The old back yard has become the modern outdoor living 
room. In the old days the back yard too frequently was 
merely a dumping ground, unadorned and for the most part 
neglected. It presented far from a pleasing appearance from 
the rear windows of the house. Today, however, the out' 
door living room, as the name indicates, represents an ex' 
tension of the indoor living room out'of'doors. It is the 
home owner’s solution to the problem of how to make his 
property most valuable and how to get the most enjoyment 
from it, realizing, as most home owners do, that the charm 
of flowering plants, tastefully arranged, is irresistible. All 
members of the family spend countless hours of pleasure and 
relaxation in the outdoor living room. It will probably be en¬ 
closed with walls of living green, for the foliage of living 
plants, both deciduous and evergreen, offers infinite variety 
PRIVATE AREA 
in the color and texture of the foliage. Unsightly views in the sur¬ 
roundings, if they exist, may be screened out with larger shrubs and 
trees. Advantage will be taken of desirable views with the arrangement 
of lower plantings. Hardy bulbs and flowers will be planted along the 
borders to provide additional color and 
fragrance. Comfortable shade, welcome 
spring blossoms and delicious fruit will 
be provided by well located shade and 
fruit trees. Finally, the turf will add the 
green carpet and the blue sky the ceil¬ 
ing for your inviting outdoor living 
room, one of the most valuable assets 
of the well planted home. 
OUR 
LANDSCAPE DEPART¬ 
MENT WILL HELP YOU 
Our Landscape Department is in charge 
of an experienced Landscape Architect 
and is thoroughly qualified to consider 
your planting problems and to help you 
select the proper trees and shrubs for the 
right places. As pioneers in the nursery 
business in Wisconsin, we are called 
upon each year to help and advise thous¬ 
ands of home owners with their planting 
problems. Our advice continues to be 
available whether you have a large home 
or a small home, an old home or a new 
home, or whether you are concerned with 
only a dooryard planting. 
It is well to bear in mind that it is 
just as essential to have a good land¬ 
scape plan for the home grounds as it is 
to have a plan for the construction of the 
dwelling itself. The right landscape plan, 
as developed by this Department, will 
assure you of a proper planting for your 
home
