The Home Lot 261 



375. Plants to Use. Landscape architects are also gar- 

 deners in that they must know the character of many 

 kinds of plants and the conditions under which they 

 succeed. In selecting trees and shrubs for home plant- 

 ing, it is important that sorts be used that succeed. 

 Native wild plants should always be considered. By 

 observing the plants that are grown on other persons' 

 grounds, we may often learn of the good sorts and 

 avoid undesirable varieties. In selecting the plants, it 

 is always advisable to consult the local nurseryman. 



375a. Make a list, using the names given in the nursery cata- 

 logues of all the different kinds of trees, shrubs, perennial and 

 annual flowers that grow well in your locality. Mention the location 

 in the community of one or more plants of each sort.
