LESSON 55 Mixed Border ERE we have an opportunity to study a simple planting and to see how it is worked out by a judicious selection and combination of trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants. Procedure It will be worth while for each pupil to copy this plan and elevation at a larger scale; but the teacher may omit this work if he considers the time thus saved is worth more than the practice in drawing. The next step will be to study the materials used in this com- position. The trees are cherry, Carolina poplar, silver maple, and crab apple. The shrubs are Spirea Van Houttei, Eleagnus, Viburnum opulus, Cornus alba, Lonicera Morrowi and three Juniperus vir- giniana (red cedars) which may be regarded as shrubs.
