Planting Plans And Keys Thereto. Part 3
Planting Plan "B"
This plan provides for the possible treatment of a lot of 50 feet in width and 118 feet in depth over all, on which is situated a residence which leaves but a small space on either side between the side walls of the house and the party line fence.
The rear and side lines on the back lawn are planted principally with broad-leaved evergreens, so that the general effect will be pleasing throughout the year.
Along the party lines specimen shrubs are shown at equal intervals with perennials between for the sake of tying the planting scheme together, and to add a little to the turf breadth between the shrubs.
The plantation at the base of the porch consists of broad-leaved evergreens, including Abelia grandiflora, one of the most satisfactory of all the flowering evergreen shrubs. The foliage is excellent and the period of bloom continues from early Summer to late in the Fall. This plant is also suggested for the hedge along the front, with the corners and entrance emphasized with the English laurel.
