and much of this has been done, a great many kinds of trees 
having been used, and many shrub plantations have been 
set out, especially at roadway and path intersections, 
utilizing considerable numbers of the same kinds of shrubs 
at different points. 
The general planting plan includes provision for par- 
tially surrounding the grounds, except at entrances, with 
border screens. This planting has already been accom- 
plished along the western and northern boundaries, and 
partly along the southern and eastern boundaries. These 
screens are composed of a very great variety of trees and 
shrubs, variously grouped, and average about fifty feet in 
width. 
29. Shelters and Pergolas 
Only a few of these ornamental, as well as useful, struc- 
tures have been erected, but the plan of development 
includes a number of them, and also several decorative 
fountains. 
LAKESIDE SHELTER 
A concrete shelter-house stands by the path on the south- 
western side of the upper lake, which lies just west of the 
water garden. The southern and eastern banks of this 
lake are decorated with masses of rhododendrons, mountain 
laurel, and other shrubs and trees. 
HERBACEOUS GARDEN PERGOLA 
A small, hexagonal, concrete pergola stands in a triangle 
formed by three paths in the forest edge on the eastern 
side of the herbaceous garden. 
SCHOOL GARDEN SHELTER 
This was completed in 1918 with funds contributed by 
Mrs. Frederick Ferris Thompson. It is very attractively 
located on a high rocky cliff overlooking Long Lake and the 
valley containing the Rose Garden.
