PLANTING HOME GROUNDS 
Judicious combinations of both annuals and perennials 
in the same flower bed will insure blossoms all summer 
until frost. 
SCREEN PLANTING 
A very pleasing use of trees, shrubs and flowers is in 
screening from view unsightly corners or buildings on 
one’s home grounds. Evergreens are especially suitable 
for this purpose for they are green and dense all the year. 
A list of deciduous plants suitable for screen plant¬ 
ings is presented elsewhere in this book. 
Utility Buildings may be transformed into a feature 
of the home landscape by a background of trees, and by 
such an arrangement of shrubs and plants that the build¬ 
ings and utility features will blend into the surroundings. 
“A pleasing use of trees and shrubs is in a mass planting to screen 
from view buildings and unsightly corners.”
