The reader is warranted in concluding that all plants not adapted foruse in the preceding groups of plants for formal effects are automatic-ally placed in this present group. It is safe to select any plant in-digenous to the locality and also many of the introduced horticulturalvarieties, such as high-bush cranberry, flowering currant and dogwoods.Lilacs, tartarian honeysuckle, and hybrid rhododendrons, however,withgreater refinement of foliage and of bloom, on the other hand, areobviously of more value in the more formal plantings. Collected stock is of great value for natural, informal effects. Toreproduce nature and her group effects should be the object of natural,informal planting. A natural planting impresses the observer as doesnature untouched by the hand of the designer, and this is a mostdifficult effect to obtain artificially. |
