ROSES 
rte perfect form of the 
~ Rose, the delicacy of its 
fragrance, the perfect petalage, 
the soft texture and variety 
in coloring are familiar charac- 
teristics to all of us. 
Perhaps, of all plants, the 
Rose is the most commonly 
sought and continues in popu- 
larity both with the profes- 
sional and amateur gardener. 
Old favorites are still regarded 
affectionately and the newer 
hybrids find welcome homes in 
many gardens each year. 
The pillar and climbing Roses 
lend a stately quality of beauty 
to trellis, wall and arbor; the 
Hybrid Teas, and Polyantha 
Roses mold themselves into 
fine garden subjects and are 
unsurpassed as cut-flowers in 
the adornment of the home. 

LARGE Colonial home has 
been planted in a simple man- 
ner by using large Sugar Maples and 
Oaks for shade, shrubs of an indef- 
nite shape such as Blueberries, 
Flowering Quince, Cotoneasters and 
Lilacs to define the arrival-court, and 
a very few Dogwoods, Yews and 
Purple Wisterias near the house. 
Restraint in planting preserves the 
simple charm of a country home. 
A large native Hornbeam has been 
transplanted to provide shade on the 
flagged area in an enclosed rectangu- 
lar garden. The view along the 
cross-axis reveals the water in the 
swimming pool, a cooling note in the 
Summer-time.
