that advertising signs as well as the fence will be screened by the border plantation. This view is particularly instructive as 
showing the outlines of shrubbery beds and illustrating the correct method of planting in beds as opposed to holes in the 
turf.

and appreciate this fact and sensibly 
never let up in telling a good thing. 
The Boston & Albany is not the 
only road exploiting the advantages 
of hardy material for railway plant- 
iitg. The Pennsylvania uses it quite 
extensively, in conjunction, however, 
with greenhouse and annual material; 
the Chicago & Northwestern has a 
number of splendid individual exam- 
ples of such planting, particularly on 
its station grounds in certain Chicago 
suburbs, and several other roads have 
more or less of it, but 'the Boston & 
Albany is, we believe, still the only 
one to thus beautify its line or any 
part of its line in its entirety with 
hardy and mostly native plants. Things

improved ground adjacent to its line.

and possibly others may introduce it 
for limited purposes, but it is quite 
certain that our one example of the 
consistent use of hardy material will 
win further consideration among rail- 
way men and be more and more fol- 
lowed as its good qualities come to be 
better known. * 
The admirable planting on the Bos-

the New' York Central system, has

in this periodical, but does not grow 
stale by repetition. Indeed a thing

& ALBANY. 
Station designed by H. H. Richardson, grounds by F. L. Olm- 
stead about 1883. Traffic moderately heavy. The large exist- 
ing American Beech, White Pine, White Willow, Hemlock 
Spruce and Elm trees determined the outline and grade of these 
grounds, — both being fixed to save the trees.
