A MASSIVE HOUSE 



Turned Into a Home 



This would be a bare and barn like place if the 

 help of the landscape gardener had not been invoked 

 to make it inviting and lovely. No class of houses 

 demand the planting of shrubbery as strongly as 

 those of cement and stone. 



This planting illustrates the superiority of the 

 mass plan of planting and the beauty of an open 

 lawn. 



Vines add greatly to the appearance of stucco homes. On 

 this home (1) Ampelopsis, Englemann's Ivy, has been used. 

 The foundation planting is a very pleasing one, and consists 

 of Philadelphus, Lemoino's Erect Syringa (5) with its sweet- 

 Bcented flowers in June; Indian Currant (4), and Barberry 

 Thunbergii (3). Can be replaced by other shrubs of the 

 same class if desired. The base of the shrubs in this founda- 

 tion planting is covered by a border of Hardy Phlox which 

 has a wealth of beautiful bloonr, July-October. The planting 

 opposite the steps has the same pleasing combination of plants 

 with a Paper Birch -with its beautiful white bark to contrast 

 with the foliage of the shrubbery.
