Large Evergreens 
for JANUARY 
Y OU will enjoy composing a 
beautiful grove of Pine. Fir, 
Spruce, Cedar and Hemlock,

street. The rich evergreen foli¬ 
age is the best background and 
wind shelter for your garden or 
children’s playground. 
We will call and submit 
sketches showing just what can 
be done and the cost. 
Call at the nursery and select 
from thousands of trees that save 
you 10 years. They are 12 to 25 
ft. high. Guaranteed to grow 
satisfactorily or replaced. Car¬ 
load shipments in January. 
Are there big evergreens 
in your vicinity we can 
move for you now?

Planning the House for the Garden 
(Continued from page 31) 
At the rear of the axis of the 
porch, a broad walk starts at the 
foot of steps that lead down from 
the grass terrace, and runs straight 
and true to a brook—as in the first 
problem. Never mind; similarities 
will crop up when one is dealing 
with real places and not imaginary 
ones; and the resemblance ends 
here, practically. 
The first section of this walk is 
wide—quite 6'—and runs between an 
orchard of dwarf fruit trees on the 
left and a rose garden on the right, 
beneath the living-room windows. 
Then it passes under a rose arch—it 
might pass under half a dozen be¬ 
tween the foot of the terrace steps 
and this one, if one wished—and 
runs along beside the vegetable gar¬ 
den on the left—which is beyond a 
little orchard and hidden by it—and a 
tall growing mass of shrubbery on 
the right which secludes the diminu¬ 
tive ramble under the trees, onto 
which the rose garden opens. 
To carry tins scheme out properly, 
a wall enclosing the rear of the pro¬ 
perty from the corner of the garage 
back, is essential. The low terrace 
along this side is graded down so 
that the ground will be level right 
to the foot of such wall, which will 
be 5 YS to 6' high from within if it is 
4' high on the street, owing to the 
properties being lower than the 
street. The grassed terrace along 
the house is shortened to permit 
an entrance direct from the vegetable 
garden to a tool storage in the gar¬ 
age basement; and the wall which 
holds this terrace along its end fur¬ 
nishes an opportunity for a built-in 
garden seat here, which is matched by 
a similar seat opposite against the 
boundary wall—which may stop 
when it has reached the foot of the 
steps leading to the rose garden, al¬ 
though I would prefer to see this 
barrier carried entirely around. My 
advice is always for a complete en¬ 
closure for a portion of one’s grounds 
at least—preferably for all of them. 
A hedge of privet will furnish such 
enclosure in the front here, when it 
has had time to grow. It is already 
planted. 
I T is a permanent improvement 
that adds more than its cost 
to the value of the property 
enclosed. Nothing goes further to¬ 
ward giving house and grounds an 
atmosphere of elegance, refinement 
and privacy—the finishing touch to 
outside surroundings.
