A HILLSIDE PARK 



landscape gardening that the dominant note must 

 be followed with a harmonious treatment, a high 

 hill made higher, a rugged slope more rugged, a 

 deep valley made deeper, thus invariably following 

 Nature's lead. 



All walks are shaded at intervals of forty to 

 fifty feet with large trees; and against the support- 

 ing park wall above are planted masses of ever- 

 greens and deciduous trees and shrubs of a more 

 or less woodland type. The largest types of trees 

 are planted where the wall is highest, thus pre- 

 venting their ultimate growth from shutting off 

 the view from St. Nicholas Terrace of the park 

 and surrounding coimtry.
