THE PLANTING PLAN EFFECTIVE SHRUBBERY PLANTING Undoubtedly the most important point to remember when plan- ning the shrubbery areas, is to keep an open lawn. This means placing a positive taboo on variously-shaped beds dotted here and there or in the center, except in carrying out the formal or the architectural style. The corners of the property demand greater height than is required along the lines; therefore ample depth must be allowed for planting tall growing shrubs at the back and the dwarfer kinds in front. This obviates an abrupt transition from fohage to ground line (Figs. 56 and 57). The corner plantings may be extended along the sides, so as to make a continuous "border planting," which creates a sense of privacy and seclusion. These borders, in the formal design, should not be straight, but so arranged as to form a series of small bays and promon- tories. Not only is this result more natural and artistic, but by it the extent of the lawn is apparently increased. Furthermore, in order to avoid a monotonous sky Kne a few small trees should be planted here and there along the border (Fig. 58). At the point where the private area is begun, the border can be made to jut out considerably onto the lawn, to form a division between the public and private areas. The service portion of the grounds (near the kitchen) can also be effectively separated from the private area in the same manner. See Frontispiece and Fig. Fig. attractively planted corner in which tall-, medium-, and low-growing'materials are correctly used to produce harmony and variety without abrupt transition. See Fig. 56 for the plan of this arrangement.
