the other bay and act as a unifying factor, Masses 

 of native Rose Bay are placed in back of hybrid 

 varieties. There are crimson Rhododendron " Par- 

 sons," pink Rhododendron "H. Sargent," and white 

 Rhododendron album elegant. They are arranged 

 in a continuous easy flowing line around the bay. 

 Where the boundary rounds in toward the gate- 

 way the Rhododendron masses merge into Laurels 

 and these give place to dwarf Rhododendron Wil- 

 soni. Where the planting approaches the house, 

 the Rhododendrons are supplanted by Azalea 

 hinodegiri and by the lovely Azalea indica alba. 

 A few Magnolia stellata and Cedars are placed in 

 back of them, the lovely Magnolia flowers acting 

 as forerunners to the even lovelier bloom of white 

 Azaleas. 



This planting off^ers flower eff^ects of great beauty. 

 Take, for example, the Andromedas with tender 

 white sprays, the pure white Azaleas, the delicate 

 Laurels, the brilliant Rhododendrons. Each eff^ect 

 is distributed through the various sections of the 

 planting. Besides, emphatic color spots are pro- 

 vided, here by a group of bright Azalea hinodegiri, 

 there by a few starry Magnolias, here by a cluster 

 of Dwarf Horse-Chestnuts, there by a mass of Tree
