SHRUBS FOR AUTUMN COLOR.

Livery one appreciates the vivid
FaH coloring of some of our forest
trees. and sometimes the home gar
dener will bring home a bit Of the
glory of the woods by planting on
ms own grounds a group of trees
especially designed for an effective
combination Of Autumn coloring. But
one does not so often see shrubs plant
ed particularly for their Autumn eff
feet. There are shrubs which are
generally popular because they are
so lovely at this time of the year
shrubs like the Japanese barberry,
which every one wants for its cheerful
color when the trees are bare and the
days are cold. Usually, however, they
are, like the barberry, noted not for
the color of their leaves but for the
color of their berries. The berred
shrubs are more frequent and often
more beautiful than those with foliage
coloe. They will be taken up in a
seps rate article, but because the Au-
tum3-colored foliage plants are less
we'll known l wish to dwell on them
alone.
It Is Of course impossible to sepa-
rate entirely the shrubs Of the two
classes, since many of those which
have bright leaves have stunning
fruits as well. For instance the
sumacs, noted particularly for the bril-
liancv Of their tall foliage. are hardly
less beautiful in the Winter when
their great red clusters of fruit make
crimson blots of color above bare
stems. The sumacs are particularly
appropriate for informal, Semi-wild
planting, where a bold mass of color
is desired In the distance, against
evergreen trees, they are stunning,
but in spite of their large size and
somewhat course habit of growth they
are not inappropriate for the planting
of small lot. There they become
trees in effect, in contrast to the
smaller plants, and the picturesque
value of their open stems is added to
their magnificent Autumn color.
AS brilliant as any of the larger
members of the family Acer ginnala,
q. form Of Tatarian maple, can be
used in large planting as a tall
shrub or on a smaller place as a
small tree, where its 10 or 20 feet of
height will seem more. Its Autumn
color is invariably red.
X X x
Among the small trees which lie
between the shrubs and the forest
trees there are several which add ma
terially to the Autumn picture. The
Towering dogwood, lovely as it is in
the Spring, is hardly less lovely now
with clusters of scarlet fruits and
vivid foliage. Others of the Cornus
family, to which the Towering dog
wood (Cornus florida) belong, have the
same scarlet foliage, but as the flow
ering dogwood seems to belong par
ticularly to Washington, and as 1t is
the most effective of the group, we do
we'll to stick to it. Even more bril-
liantly red are the leaves of the sour
wood (OXydendron arboreum), which is
noted alike for It's graceful habit of

growth, it's white flowers in Summer
and its beautiful Autumn color. In
size it is similar to the dogwood and
makes a happy combination with 1t
because of it's different period Of bloom.
The hawthorns are characterized by
attractive fruits, but there is also good
foliage color among them. The Wash
ington thorn is especially desirable in
this respect, as it is in others.
AS vivid in color as any Of the
larger shrubs are the chokeberries
(Aronia melanocarpa and Aroma ar
butfolio). The former has black ber-
ries and the latter red, but both have
the same crimson foliage.
Planted at the base of a group of
cedars they make not-to-beforgotten
spot Of color. Equally brilliant is the
Euonymus alata). This is a shrub
the aroma, as for individual speci-
mems. 1t makes compact bushes,
striking as balls of fire in the Fall,
and interesting for their curious
winged twigs in the Winter. The blue
berries are desirable for planting in
the shade; the highbush blueberry
- n nm cOrymbosum) has splendid
scarlet foliage, and the low blueberry
2ccinium Dennsylvanicum) is lo~
ground cover. orange red, in the hills.
The smaller shrubs are represented
by the fragrant sumac Rhus aro-
which unlike the rest Of the
family forms dense masses of, delicate
growth. not over three feet high, with
fine foliage of good Autumn color;
by the wild roses. some of which,
like Rosa blanda, have excellent red
leaves and red Winter twigs, and by
the maple-leaved viburnum Viburnum
which makes beautiful
the floor of the forest with traceries
of foliage in delicate colors, pink, pale
yellow and violet.

your work or place of business, you
doubtless think first of the neighbor-
hood in which you and your family
are going to live, the kind of people
about you, the church and school
privileges. and such like questions.
Then you will consider the physical
character of the place, its slopes and
levels. its trees, its gardens, its out
look, or, in a word, its attractivenesS
from an esthetic point of view, to
which are closely related the practical
questions of pure water supply, good
drainage and shelter from the ex-
tremes of weather.
No matter how attractive otherwise
a locality might be. you would not
consider 1t for a moment unless the
conditions of sanitation and health
fulness were fully met, and you would
want some natural protection from
the severe storms Of Winter as well
as from the blazing heat of Summer.
In the Winter you would want as
little breeze and as much sun. and
in the Summer as little sun and as
much breeze as possible.
Finally, in selecting your site, it
would be well to have in mind the
house you intend to build and the
way you want it to face. If possible,
get your house plan first and select
your lot accordingly. Or, at any rate,
picture 1t all out in your mind to
guide YOU in selecting your location.
BY a little planning and forethought
you may not only secure the outlook
you want but the exposures to sun
or breeze most desired. You cannot
change climatic conditions or topog-
raphy, but to an appreclable extent you
can adjust the location and plan of
your house to them.
You have certain rooms in which
you especially want the sun, morning
or afternoon, or porch you want as
much in the shade as possible, let us
say. In tracing the direction Of the

The Georgian detached house in

The significance to the home builder

Many visitors have seen the walls go
