FOUNDATION LANDSCAPING 
This is just a short sketch on landscaping. Notice first the large heavy trees are placed 
on the sides and the rear and forms as it is, a pleasing picture frame for the home. The 
larger growing shrubs are planted on the side and next to the building. Banking in front 
of them in a tapering form, the smaller growing ornamental shrubs and then the flowers 
so that the entire planting will blend in with the green verdure of the lawn. 
All planting around the dwelling should form graceful curves so as to copy nature and 
take off the stiff effects. 
Here is a most effective planting of Japanese Barberry, Everbleoming Roses, 
Red-stem Dogwood with one Persian Lilac to add height. This attractive foun¬ 
dation planting costs only a few dollars. Photo above. 
Flowers around the edge of 
a planting or in beds on the 
side and back look more tas¬ 
ty as an open lawn showing 
the planting around the foun¬ 
dation gives a more finished 
view, and a well tended lawn 
is always attractive. Flower 
beds in fantastic shapes in 
the front lawn are not in 
good taste and especially 
where there are clashing col¬ 
ors hut fancies differ and 
artists who copy the same 
picture will all have a dif¬ 
ferent viewpoint. We will 
gladly make rough plans for 
any customer or will make a 
complete plan at actual ex¬ 
pense. Feel free to write us 
at anytime about any plant¬ 
ing plan, varieties in the 
seed line or in the nursery 
department. 
As a key, 133-1 and 64-4 
are heavy shrubs like Persian 
and French Lilacs, Tart. 
Honeysuckles, Snowballs, etc. 
or if this effect would be too 
tall and hea^y, Spireas, 
Flowering Almond, Elders, 
H. B. Cranberry can be used 
with dwarfer growing shrubs 
always in front. 90-4 or sent¬ 
inels can be dwarf evergreens 
or two of any variety of 
shrubs.
