tions or In irregular groups rather
than in long rows. Under certain con-
ditions long avenues of trees regularly
disposed on either side of a prominent
drive or vista may contribute a very
pleasing and imposing effect to a large
place. The general rule for trees also
applies to shrubs, except that their use
should be chiefly in groups or belts
rather than as specimen plants, al
though specimen plants are of value
in formal plantations Few shrubs
possess sufficiently graceful and
characteristic habit of growth to make
them pleasing objects when grown
singly upon the lawn, but where a
number Of specimens of varying habit
are brought together in single group,
the differences are emphasized by con-
trast and the variety produces a pleas
ing effect, particularly If the rate and
habit of growth as well as the color
and character of the foliage be some
what different. Pleasing results in
groups of shrubs do not come from
large numbers of the same variety in
mass, but from harmonious arrange
ment of different genera, species, and
varieties. In order to secure the
greatest pleasure from shrubs in
groups, each group should represent

Small places, consisting of an acre
or less, situated among others of like
dimensions, can only be appropriately
improved in a formal style. On the
other hand, large suburban places or
country seats should in order to main
tain unity and harmony with their
surroundings, be treated in the natural
style. 1t Is impossible to develop a
forest park, or even Il grove on an
area less than an acre in extent; and
1t Is equally impossible to maintain
FOUNTAINS, terraces, sheared trees,
hedges and carpet bedding over an

general styles of landscape gardening
have been developed. One of these
may be adopted, or both may be com
