The Home Beautiful 
Does that appeal to your pride? 
Besides your personal appearance there is nothing that appeals to the human pride as does the home, and 
there is a great difference between a house and a home. A house is not inviting nor is it a pleasure to see, much 
less in which to live and be happy; but on the other hand, a home is a picture of contentment, where the whole 
family is proud to live and invite friends. 
There are a great many houses in Atlanta, but there are comparatively few really attractive homes. Some 
are far better than others, but however simple a home may be, that little house or that big house can be made 
the real home beautiful. It doesn’t necessarily take a landscape gardener and hundreds of dollars to make 
the transformation. 
To make the inside of the house cheerful looking, and surely such makes a cheerful family, there must be 
the touch of nature. Nothing will take the place of it. 
Did you ever notice the difference a fern or some other potted plant brings into a room? It changes the 
whole atmosphere. 
In an artist’s sketch of a home you always find the trees and shrubbery and flowers over the lawn, because 
it is not only the finishing touch but it's the life and secret of a home. 
You can make your home more beautiful and pleasing to both your family and friends aud make it an end¬ 
less joy and pride unto yourself by using the gentle hand of nature. 
Make your home beautiful as well as useful. On the next few pages you will find some of the many vari¬ 
eties of plants and flowers that will give the nature touch to your home, both indoors and outdoors, aud these 
beautiful varieties are suitable to plant this spring. 
Our appeal is to make Atlanta the city beautiful and through your pride to make your home the home 
beautiful, a place where you are proud to live—a real home.
