Mr. William A. Tuer\e, Charles St. and Bedford Sq., Guilford, Baltimore, Md. 



HpHIS home is one of the show-places of Guilford. It is 

 -W- located on a prominent corner, facing west. The front of 

 the house is planted with Juniperus virginiana, Rhododendron 

 Hybrids, and Hardy Evergreen Azaleas (Hinodigiri and Indica 

 alba), Taxus brevifolia, Thuja pyramidalis, and Juniperus 

 depressa plumosa, the rich dark green of Cedars, Yews, and 

 Arborvitaes blending into and enhancing the beauty of the 

 rugged grey masonry, make a pleasing contrast to the smooth 

 green lawn. 



The rose-garden, nestling in the east "L" of the residence, 

 extends a gladsome welcome and seems to be an extra outdoor 

 living-room, with its flagstone walk of soft-toned native stone, 

 the dwarf Boxwood edging framing the rose-beds, and the 

 glory of fragrant Radiance Roses, which variety was used 

 almost exclusively. All in all, this rose-garden is well worth 

 the wide attention which it has attracted. 



Mr. Tuerke is an enthusiastic gardener with a true appre- 

 ciation and love of his plants. The Pansies, in which he takes 

 great pride, are planted each fall among the Roses, and in 

 the spring repay the attention given them by an abundance 

 of colorful bloom until the Roses come into their own, when 

 they modestly retire.
