AJgarden walk bordered with Shrubbery and Hardy Perennials. There's not a day during the open montl 

 when such a planting as this does not have its attractions. There are beautiful Lilacs in April, followed unintc 

 ruptedly by a host of Hardy Perennials. Even during Winter months bright berries and curious bark pro^ 

 attractions. 



On Screening Things From View 



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

 so objectionable that the property is immensely improved when they are hiddej 

 from view by a planting of trees or shrubbery. Plantings to successfully hide th( 

 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 bad 

 ground of the plantation; while against objects of lower height shrubbery can be effe( 

 tively used. These shrubbery screens can be made objects of great beauty by selectii 

 varieties that will give an uninterrupted succession of bloom and arranging them in 

 graceful, natural way so that their purpose as a screen against an ugly view is scarcel 

 noticeable.
