The art of beautifying suburban home grounds of small extend : illustrated by upward of two hundred plates and engravings of plans for residences and their grounds, of trees and shrubs, and garden embellishments ; with descriptions of the beautiful and hardy trees and shrubs grown in the United States. Landscape gardening; Trees. from the ground. The linden tree when old, and the common dog-wood [Cornusflorida), have similar lines of shadows. If we classify trees by their surface lights and shadows alone, they will divide into three classes, viz: first, those" whose lights and shadows fall in lines approaching the vertical; second, those which divide into strata horizontally; third, those which break into irregular masses. The Lom- bardy poplar will be the type of the former, the common beech, Fig, 88, of the second . and the white oak of the latter. Most evergreen trees belong to the second group. The first class comprises a comparatively small number of trees, but many which belong to one of the last two groups at maturity, are members of the first when young. The cedar of Lebanon is the most remarkable of trees in the second class. It is the embodiment of majesty in its class, as the oak of the third class. Of our native trees, the white pine is the grandest type among evergreens east of the Rocky Mountains, of trees with stratified shadows, as the beech is among deciduous trees. The pm oak is a fa- miliar example of stratified foliage. Its foliage layers are as distinctly marked as those of the beech, but its branches droop more ; and are so twiggy, thorny, and inter-tangled, that its expression is ruder and its shadows less noble.
