Trees as II Bears as important Relation to Landscape as

relation to a landscape as its owner
bears to society. Tall trees at the
rear and sides with lower foliage in
the foreground give more kindly air
than house that seems to Turk be-
hind dense masses of yerdure.
Since one cannot give the same
treatment in a limited space that is
possible on larger grounds the use OF
shrubbery about the small home must
be we'll chosen, so as to appear neither
meager nor overdone.
Our forefathers had habit OF plant
ing their lilac, altheas, japonicas,
snowballs or boxbushes close to their
house, SO that in many cases they
actually grew against them. But those
were the days of small porches, Of rigid
lines and bare expanses Of wall and
the softening effect of woodvine and
sweet brier was needed. Thus some
old houses are SO grown into 1ass
Of shrubbery that the frame is one

In many instances where the
modern home builder undertakes his
own landscape gardening he soatters
shrubbery about his lawn with little
regard for the future result when the
plants have reached maturity This Is
because he does not start with plan

house an anecdote. He was return

and passed st. Paul's Cathedral just
before midnight. AS he did so there
was a drunken man trying to see the
time Just then the clock began to
strike the hour, and slowly tolled out

looked hard at the clock and said !:
Hang you, why couldn't you have

1t is safe to study effects about old
places with similar characteristics.
From your plan with reference to the
only legitimate center of the picture,
the dwelling. Any tree, shrub, flower
or vine is misplaced that does not
contribute to the comfort and beauty
OF the home.
A proper frame never distracts the
mind, but merely sets the picture
distinct from unrelated things with
no jar to ones sensibilities. Guided
by central idea. the work will be SO
true, so lovely. that every visiting
friend or passing stranger will feel
and recognize the dominant note of
