planting and ground treatment be-
come merely decorative features to
the architecture.
The architectural predominance
must be recognized as such and
the planting made to serve It in
the best possible way. The foliage
masses become the picture frame.
the green lawn the foreground to
the picture. while the howers and
color of leaf add interest of detail.
To say that the planting should
be subservient to the architectural
dominance does not mean that
plants should be clipped and sheared
and tortured into weird, unnatural
shapes of topiary achievement.
In the majority of cases. the very
reverse Is true, and the looseness
of texture and softness of line af-
forded by foliage masses Is very
much needed to contrast with and
soften the rigidity of line of the
building form.
In landscape work, as In any pic
ture, its power to suggest more
than is actually seen is an achieve
ment of true art.

landscape, but it carries with IT no
sound of the outdoors, no fragrance.
no animation of life, except as the
skill of the artist is able to suggest
these things through the sense OF
sight; while. on the other hand, the
Landscape with which we of the
profession have to deal Is one OF
