birch, a Weymouth Pine {Finns strobus\ a larch, a Yellow Cypress {Thujopsis 
borealis ), and a Mock Orange {Philadelphus coronarius ), and nearer 
the centre of the west border 
a couple of the East Indian 
Cedar {Cedrus deodara ), and 
some of Darwin’s Barberry {Ber- 
beris Darwinii ). Beyond these, 
in and about the south-west 
corner, plant some Hemlock 
Spruce ( Abies Canadensis ), a 
variegated elder, one or two 
scarlet thorns, a lilac, a Guelder 
Rose ( Viburnum opulus) ; and 
turning the corner on the south 
side plant phillyreas, flowering 
currants, a purple berberis, and 
some of the spiraeas. From this 
point eastward, the planting of 
the border (/) may be limited 
to a hedge of yew and privet, 
with an occasional laurel and 
holly. The hedge may be kept 
trimmed without offence, and 
the mixture of foliage will redeem 
it from formality. At the south¬ 
east corner, where the border 
widens, a group of variegated 
hollies, Lawson's Cypress {Cu~ 
pressus Lawsoniana ), and juniper 
would look well, and by their 
aid a neighbour’s windows may 
be judiciously screened. In the 
oval border (e) we should be 
inclined to put a Pendulous Birch {Betula pendula ), flanked by plants of 
the Hemlock Spruce {Abies Canadensis ). 
The setting of foliage in which our Garden of Pictures is to be framed is 
now complete, and unlike frames generally, it will be found to be picturesque
