THE YUCCA WALK 



Until recent years the Yucca plant has not 

 been appreciated as it should in garden making by 

 Amateur Gardeners, except in instances where 

 the amateur was striving for individualism and 

 real personality in the garden. In public gardens, 

 parks, the Arnold Arboretum, etc., the stately 

 Yucca has been given a full measure of favor and 

 prominence, but it was an amateur who conceived 

 the Yucca walk, one of the most distinguished 

 garden achievements in its realization. The 

 Yucca (Filamentosa) is, you must agree, an ex- 

 tremely decorative plant, both in flower and when 

 its divergent leaves, bayonet pointed and almost 

 evergreen, present a truly tropical appearance. 

 The Yucca walk was made through a velvety 

 lawn, as a practical pathway from the house ter- 

 race to a tea-house almost a hundred and twenty 

 feet distant. Treading stones were fitted into the 

 sod regularly for a natural stepping all the way
