Make Your Property More Attractive and Valuable 
Many people hesitate to beautify their home surroundings because they are not sure what, 
when, where and how to plant and do not realize how inexpensive it is. This concise little book 
explains and illustrates the principles of planting briefly but concisely. It contains also a sys- 
tem of unit collections by which even the novice can secure results comparable with that of 
many experienced landscape gardeners. 
You Can Secure Surprising Results at Little Cost 
In this book you will find a blueprint marked off 
into squares, each representing a square foot. On this 
you can draw your own plan and arrange the unit col- 
lections, using for your guidance three other blue- 
prints, which are typical plans for a city lot, suburban 
home and a home in the country. It is so simple and 
easy anyone can do it, and yet the results will equal 
that of the experienced planter. This book also gives 
the general principles of naturalistic landscape gar- 
dening and explains by text and illustration the dif- 
ference between unattractive and attractive planting. 
It tells what to use for borders, in the corners of 
your lot and along the foundation of your house and 
other buildings — what to use for hedges, for screens 
to provide seclusion and to shut out undesirable views. 
It shows how to relieve the bleakness of your win- 
ter outlook without detracting from spring, summer or 
autumn effects. It describes in detail each shrub and 
plant — blooming season, description of the flower, 
size and character of a select list of shrubs, climbing 
vines, lilac, roses, peonies, iris, ornamental and shade 
trees. It tells what, where, when and how to plant 
— how to prune and care for your shrubs, etc., at 
planting time and after they attain full size.
