Against the Green of Tall Junipers and Japanese Cypress the Bright Twigs and 
Berries of Deciduous Shrubs Stand Out in Pleasing Contrast; an 
Atmosphere of Warmth and Welcome Lends its Charm 
on the Coldest Days of Winter 
Evergreens in the Winter 
Landscape 
I N the hot days of late Summer and early Autumn, when our 
thoughts of planting are probably centered in the satisfac¬ 
tion of the cool shade of spreading trees near the house, and 
the border plantations of shrubs bounding sunny stretches of 
lawn to exclude the view and dust of the highway, one is apt 
to think but seldom of what the Winter landscape has in store 
for us. Shall we allow the beauty of our planting to disappear 
in October shorn by the falling leaves of Autumn to be a pros¬ 
pect of bare branches for nearly half the year until next April ? 
During the coming Winter months our grounds can be as at¬ 
tractive as in their Summer garb, if we but lend a thought to 
the wealth of Evergreen Trees and Shrubs, which by judicious 
planting in combination with their deciduous neighbors will add 
warmth and welcome to our Winter views from within doors. 
In the vicinity of the house and gardens are views and glimpses 
where the rich tones of gray and golden green of Japanese 
Cypresses (Retinosporas ), Arborvitses ( Thuyas ), and the many 
varieties and forms of Junipers, from the slender pointed 
chinensis and virginiana types to the dwarf and trailing types 
of Japanese and Sabina varieties, will be most welcome against 
the Winter snows and during the dull gray days of late Fall and 
early Spring.
