GREEN AUTUMNAL FOLIAGE. 



113 



Did space permit, we should like to dwell ou the beauty 

 in autumn of various privets, Daphne cneorum of tiny ever- 

 green foliage, and certain of the Elceagnus species, notably 

 the gray E. Mortensis and the robust E. longipes, with 

 large leaves and red berries, as well as the beautiful fall 

 climbers, evergreen honeysuckles, Ahebias, Virginia silk, 

 etc. All these should be planted with taste here and there 

 about the lawn, supported by occasional masses of rhodo- 

 dendrons, laurels, mahonias, and other evergreen shrubs. 

 Thus adorned, the lawn, in the line air and lights of autumn 

 and during bright days, may well tempt us to linger amid 

 its yet beautiful foliage, where crimson and gold are mingled 

 plentifully with green.
