and much of this has been done, a great many kinds of trees 

 having been used, and many shrub plantations have been 

 set out, especially at roadway and path intersections, 

 utilizing considerable numbers of the same kinds of shrubs 

 at different points. 



The general planting plan includes provision for par- 

 tially surrounding the grounds, except at entrances, with 

 border screens. This planting has already been accom- 

 plished along the western and northern boundaries, and 

 partly along the southern and eastern boundaries. These 

 screens are composed of a very great variety of trees and 

 shrubs, variously grouped, and average about fifty feet in 

 width. 



29. Shelters and Pergolas 



Only a few of these ornamental, as well as useful, struc- 

 tures have been erected, but the plan of development 

 includes a number of them, and also several decorative 

 fountains. 



Lakeside Shelter 



A concrete shelter-house stands by the path on the south- 

 western side of the upper lake, which lies just west of the 

 water garden. The southern and eastern banks of this 

 lake are decorated with masses of rhododendrons, mountain 

 laurel, and other shrubs and trees. 



Herbaceous Garden Pergola 



A small, hexagonal, concrete pergola stands in a triangle 

 formed by three paths in the forest edge on the eastern 

 side of the herbaceous garden. 



School Garden Shelter 



This was completed in 191 8 with funds contributed by 

 Mrs. Frederick Ferris Thompson. It is very attractively 

 located on a high rocky cliff overlooking Long Lake and the 

 valley containing the Rose Garden.
