PARK AND CEMETERY. 
The planting on a place of this size should be 
composed almost wholly of shrubs, herbs and small 
trees. 
Such trees as maples, elms, lindens, birches, 
beech, which spread ultimately from forty to sixty 
feet should not be planted. Such small trees as 
the flowering dogwoods, red-bud, kolreuteria, Ja- 
pan tree lilacs, having a spread of from fifteen to 
twenty-five feet, will give all the shade required, 
and be attractive in foliage and flower. 
rods and sunflowers, may be added with the shrubs 
of the border plantations. 
The beds of the flower or terrace garden should 
be completely filled throughout the season with a 
brilliant and varied display of hardy perennials, an- 
nuals and tender plants backed up by shrubs or 
vine covered fence or arbor. Here would be the 
place for hollyhocks, phlox, Japan anemone, sweet 
williams, pinks, poppies, seal flower, marigolds, 
heliotrope, geraniums, cannas, and the many other 
garden favorites, arranged with the taller varieties 
at the back and varied from year to year. This 
would not however be the best place for such use- 
ful cut flowering plants as the rose, sweet pea, nas- 
turtiums, mignonette, which would be used freely 
in the house if available. Such flowers would be 
best grown in rows in the vegetable garden as a 
Such shrubs as the mock orange, synnga, Tar- 
tarian honeysuckle, Persian lilac, California privet. 
Rose of Sharon, should be used very sparingly for 
they will ultimately spread from eight to twelve 
feet. The deutzias, weigelias, Japan quince, Van 
Houtte’s and Thunberg’s spira;as, which spread from 
five to seven feet are useful for border plantations, 
and such small shrubs as the Thunberg’s barberry, 
Indian currant, snowberry and dwarf deutzias are in- 
dispensable in narrow places and to face down taller 
plants. 
These shrubs have a short season of bloom, how- 
ever, so in order to extend the period of flowering 
through the summer such strong growing herbace- 
ous perennials as the paeony, native asters, golden- 
crop in the same manner as would be lettuce or 
tomatoes. 
There is nothing that will so effectually soften 
the rigid and angular lines of a building and blend 
it into the surrounding vegetation as vines, which 
should be used liberally. The Chinese wistaria, 
grape and pipe vine, grow very rapidly and can be 
trained high, the Virginia creeper and bitter sweet 
will also grow high, the forms of clematis, espec- 
ially Clematis paniculata, the Japanese evergreen 
and other species of honeysuckle, are the best cov- 
ers for lattice fences and low trellises. 
With the exception of the flowering dogwood, 
California privet, Indian currant and bitter-sweet, 
the plants named need a sunny place to make a sat-
