LANDSCAPE GARDENING STUDIES 



bayberry of the coast; California privet and its 

 relative L. ibota; hydrangeas and hibiscus suc- 

 ceed; the crimson rambler roses and viburnums; 

 bush honeysuckles; Philadelphus and barberry, 

 and even the white dogwood. Hybrid tea roses 

 flourish in this sea air and even, in a secluded 

 corner, the ordinarily tender Aucuba japonica, 

 the bushy dogwoods, Alba sanguinia, and the 

 others, forsythia and the Japanese raspberry 

 (Rhodotypus kerrioides). These shrubs, helped 

 by the rich clay-loam top soil, all are vigorous 

 on the portions of the park where the spray does 

 not reach them. 



Another interesting feature of this park is the 

 brilliant show of bedding-plants displayed through- 

 out the season. Cannas, geraniums, and other 

 plants of similar character are set in large beds. 

 These bedding-plants seem better here by the sea 

 than elsewhere. 



Hydrants are placed at distances of two hundred 

 feet throughout the park, and the needed moisture is 

 liberally supplied grass, trees, and shrubs through- 

 out the summer.
