A Bungalow Adorned 



The Value of Mass Planting 



Although this bungalow is well massed in shrub- 

 bery which fully doubles its pleasure value, the 

 planting is comparatively simple. 



The foundation planting around the front of the 

 piazza is a row of five Spirea Van Houttei with four 

 more for the corner mass. If the walls are brick 

 two Boston Ivy as shown in the picture will add much 

 to the effect. 



At the street the landscape gardener has planted a Jap- 

 anese Barberry hedge (5), eighteen inches apart, and a 

 eluinp of five Snowberries or Indian Currants at the en- 

 trance walk (6). 



On the righ» hand side of the entrance two clumps of the 

 Bnowberry (6) are used, with the Barberry hedge connecting 

 them. 



To make a good division clump on a narrow strip of lawn 

 the design at the right of the house is a good one. Two Roses 

 of Sharon (4) are met by a group of eight Indian Currants. 



For the corner ornament to the extreme left the designer 

 of the planting placed a group of five Rhodotypos or White 

 Kerria (8) supported on the right by the Barberry and back 

 along the line with a very interesting group of five Tamarix.
