Foundation Planting 
The planting certainly makes this residence most home-like. 
Unfortunately, the Flowering Shrubs and Roses have not yet 
advanced enough In growth to make a striking view; however, 
the Evergreens speak for themselves right off hand when 
planted. This house may have been built a hundred years ago 
— it does not matter as to the style or architecture used. Each 
and every one can be made more beautiful by the proper orna- 
mental planting. 
SHADE AND ORNAMENTAL TREES 
Compare a home with shade trees. Evergreens, Flow- 
ering shrubs, Roses, etc., planted on the lawn, with one 
barren of trees, etc. Bring these two pictures to your 
mind. Which home would you prefer? The one beau- 
tified by the Trees, Evergreens, Shrubs, etc. "Of course." 
The Evergreens and Shrubs make the home more attrac- 
tive, while the Shade trees help make up this appearance, 
and keep the lawn and dwelling both cool during the 
hot summer days. 
Such plantings are never forgotten by people who In 
childhood played under the trees. DUTY TO YOUR
