82 GAKDEN ORNAMENTS 



while Colonial urns are in keeping with wooden 

 posts and lantern effects belong to iron gateways. 

 The latter, of course, are effective for lighting at 

 night. Gas pipes can be laid under the roadway, 

 connected with the ornamentation in such a way 

 that they can be turned on from the house. 



In many entrances, side gates, similar to the 

 main ones have been inserted, which relieve the 

 main entrance from use Sy pedestrians. They can 

 be so laid out as not to interfere with the use of 

 the motor cars. They should be separated from 

 the main driveway by a turf border and covered 

 with gravel. 



Planting is very effective for this feature of the 

 ground, and trees, that is if the right sort are 

 chosen, are admirable, used in this connection. 

 "White birches lend a picturesqueness that cannot 

 be equaled, but they are short-lived. The elm with 

 its graceful branches seems to fit into every land- 

 scape scheme. Do not plant them too near the 

 posts. If you do, their roots will reach out often 

 causing upheaval and creating havoc. For best 

 effects the trees should be used outside rather than 

 inside the entrance. In the latter case they are 

 too apt to cut off the view.
