VEST CHESTER, PA« 



P. M. Sharpies has purchased from 

 Hoopes, Bro. & Thomas, of Maple Ave- 

 nue Nurseries, 40,000 plants, generally 

 shrubbery, which will be used in beauti- 

 fying the extensive grounds about the 

 Sharpies villa, on the ridge, West Goshen 

 township. The price said to have been 

 paid for this large purchase of rare and 

 fine shrubbery, evergreens, trees, etc., is 

 about $25,000. 



The plants cover a plot of ground of 

 about twenty-six acres in extent, which 

 belongs to Mr. Sharpies, being a part of 

 the old Bishop property, on the Boot 

 road,. in West Gtoshen, and attached now 

 to the large plot, a part of the grounds 

 about his big mansion. 



Hoopes, Bro. & Thomas some time ago 

 leiased the land from the Bishop estate 

 and have used it for nursery purposes. 

 It was purchased by Mr. Sharpies sub- 

 ject to the lease, wMch has another year 

 to run. The firm has, as stated, planted 

 it with shrubbery and would have had to 

 move or burn the plants next spring if 

 not sold* The nursery firm, therefore, 

 having disposed of the lot in bulk, sim- 

 ply relinquish their lease and Mr. Shar- 

 pies gains possession of his land, as well 

 as 40,000 pieces of shrubbery, which can 

 be removed at will and planted wher- 

 ever Qeeded on the large villa grounds 

 by his landscape gardener.

SHRUBBERY. 



One of the recent articles of the pub- 

 licity service of the National Council of 

 Horticulture was devoted to a discussion 

 of the principles of shrubbery planting, 

 in part as follows: 



Shrubbery, as a rule, is used as a 

 frame for a lawn, and the design of the 

 shrubbery frame should be formed on 

 the same principles as any other frame — 

 a picture frame, the border of a rug, 

 etc. That is, the frame should harmonize 

 with the picture it encloses. The average 

 shrubbery plantation defies this doctrine 

 and is a thing of shreds and patches,

made up of showy bushes planted with 

 little regard for the effect of shape, color 

 and general appearance. 



In choosing plants to grow side by 

 side, consider the foliage and flowers as 

 carefully as you consider the shape of 

 the bush. Do not put large masses of 

 light green foliage next to masses of 

 dark, or you have a patchy effect. By 

 choosing your shrubs carefully with re- 

 gard to flowering time, the border may 

 be made a delight in the summer, with 

 one or more shrubs always in bloom. 

 Two shrubs that flower at the same time 

 should not be placed close together if the 

 colors of their flowers clash.
