Mr. John Chaudron. Par\ Heights Ave., Baltimore, Md. 



^TPHIS attractive base-planting must not be neglected; here 

 -W- is used fine Retmospora squarrosa, Juniperus virgmiana. 

 Ilex crenata, Juniperus Sabina tamanscifolia, and Pachysandra 

 terminalis for the border and ground-cover. 



The last is one of the most valuable evergreen shrubs for 

 dense shade. Its fine, glossy, light green leaves form a thick 

 carpet which, constantly renewing and increasing itself, is at 

 once abundant and beautiful. In the winter it is rendered 

 even more effective by snowfall and frost. In May or June 

 appear greenish white flowers on small spikes. Around the 

 base of trees, where grass will not grow, it is invaluable. It 

 may also be planted beneath the low branches of evergreens 

 and shrubs, to hide the ground and give a satisfactory finish. 



To the west of the house is a very pleasing rose-spinney 

 and garden which is a bower of loveliness throughout the 

 summer months. 



The entire grounds are exceptionally well planned and 

 cared for, making this one of the most attractive homes in 

 the district.
