A SUBURBAN HOME 
Where Forest Trees Help 
The Landscape Gardener in drawing these plans 
treated the whole lot as a park, but unfortunately the 
back yard plantings do not show. Some people, how- 
ever, prefer to have a vegetable garden in the back 
yard which in this case would not alter the pleasing 
appearance. 
The clumps of shrubs in the corners of the yard consisting 
of two Thunbergii Barberries (2) (2), one Spirea Van Houttei 
(5) and four Spirea Argutas (7) can be used almost any- 
where. The Thunbergii Barberries at the front of the walk 
(2) (2) are largely planted. 
The Tea’s Weeping Mulberry at (17) is as good a speci- 
men as can be placed in a small yard... They are interesting 
and do not interfere with the view of the house or from the 
window. If the walk is in the center of the yard as in this 
case you will want two. 
The right hand foundation planting, seven Thunbergii Bar- 
berry (2); three Van Houttei Spireas (6); four Thunbergii 
Barberry (11); two Hydrangea FP. G. (9) (9). 
On the left hand side the fonndation planting consists of 
a group of four Thunbergii Barberry (2) and (2) and three 
Van Houttei Spireas (6). 
- The clump dividing the front and rear yard consisting of 
three Spirea Van Honttei (6), three Spirea Argutas (8) (8) 
(8) and four Barberries (2) (2) is available for many vlaces.
