many years might be required for their
full development, they would remain a
perpetual adOrnment. Among such
trees may be named the chestnut, the
black walnut, the American elm, the
black maple and some of the finest of
the many species of oak.
Two or three scattered trees would

n greater variety would be
impaired to the grounds if some of the
larger shrubs were distributed with
them, or planted nearer the residence
than would be proper for large trees.
Among these. reaching several feet in

place than several hundreds In costly

these are unexcclled in beauty: the
large h~ydrangea is valuable for its
snowy blossoms in autumn; the Japan
ounce. for its brilliant scarlet flowers
early in spring; the barberry for its
golden racemcs when in bloom and its
crimson berries through autumn.
Small shrubs like the Deutzia Gracilis
may be combined with herbaceous
perennials in filling circular beds cut
in the lawn, and may include the Di-

If shrubs, they will never require
much attention, but those which COM

tanned to appearance of large shrubs by
occasionally shortening back and pre-
serving their natural character. There
are, however,some small varieties of the
large evergrcens which never exceed
many feet in height, which may be OBJ
tanned from n~urserymen.

selected trees and shrubs may be en-
ployed to give q distinct character to

to recommend it, for if hardy species

They will impart an attraction to the
