PLANS OF RESIDENCES 
A, A. Two Scamston elms (planted two feet from fence and walk) 
grafted on straight stocks eight feet from the ground, to form 
a tabular topped arch over the gateway, by interweaving the 
side branches which are nearest to each other. These grow 
so rapidly that all the space within ten feet from the centre 
of the gate will in six years be deeply shaded by them, so 
that only those plants which are known to flourish in deep 
shade should be planted near the gate. Among these the 
English ivy may occupy the same place in the corner as 
before.
