The development of many vistas is oftentimes emphasized throughthe careful selection of such plants as the birches, willows, and Russianolive, to give the feeling of greater depth in the landscape picture.Such specimens, planted in the immediate background, with a heavytexture of planting in the foreground, will greatly add to the suggestedfeeling of distance.
