, Swiss PINE, 

 NORDMAN'S FIR, JAPANESE CYPRESS (Rs- 



TINOSPORA). 



Ornamental Shrubs. 



No matter how small a place one may have, there may 

 be room for one or more ornamental shrubs or climbing 

 vines. If the land owned is only large enough for the 

 buildings and the necessary walks, shrubs may be 

 planted in the angles of the buildings or corners of the 

 fence, and vines may be made to grow over the gate-way, 

 veranda, or porch, or to cover the walls of the buildings. 

 On the north side we may plant rhododendrons, or Eng- 

 lish ivies may be made to cling to the walls, while 

 nearly any of the list on pp. 94, 95 may grow on the south, 

 east or west if the soil be made rich and mellow. In 

 some cases the soil may be only the gravel or clay ex- 

 cavated in making the cellar, or dump material, which 

 must be removed and replaced by good soil.
