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, Lemoine’s Erect Syringa (5) with its sweet- 
scented 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 bloom 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.
