...but green is of paramount importance, and the colour effects only of secondary consideration; there is no escaping this fact.
At certain times of the day there is such a diversity of tones among the greens in a well planted garden...
With rather brilliant foliaged plants, such as Persian plums, it is best to try and achieve a gradual blending of tints, by planting trees and shrubs with a suggestion of red or bronze in the leaves as their associates, so that the dissimilitude of foliage colour passes from one to the other, ultimately reaching the predominate greens.
