fading the corner in?

I have a green rectangle with some acorns and leaves in the top left
corner. I want just that corner to fade to transparency. It is for some
letterhead and the corner will be flush against the top left corner of
the paper. Basically, part of the leaves and the green should fade to
transparency, or white. I've got it close to what I want, but it's not
real smooth. I put a layer mask on it and then used the gradient tool,
with the blending mode set to normal or dissolve, although it's hard to
tell if there is a difference between the two settings. Is there a
better way to do this?

Thanks,

Peter
