SERVICE- YARD SCREENS 
While on the subject of border and screen plantings, it is perhaps well to call 
attention to one of the most frequent eye-sores to be found in the small towns 
and suburbs of America— the service-yard or clothes-yard, with its piles of refuse 
and ashes, or with its flapping array of intimate personal belongings. There Is 
no necessity for this eye-sore; the remedy is simple. A planting of shrubs 
selected from the foregoing lists will improve the situation. A group or border 
planting of evergreens will not only add to the beauty, comfort and value of 
your home, but will also afford a year-round screen. Where space is scarce, a 
single row of evergreens will suflice. For this purpose there are two sorts of 
evergreens most suitable.
