An Old Fashioned Home 



Still Modern and Attractive 



This planting list aptly shows the joys and pleas- 

 ure one can derive from Nature. Without a setting 

 of trees and shrubs a house is merely such, but with 

 proper planting, no matter how humble the place, 

 everyone knows that it is a home. 



This old-fashioned house was surrounded by a couple of 

 beds of perennials (4) which probably antidate the shrub- 

 bery but is a feature worth building at any time. 



The porch is screened in at the end with the useful 

 A^ristolocia, or Dutchman's Pipe, with its large closely inter- 

 woven leaves, at (1) and Boston Ivy is seen at (2). 



The dominant flower that was in bloom when the photo 

 was taken is the Arboresens Hydrangea at (3), which makes 

 a low growing shrub of great beauty in bloom. 



Buddleia or Butterfly Bush, Calycanthus, Ribes, the Flow- 

 ering Currants or some of Spirea families are recommended 

 for massing along the walk at (5), while along the walk 

 running in front of the main part of the house at (7) is 

 screened by Barberry Thunbergii. The specimen trees are 

 indicated by (8) (9) of which rather too many were planted, 

 and a Tea's Weeping Mulberry at (11). Hall's Japanese 

 Honeysuckle is suggested as a very desirable vine for the 

 screening of back fences and alleyways.
