Pointers Relative to Beautifying Country Homes 
Fruit Trees Planted for Profit 
What About Trees to Make the Home Attractive? 
T here has been in the past, and is at the present time, much said about the 
planting of fruit trees for profit, but what about beautifying the homes where 
you live and your children are growing up? An artistic front yard with a green 
lawn and some choice flowers is restful to the weary eye. A shady arbor with 
its thick foliage may give rest to the tired body. Flowers bring out the depths of 
childhood’s nature instead of emotions borne down by strife. 
Remember the home of one’s youth is looked back upon in many years after- 
wards, their memories will travel thousands of miles back to the old home where 
deep in the mossy green the morning dew lingered; back under the shadows of a 
friendly tree in the yard during noontide’s heat, or later on the old rustic bench un- 
der the arbor in the evening twilight — a sacrad vision unbanished will revive the 
most hallowed memory of a duty that was sacred and sweet.
