How To Make A Foundation Planting 
Set the plants about three feet apart, in as natural 
manner as possible. Arrange in three groups: 
(1) Back Group. Set taller species nearest the 
building; fill corners. Leave windows unobstructed. 
(2) Middle Group. In front of tallest-growing 
set species of medium height, not making even rows, 
but filling gaps. 
(3) Front Group. Finish with an edging all 
round of lowest-growing plants. 
Here a massive planting of evergreens affords 
privacy, hides the high foundation and dignifies 
the drive.

Just as a foundation planting dignifies the ap¬ 
pearance of the home and the approach to it, so many 
other types of buildings can often be beautified by 
the same treatment. Churches, banks, libraries, 
courthouses, town halls and other public buildings 
and monuments look better and give a more prosperous 
air to the communities they serve if they have plant¬ 
ings around them. Little Tree Farms grows quantities 
of big evergreens — just right for this kind of planting. 
For descriptions of the various evergreens, see pages 
24 to 37 of this catalogue. 
A simple and inexpensive planting made for one of our customers. The same group of plants could 
be arranged to fit other types of architecture. 
Evergreens are priced f.o.b. our nursery. Packing for rail shipments extra at cost.
