MORGAN HOME—Rectangular lines of house a e softened by hip roof. Vertical paneling on porches
and porch columns provide interest and variety. Overhang is in keeping with architectural style and
protects the house from too much summer sun. House plan was twrned so that two large oak trees {not
visible in photo) would flank front entrance. Veiw reading from left shows: portion of Gardner's room,
NeaTs room, front porch and entrance, living room windows and a portion of screened side porch. Back
view shows from left: future study, dining area, kit-hen and back door, master bath and bedroom.

would not hide
the house behind
large, wide shrubs
J., . unless this was
desired. Too often in ine past the
only shrubs that nurserymen have
made available to their customers
have been vigorous plants, such as
Ligustrum, that really did shoot up
and hide the house.
Of course there always were
certain slow growing, low growing
shrubs available for foundation
planting. The dwarf English Box
has been used for generations in
this region — sometimes to edge *
garden paths and sometimes along
the front of a house.
However during the last few
years an ever increasing range of
shrubs has been added to the list
of low grovying shrubs. P,re-emi-
nuui aiuoiig ifteie are the Jaj>a-
nese Hollies (Ilex crenata). When
we think of holly we automatical-

ly leaves. The Japanese Hollies

The leaves are small, roundish to '
oblong in appearance. The fruit is *
a small, black berry inconspicuous- \
ly hidden in the foliage. In reg- *
ions where the leaf-miner insect i
has ruined boxwood it is possible '
to substitute Ilex crenata convexa
and achieve the same effect.
The Japanese Hollies were de
scribed by the plant collector Carl
Peter Thunberg in his Flora Ja- ^
ponica of 1784. It is not certain !
when the plant was introduced to ’
this country. In Japan it has been *
a favorite prden shrub for many i
years, and it is a favorite with me. I
