ing-currants, berberries, deutzias, red-twigged dogwoods, and honey¬ 
suckles around them. At f a choice selection of the most pleasing 
shrubs, either deciduous or evergreen ; of the latter an assortment 
of the best rhododendrons will make a superb group. At g, a 
Magnolia machrophylla; h, nearest the house, the Kolreuteria 
paniculata; h, near the gate, the osage orange. At o, in the 
centre of the front, a purple beech; at m and 71, groups composed 
of the weeping Norway spruce {inverta) for the centres, and the 
golden arbor-vitae, and the erect yew ( Taxus stricta or erecta), the 
golden yew and the Podocarpus japonica , on opposite sides of them. 
If for this central space it is desired to make a quick mass of 
foliage in the place of these small groups, a weeping willow, or a 
group of two or three osage orange trees planted at o, a group of 
deutzias at m , and of weigelas or bush honeysuckles at will 
quickly effect it. At the left of the gateway on the right, a pair of 
pines, the white and Austrian ; p and q, the dwarf mountain pine 
(P. pumila) and the mugho pine {P. mugho ) ; r, the dwarf white 
pine ; and between these, while small, plant evergreen shrubs. At 
x, is a belt of shrubs terminated by a pair of pines, the Austrian 
and the Bhotan. At t, a pair of weeping birches; at u, u, two 
pairs of trees, the purple-leaved and the gold-leaved sycamore- 
maples at one end, and the sugar and scarlet-maples at the other, 
each pair near together ; and between the trees, while they are 
young, a group of deciduous shrubbery. At v, a Magnolia soulan- 
geana; at w, the weeping silver-fir ( Picea pectinata pendula); along 
the boundary of the lot in the rear of w, a belt of hemlocks broken 
by an occasional spur of spruce or pine trees; x, x, x, weeping 
arbor-vitags, junipers, or other elegant slender evergreens ; and at 
z, another Magnolia machrophylla. On so large a place there will 
be room around the house, and in the various groups, and along 
the marginal belts of trees and shrubs, to introduce a hundred 
things which we have not named ; and a reference to the plate of 
symbols in connection with the ground-plan will explain what 
we have not touched upon.
