final bloom of the Chrysanthemums. This screen-planting, so 

 effectively used here, has tall Red Cedars for its background, 

 with heavy clumps of Hybrid Rhododendrons and the rugged, 

 irregular fronds of the Juniperus chinensis Pfltzeriana, the 

 whole being likewise blended to the ground by low-growing 

 Juniperus depressa plumosa and the slightly higher, more 

 irregular growth of Taxus cuspidata. 



Continuing this screen about the garden, Cedars have been 

 placed to serve a double purpose — to afford pleasing vistas 

 from the sun-porch and to hide offending spots on neighboring 

 properties. 



Unfortunately, the planting at the servants' entrance does 

 not show in the photograph below. This deserves special 

 attention, as it required most careful arrangement in order 

 that there should be nothing unsightly from any angle of 

 approach. Cedars again dominate in irregular groups, in 

 company with Crataegus Pyracantha, the beautiful Evergreen 

 Thorn, which is lightened in the spring by clusters of white 

 flowers and adds a brilliant touch of color in the fall, carrying 

 its orange fruits well into the winter. 



The planting material has been selected with such care and 

 forethought that as the years pass it will not outgrow its 

 usefulness, but ever increase in beauty and charm.
