Evergreen plantings near the house should consist of |

ow, slow-growing materi 

al such as the Narrow-leaved Hollies, Spreading 
and Upright Yews, Lily-of-the-Valley Shrubs, Evergreen Azaleas, Rhododendrons, and Pyracantha. The informal planting should 
merely tie in the grounds with the house and not hide the foundation. The object is not to smother the building in a wilderness of 
plant material but to choose carefully for good detail at close range as well as pleasing mass effect from a distance. 

During the active planting seasons, most of the unusual plants on pages 48 and 49 are on display for 
immediate sale. A visit to our grounds in East Rutherford will help you solve specific planting problems
