A NICE CITY HOME 
With Inexpensive Planting 
This style of planting for a city residential street 
is within the means of anyone, adds greatly to the 
value of the property, and the cost is very low. See 
what we can do for you. 
The porch, which is the out door home of the family dur- 
ing the summer, is also the chief point of interest when prop- 
erly planted as this one is, with sixteen Thunbergii Barberry 
at (2) and (5), two Hydrangea P. G. at the steps’ ends (8) 
(4), a Spirea Thunbergii at (6) and a Spirea Van Houttei at 
(7), with a Scarlet Trumpet Honeysuckle or Clematis Pani- 
culata for afternoon shade (1). 
On the left side is shown a lawn background corner that 
is available very many places, a Persian Lilac or a Smoke Tree 
at (7), surrounded by four Hydrangea P. G. grouped in front 
at (10). This makes a splendid combination because the 
Lilac or Smoke Tree will bloom early in the summer and the 
Hydrangea about the last flower of the fall. 
On the right hand side of the house the Gardener has placed 
an interesting group of Persian Lilac and three Spirea Van 
Houttei (9). 
A bed of Funkia, Day Lilies, are often used for a narrow 
foundation covering as indicated at (11) where shrubs would 
grow too large. These can be furnished in sufficient quantity 
to make a good bed the second year.
