Who questions for a moment the charm of deciduous trees in the winter, the charming intricacy 
of their branches against the sky and the delicate velvety texture of their mossy bark. It is within the 
grove of fine old trees that the broad leaved shrubs, including Evergreens, Rhododendrons, Laurels, etc., 
add so materially to the winter charm and thrive most happily.
