PLANT THE SMALL HOME 
AS WELL AS THE LARGE 
Mere size is no measuring stick by which 
to judge the possibilities for beautiful 
grounds. The home on a small lot can have 
just as attractive surroundings as the 
largest estate in the land. In fact, some of 
the very prettiest and most tastefid plant¬ 
ings in the country today are to he found 
surrounding homes of modest size. 
The city apartment dweller can often find 
a place for hardy flowers or other plants for 
his enjoyment. A vine growing on an apart¬ 
ment wall will add considerable beauty to 
the building. 
The humble cottage and stately mansion 
both need a setting of growing things to 
attain their fidl beauty and both suffer 
equally as much by the lack of well planted, 
well-cared-for grounds.
