A SUBSTANTIAL HOME 



For Well-to-do People 



Unfortunately the picture shows but a small part 

 of the planting that was done around this home, but 

 the effect of the clump of three Spirea Van Houttei 

 (5) at the right of the entrance, supported by six 

 Thunbergii Barberries (3), may give you an idea 

 for your own home. Such a group of nine plants 

 would cost a moderate sum. 



On the left hand side the two groups of Spirea Van Houttei 

 (5) -was flanked by a group of Rosa Rugosa Rubra (6) 

 and the corner filled with a Philadelphus Coronarius (7). 

 This clump of nineteen plants with a sketch for proper plant- 

 ing in the place you have for them is a desirable group. 



Along the north side of this porch there is a splendid 

 foundation planting — Philadelphus Lemoine's Erect Syringa 

 (4), two Spirea Van Houttei groups (5) (5) and a border of 

 Rosa Rugosa Rubra (6) requiring plants to cover a twenty 

 foot space. 



In front of the main building there is a very simple founda- 

 tion planting of three Spirea Van Houttei (5) surrounded by 

 IS plants of the low growing Thunbergii Barberry.
