EVERGREENS IN THE LANDSCAPE 25 



but equally because an evergreen in northern lands cannot be 

 so casually shoved into a planting as may deutzia and maple, 

 sufficient use is not made of evergreens in plantings for their 

 all-season wear. If more care is employed, not only in attend- 

 ing their physical wants, but in studying further their more 

 effective staging as objects in the landscape picture, gardens 

 will be built more finely. Enthusiasm for the artistic value of 

 conifers, however, must be tempered by a thorough knowledge 

 of their physical limitations.
