A SUBSTANTIAL HOME 
For Well-to-do People 
Unfortunately the picture shows but a small part 
of the planting that was done around this home, but 
the effect of the clump of three Spirea Van Houttei 
(5) at the right of the entrance, supported by six 
Thunbergii Barberries (3), may give you an idea 
for your own home. Such a group of nine plants 
would cost a moderate sum. 
On the left hand side the two groups of Spirea Van Houttei 
(5) was flanked by a group of Rosa Rugosa Rubra (6) 
and the corner filled with a Philadelphus Coronarius (7). 
This clump of nineteen plants with a sketch for proper plant- 
ing in the place you have for them is a desirable group. 
Along the north side of this porch there is a splendid 
foundation planting—Philadelphus Lemoine’s Erect Syringa 
(4), two Spirea Van Houttei groups (5) (5) and a border of 
Rosa Rugosa Rubra (6) requiring plants to cover a twenty 
foot space. 
In front of the main building there is a very simple founda- 
tion planting of three Spirea Van Houttei (5) surrounded by 
13 plants of the low growing Thunbergii Barberry.
