Sometimes an entrance planting of paired specimens is very attractive for a home of this type, provided the balance is not 
carried too far. Here we show the use of upright, bushy Yews next to the foundation; then the lower Andromedas and spreading 
Yews in the foreground, with Pachysandra as a low filler. Rhododendrons are skilfully used instead of the out-of-place ‘‘forest 
trees’’ which so often spoil the desired effect.

are trained horticulturists, always glad to
