Cercis caiiadensis ; at Magnolia conspiciia ; at g, Magnolia mach- 
rophylla; at li^ a mass of hemlocks ; at i, a pair of weeping Japan 
sophoras ; and behind them the white-flowering dogwood, the 
broad-leaved euonymus, and the variegated-leaved elder j at y, a 
Norway spruce in front of a hemlock hedge ; at k (near the front 
veranda), a dwarf white pine in the centre, the Hudson’s Bay fir on 
one side, and the dwarf silver-fir, Ficea pectmata cojnpacta, on the 
other. While these are small, fill in between them with low com- 
pact rhododendrons. At / and ;;z, Austrian pines headed back 
from time to time to force a dense growth ; at a belt of 
hemlocks and arbor-vitms ; o^ Sargent’s hemlock ; /, the weeping 
juniper, y. ohlonga pendula, or the Indian catalpa. The shrubbery 
adjoining the house on the east side may be composed largely of 
rhododendrons ; on the west side, of shrubs and bedding-plants 
that flourish in great light and heat. 
The rose-bed adjoining the front middle group may be omitted 
without detriment to the plan, and a smaller rose-bed made in the 
triangle formed by the intersecting branches of the carriage-road, 
where a vase is marked, for which a rose-post may be substituted. 
Besides the climbing roses to be planted one on each side of the 
post, there will be room in this triangle for three compact rose- 
bushes. 
The flower-beds and vases shown on the plan need no explana- 
tion to the intelligent reader. 
We desire to call the reader’s attention to the fact that this 
house-plan, and the size and form of the lot, are precisely the same 
as in Plate XVII, following ; but the lots have different exposures, 
the houses are placed quite differently on them, and the ground 
designs are totally changed to suit the circumstances. A com- 
parison of the two is a good study.
