Tread softly as you walk in the garden court of the Publishing House, for young plants are here sending out their roots, leaves, and tendrils. The two thirty-foot European linden trees planted last fall have dressed themselves in beautiful gray-green leaves; the tall junipers (Juniperus virginiana) look almost black against the inside of the limestone wall. Then there are low-spreading junipers (Juniperus Pfitzeriana), and other plants whose technical nemes the gardener may care to know. There are several plants of Euonymus Carrierei (low, bushy shrub), and a few of Euonymus yedoensis (five to six feet high). Being evergreens they help to keep the garden dressed in green in winter as well as in summer. Then there are six Rhododendron maximum and ten small hybrid Rhododendron. There is ivy (Hedera Helix) to grow on the wall. There are two magnolias with their incomparable spring bloom, a couple of French lilacs bearing rosy lilac flowers, a few small dwarf pines (Pinus nigra globosa), six flowering Azalea calendulacea, and the same number of Azalea Kampferi; three berry-bearing Cotoneaster Salicifolia, more than that number of Andromeda floribunda, two fragrant Viburnum Carlesii, and also plants to fill the beds.
There are four planting areas edged all around with stone, and between the beds are limestone flagging and gravel walks. In these areas and in that against the wall various plants, some flowering, will be placed to make an attractive and interesting color effect. They include: Dephne, blossoming in May; another variety of Cotoneaster (apiculata); six butterfly bushes (Buddleia alternifolia); three Azalea calendulacea; Euonymus of two other varieties (radicans and variegata), several Andromeda japonica; two varieties of juniper (Suecica and Pfitzeriana); four Mountain Laurel; several Cydonia japonica; many cannas grown at the Sanatorium of The Christian Science Benevolent Association at Chestnut Hill; also a large number of coleus with variegated leaves, and evergreen creeping plants, including Pachysandra terminalis and Vinca minor.
In the center foreground is a fountain set in a large basin which has the front bordered by an overflowing basin painted blue green inside to stimulate reflection on the water's surface. And you may rest a few moments on an old stone bench brought from England and gaze at an antique sundial, also from England, before you go on to view more modern and larger things, as, for instance, the Church park, which was enlarged and improved last year. There, between Falmouth Street and Huntington Avenue, you may stretch out your step as you walk around it, or through it on its art brick walks, and view the lilacs and magnolias, andromedas, pink geraniums, and blue lobelias now in bloom. The plantings of the Publishing House garden by the architect and of the park by the landscape architect have been designed to give an attractive color effect in flowers, berries, and foliage throughout the year.
