Practical Plans 



for Home Plantings 



EVERY YEAR hundreds of our friends ask us how 

 their home grounds can be improved. It has been 

 a real pleasure to give this information and to 

 know that we have been of service in "Making America 

 Beautiful." 



On the other hand, there are thousands of homes that 

 ought to be improved — and can be improved at a small 

 cost. Modern house architecture follows certain lines, 

 and all houses have some points of similarity. There- 

 fore, a landscape plan can be made to lit 75 per cent 

 of American homes. 



The same plants can be used around a cottage that 

 are used around a mansion— the only difference is in 

 the location of the individual specimen. Therefore, the 

 plans shown on this folder can readily be adapted to 

 any house without regard to style of the building. 



Plan No. 4 offers wonderful possibilities for a much 

 larger place than shown in the sketch. The Globe 

 Arborvita No. 7), Colorado Blue Spruce (No. 16), and 

 Retinosporas (No. 17} can be transferred to the corners 

 of the lot rather than used as a border to the walk. 

 Similar changes can be made in the other plans without 

 in the least marring their beauty and effectiveness. 



Mr. C. L. Seybold, our landscape designer, prepared 

 these sketches after long study of the problems involved. 

 We believe that the plans will be of immense value to 

 home owners who do not wish to incur the needless 

 expense of a professional landscape architect. \\ e want 

 you to feel free to write Mr. Seybold, state your 

 problems, ask his advice and help, so that your grounds 

 will reflect good taste in the selection and grouping ol 

 the evergreens and shrubs used.
