SUGGESTIONS 



FOR 

 EFFECTIVE PLANTING 



AT last a book has been written which tells 

 • what plants and trees and shrubs are 

 best adapted by Nature for each garden and 

 landscape — and how to group them most 

 effectively. 



"Suggestions for Effective Planting" is not 

 the usual mechanical, deadly dull nursery 

 catalog. It is arranged in departments. To 

 read it is like going over your problems with 

 an experienced plantsman and having the 

 proper materials listed for you.

WORKINGMAN'S COTTAGE 

 Indian Hill, Worcester, Massachusetts. 



owner who is planning to build a single 

 low-cost home of his own, or to those 

 who are opening up large tracts of land 

 upon which many suburban homes are to 

 be built, either as industrial or everyday 

 suburban real estate developments. 



It was not so very long ago that build- 

 ing market conditions were in such shape 

 that to design a house costing not more 

 than three thousand dollars was com- 

 paratively simple. At the present time con- 

 ditions are such that to duplicate a three- 

 thousand-dollar house built not so very long 

 ago would now cost considerably nearer 

 five thousand. Mr. Atterbury has suc- 

 ceeded, in spite of this, in designing a group 

 of buildings each of which can be sold, with 

 land complete, for considerably less than 

 it would cost to build less carefully and 

 skilfully arranged houses containing the 

 same number of rooms and the same 

 conveniences. 



While it is not often that so excellent a 

 building site is selected for development, 

 it also remains true that not often has 

 the architect and town-planner so care- 

 fully and successfully selected his mate- 

 rials and designs to harmonize with the 

 site and with the local traditions of the 

 surrounding country. This has been true 

 even when conditions of site and sur- 

 roundings have been equally favorable, 



Tlie main point of interest, then, in this 

 particular development, lies in the fact that 

 these houses could be reproduced in other 

 parts of the country at figures only slightly 

 varying from their cost at Indian Hill. 



None of the houses are over-large or 

 expensive. In the matter of size, the 

 area of the buildings has been kept down 

 to a minimum by a skilful use of every 

 inch of space within the walls. There 

 are no useless and unnecessary large 

 halls or other wasted spaces, while, on 

 the other hand, the planning is neither

IT pays to be 

 extra careful 



of seeds intended for the 

 growing of trees. The 

 life of a tree extending 

 over years is of more 

 importance than is the 

 growth of a product 

 which reaches maturity 

 in a few months. 



Thorburn's Seeds are 

 chosen with the greatest 

 of care from selected 

 stock. They come of 

 good family, as it were, 

 and the results of their 

 planting will be thor- 

 oughly satisfactory. 



Thorburn's have had a 

 reputation for superior 

 seeds for over a century. 

 Now, with demand greater 

 than ever before, that ster- 

 ling reputation is jealously 

 guarded. The first quality 

 always is our motto.
