The Front Yard Should be Open and Inviting 
In America it is the custom to 
the public. It is in good taste to 
make this portion of your grounds 
so attractive that it makes a 
pleasing impression on the passer¬ 
by. 
For the utmost in attrac¬ 
tiveness in the front yard, 
plan to have an open stretch 
of well kept lawn framed on 
either side by plantings of 
evergreens and shrubs placed 
in pleasing arrangement in beds 
and borders along the lot lines 
Plant hardy flowers in front of shrub¬ 
bery borders and in bays to add color 
and interest. Plant trees for shade and to 
frame the view of your house. 
leave the front yard open to

In place of an open rear 
yard within the view of ev¬ 
eryone you should plan a 
private outdoor living room. 
Here you can enjoy the sun¬ 
shine, and work among your 
shrubbery and gay flowers 
out of the sight of prying 
eyes. Let the turf provide a 
green carpet; plant beautiful trees, 
shrubs and evergreens to make the 
walls which set the room apart and 
screen it from view. Plant hardy flowers 
along the borders to provide fragrance and 
color. Then locate a few trees to provide 
comfortable shade and fruit. Altogether you will have a room 
as delightful as anyone could dream, a room which will give you 
countless hours of enjoyment and satisfaction. 
This illustrates an outdoor living room with its green carpet for the 
kiddies’ feet, its sweet flowering blooms so refreshing to all and its friendly 
trees which throw a kindly shade.---
