A Planting Plan for a Deep-Bayed Border—By I. G. Tabor 
SHOWING HOW TO CREATE REAL LANDSCAPE VISTAS IN A BACK YARD 100 FEET DEEP— 
THE EVERGREENS, WHICH ARE TO SCREEN UNSIGHTLY OBJECTS, TO FORM A WINDBREAK, 
AND TO ACT AS BACKGROUND;FOR4THE FLOWERS, SHOULD BE PLANTED IN AUGUST 
HERE is no arrangement whereby 
greater depth or more sense of distance 
can be given in small space, than the device 
of planting the shrubbery so as to form deep 
recesses like those shown. From the house 
the view is into each recess or bay, while 
white, and the palest mauve and pink tints 
next to it so as get a blending of the colors. 
When all the blossoms have gone, there 
will still be the scarlet berries of the ever- 
green thorn (No. 4), and the fruits of the 
cornels, euonymous and roses (Nos. 3, 14, 
and 11) to brighten the distance. 
The second recess is different entirely,

This border is 100 feet long, and is designed to exhibit its best effect when seen from the house. From the points A and B one would look right into the bays, 
adding greatly to the apparent size of the gardén. From C, different groups of plants come into view
