Mr. J. Swan Fricl{, 

 Charlecote, Guilford, 

 Baltimore, hid. 



'HIS magnificent place, at the inter- 



-U- section of Greenway and Charlecote 

 Roads, is enclosed by a soft-toned brick 

 wall, partially covered with English Ivy 

 and Euonymus radicans. Upon entering, 

 one is apparently transported to a large 

 country estate — a dream becomes a reality. 

 Surrounding the residence, and grouped 

 against the wall, are beautiful specimens 

 of Holly, White Birch, stately Beech, 

 rugged Austrian Pines, and graceful Hem- 

 locks (Tsuga canadensis). This Hemlock, 

 a native tree, holds a place second to none 

 for mass planting. It is invaluable for, 

 either woods or lawn; it grows well in 

 groups on hill or valley, thriving in any 

 well-drained loam. The Hemlock is not 

 partial to its surroundings, doing equally 

 well in sunshine or shade. As a hedge of 

 living green, winter or summer, it is un- 



surpassed.
