PLANTS FOR SKY-LINE EFFECTS 



Unless the"skyline"orcontour of the shrubbery border is varied, the result 

 is liable to be flat and uninteresting, especially when viewed from a little dis- 

 tance. Therefore, in addition to color and leaf form, the habits of plant 

 material must be considered with a view to contrast or quiet harmony. For 

 instance, the vertical branches of the Lombardy Poplar make a striking con- 

 trast to the horizontal growth of the Thorns. Between these two extremes there 

 are many forms, offering a wide scope for various combinations.
