Individual Specimens 
The day has now gone by when single specimen trees scattered here and there 
over the lawn were considered in good taste. 
On large estates groups of several specimens may be planted in carefully selected 
spots. On small estates however, especially on suburban lots, the lack of space precludes 
such grouping. In such case, interesting specimens should be made into border or screen 
plantings, giving each tree or shrub more space than ordinarily used, so that it may develop 
its individual charactei'istics unhampered. 
The most interesting specimens are to be found among evergreens. Almost all 
the evergreens listed on pages 50 to 57 are interesting for their individual characteristics.
