Mrs. W. H. Camian, J^orihway , Guilford, Baltimore, Md. 



ERE is shown the interesting treatment which has been 

 given an attractive house of the Dutch Colonial type. 

 Attention is first drawn to the Chinese Arborvitae which 

 have been used as accent points throughout the planting. 



Across the front, special care was needed in selecting ever' 

 greens; this is always necessary on a northern exposure. 

 Japanese Holly of the broad-leaved variety has been employed. 

 Its foliage is dark glossy green and in the fall it is covered with 

 small black berries. Euonymus japonicus, compact in growth, 

 with waxy green foliage, was also used. Juniperus depressa 

 plumosa and Euonymus radicans vegetus tie in the planting 

 and give an irregular broken finish. 



As the planting was carried down either side of the house 

 into the sun, its character remains the same in feeling yet 

 changes slightly, being lightened by the feathery sprays of 

 Abelia. The planting which extends to the rear of the house 

 is made up of a background of Spiraea Thunbergi, with its 

 clouds of white bloom, against which are banked the dwarfer 

 Spiraea, Anthony Waterer, and Japanese Barberry.
