In preparing the beds. one must take into consideration the amount of hmnu~ needed. '!'heir natural chances for root development and a suitable Lncation where ample amount of moisture is always available. This is usually n<·complished by digging out and hauling away some of the surplus subsoil wht-n preparing the qed, sn that after the bed has been completed and th' .. vergt·eens planted, the bed will be dt>prt>sst>d s.o the moisture will acc11mulatt'· and soak in after each rain. ArraJtgiiiJC l:n>rJCrf'('llS for Rt>st Effect Here is wherP more amateurs fall down, than in any other type of designing l:tndscape. I believe I am safe in saying that fifty per cent of th(' plantings are so planted that one variety crowds out the other within a period of five t u ten years requiring the constant re-arranging and transplanting. On the other hand where evergreens are planted in groups, giving them ample room and any single nuiety in a clump, rearranging is practicallY never needed at all. In grotaping evergreens this way, and u&ing varieties ·which are grafted, therefore all from the same mother tree, they grow up tl'gether and have the appeamnce of a single specimen, huge and massive. ··ll 6.50 ).21; J.ilnc·-('ha rlf·s X . . 2-:r J,lhu~ ( P t- r ~ian Pur6.00 .7ll ple).
