way to show the arrangement of the different species. Minor changes in 
arrangement would naturally be made as the plants are put in place. 
Large refined shrubs along the street, taller coarser ones at the rear 
of the lot, a high screen on the northeast, and low flowering shrubs on 
the west lawn—this is in general the scheme of arrangement. Some of 
the minor effects that we note from a study of the plan are: broad-leaved 
evergreen shrubs south of the play lawn; Viburnums along the path to 
the south; tall-growing Roses in the region of the laundry yard; Bar- 
berries along the entrance drive; Lilacs, Weigelas, and Deutzias along 
the street; yellow pea-flowers in the first pair of rectangular beds: Azaleas 
in the second pair; low, pink-flowered shrubs with evergreen foliage in 
the third; vines with heavy foliage or showy flowers on the roof of the 
west piazza. 
There are even individual shrub groups that are specially placed: 
a mass of Red Bud at the end of the play lawn in May; a blaze of vellow 
Golden Bells on the southwest corner of the house; fragrance in the leaves 
below the wall of the south terrace; winter berries and bright twigs on 
the taller shrubs at the north of the house; and low dense evergreens 
where they will be particularly admired in winter. These lesser details 
can be indefinitely elaborated, and upon their character will depend 
much of the pleasure given by the planting to garden lovers.
