CORNERS THAT NEED CONCEALING 

 When the floor line or water table of a house is close to 

 the ground, it is well to let turf run up to the porch or 

 paved terrace and concentrate any plantings about the 

 corners. If, however, the dwelling stands high, use 

 shrubs, etc., of a dwarf character along the foundation 

 with taller growing varieties at the corners and in the 

 blank spaces between windows, being careful to exclude 



those attaining any consi derable height as they 



will ultimately interfere £sg^ 7| with the light and view

BASE PLANTINGS THAT 

 HARMONIZE 

 Columnar planting for sharp roof 

 lines, shrubs with rounded tops for 

 low roofs. Where deciduous and 

 broad-leaved evergreens are used 

 they give warmth and color to the 

 winter scene making the home at- 

 tractive during the long, cold winter

SOFTENING HARSH FOUNDATION LINES 



This type of planting should always be irregular in line, 



extending out at the corners and entrances; where space 



permits it is well to use tall with low growing shrubs 



to avoid monotony and break harsh angles 



THE SUBURBAN 

 EYESORE 



Even the ugliest 

 building can be im- 

 proved by proper 

 planting; such a cor- 

 ner as this can easily 

 be transformed by 

 vines, some feathery- 

 foliaged shrubs and 

 perhaps a dwarf ever- 

 green or two. Why 

 not apply the 

 remedy?

It is always a good plan to plant 

 form of a triangle using the best 

 of the shrub to the front; place 

 growing shrubs 

 first and as a rule 

 slightly farther 

 apart than the 

 dwarf ones in front; 

 if the ground shows 

 too noticeably be- 

 tween use a cover, 

 as Pachysandra
