PLANS OF RESIDENCES 
E (next to the fence). Dwarf weeping juniper, y, oblonga pejidula. 
E (in the centre of front group). The pendulous Norway spruce, 
Abies excelsa mverta^ the central stem of which must be kept 
erect by tying to a stake until it is from six to eight feet 
high. 
F, F. One, the dwarf Norway spruce, Abies gregoriana^ and the 
other the dwarf silver-fir, Picea pectinata compacta. 
G (in the front group). Golden arbor-vitm. 
G (opposite bow-window of living-room). A bed of assorted 
geraniums. 
(opposite dining-room). A single plant of Colleus 'verschafelti. 
, H, H. Hemlocks ; for the left-hand front corner use Sargent’s 
hemlock, Abies canadensis inverta ; — its main stem to be kept 
tied to a stake until it has a firm growth six feet high. 
I. I, I (on the left side of walk). Dwarf-box for clipping. 
I (on right side of walk). The weeping arbor-vitae and the dwarf 
weeping juniper, y. oblonga pendiila. 
J. Podocarpics japonica^ if protected in winter. 
K. Parson’s arbor-vitae. Thuja occidentalis compacta, two feet from 
the fence. Between K and L plant a golden arbor-vitae. 
L. The pendulous silver-fir, Picea pectinata pendula, four feet from 
the fence. Directly back of it, midway between it and the 
fence, the erect yew, Taxus erecta, whose deep green foliage 
will contrast well with the golden arbor-vitaes near it, and as 
its hardiness in all localities is not so well proved as that of 
the other trees near it, its placement back of them, and near 
to the fence, will serve to insure its safety from cold. 
M. Irish and Swedish junipers near the fence. 
N. The dwarf white-pine, P. strobus compacta, four feet from the 
fence ; and behind, on each side, small rhododendrons. Four 
feet above the pine, near the fence, plant a common hem- 
lock, and when it is large enough to form a back-ground for 
the dwarf pine — say from eight to ten feet high — keep it well 
clipped back to prevent it from spreading over the dwarfs, and 
taking up too much of the lawn. 
O. O. Round beds for verbenas or other creeping flowers of con- 
stant brilliancy.
