THE growing custom of bringing the home and its surroundings into more 
complete harmony by a well planned arrangement of trees, shrubs and 
flowers is one that cannot be too highly commended. Flowering shrubs for 
borders of walks and roadways, screens of bushes to shut off objectionable 
views; gardens of old-fashioned flowers, intermingled with trailing vines, 
enhance not only the beauty and cheerfulness of the home, but we should con- 
sider that the actual value of the property has increased largely.
