N. IVeigela rosea three feet from fence. Close to fence, on each 
side of it, the English ivy. 
O. Beds for creeping flowers as in previous plan. 
P. Bed for annuals or low shrubs. 
Q. Same as in former list. 
R. A bed of salvias, to fill in between the hemlocks. 
S. Cannas, or some lower bedding annuals. 
T. The lilac, RotJwiagensis rubra. 
U. Gordon’s flowering currant. 
V. Two dwarf rhododendrons, roseiun elegans and alhiGn can- 
didissima, and behind them towards the grape trellis and next 
the fence, the taller rhododendrons, grandijlormn and album 
elegans. These will fill as near to the trellis as anything 
should be planted. 
X. Rhododendrons, grandifloriun and candidisshna planted to- 
gether. 
Shrubs shown at the house-corners should be selected from 
those whose branches droop toward the ground, well covered with 
foliage, and whose flowers are fragrant ; such as the common 
syringa, bush honeysuckles, jasmines, wild roses, purple magnolia, 
etc., etc. ; the beauty and abundance of the foliage throughout the 
season being of more importance than the blossoms. But there 
are shrubs which combine nearly every merit of foliage, bloom, 
and fragrance, and these are often the common sorts best known. 
It is not practicable to name in detail everything which may be 
planted on a lot of this size, and the two lists just given will form a 
ground-work into which may be interwoven a great variety of quite 
small shrubs without breaking the arrangement intended. 
In whatever way this place is planted, the area in lawn is so 
narrow that it can only be made to look well by the nicest 
keeping.
