A terrace planting of Boxwood, Rhododendron, Azalea Amoena and other evergreens at Montclair, 

 N. J., which is exclusively " Moon's Stock." Such evergreen plantings as this are bright and cheerful 

 the year round, and when in May the Rhododendrons and Azaleas are in flower the display is gor- 

 geous. — Edmund K. Brown, Landscape Architect. 



The Question of Foundation Planting Solved 



THE bare, angular lines of house foundations are mostly unattractive and unless they are softened by 

 foliage the house is apt to appear out of harmony with its natural surroundings and unhospitable. 

 The transformation of a mere house to a home is wrought with planting of shrubbery that blends the 

 structure with the lawn about it. With foundation plantings the question arises — as it does with nearly 

 all other planting, that is — whether or not evergreens or deciduous plants are wanted. The latter are 

 much cheaper to procure than evergreens, though evergreens have an attractiveness the year 'round, which 

 to many minds makes their greater cost justifiable. 



Evergreens for Foundation Plantings 



The illustrations show the effects that such plantings will produce. If the position is a shaded one on 

 the north side of the dwelling or beneath trees, Rhododendrons or other evergreen shrubs (pages 29-34) 

 will be found best suited. If the position has some sunlight, the Coniferous Evergreens (pages 8-28) will 

 be desirable. After the name of each variety of plants listed in this catalogue will be found letters that 

 designate the ultimate height to which the plant may be expected to grow. The evergreens marked "D" 

 seldom grow from 4 to 10 feet in height; those marked "VD" seldom reach a greater height than 4 feet. 

 There are a great many varieties marked "S," which indicate a larger grade but, nevertheless, quite suitable 

 for this foundation work, as they can be kept in restraint, which makes the coloring brighter and the form 

 more dense. 



Why not plant Eve; . i , u ight all the year. Isn't a per- 



manent plainting like thib better th ui the expensive beds of tender flowers that must be planted each 

 Spring, and then pass away with the first frost to leave the ground bare and unsightly right at your front 

 door for six months of the year ? Cost of a planting like this is $15.00.
