A screen planting of Evergreens. Our stock was extensively used in this and the effect was almost immediate. An 

 irregular arrangement like this harmonizes with the landscape better than the lines of a hedge would in such a position. All 

 the year this screen is effective. 



On Screening Things From View 



THERE are outlooks on every property more objectionable than others; some of them so objectionable 

 that the property is immensely improved when they are hidden from view by a planting of trees or 

 shrubbery. 



Plantings to successfully hide these views must be carefully thought out in every instance if the best 

 effects are to be had. 



If the object to be hidden is a tall one trees should be planted, at least in the background of the planta- 

 tion; while against objects of lower height shrubberv' can be effectively used. These shrubbery screens 

 can be made objects of great beauty by selecting varieties that will give an uninterrupted succession of 

 bloom and arranging them in a graceful natural way so that their purpose as a screen against an ugly view 

 is scarcely noticeable.
