The Shrubs in this border came from our Nurseries. In addition to shielding the adjoining house and gar- 

 age, this border gives an uninterrupted succession of bloom during the Spring and Summer months which can 

 be enjoyed just as much from within the house as out of doors.

This attractive planting was pro- 

 duced by three seasons of growth, 

 with stock from our Nurseries. It is 

 the entrance to the garden wallc which 

 can be made one of the most attract- 

 ive features of the lawn. The desire 

 to see what view awaits you at the 

 next curve always entices you on, and 

 makes a garden scheme of this kind 

 most fascinating.
