Drive and Street Plantings 
Beauty Along Your 
DRIVES and STREETS 
The location and planting of driveways 
- be they short or long —• is a very im¬ 
portant factor in the development of any 
property. On small suburban properties 
the driveway is usually correctly located 
on the side of the lot. Sufficient room 
should be allowed to plant either a high 
screen border of evergreens or shrubs, or 
where height and screening effect is not 
desirable, a low border of perennials. 
The longer drives found on large estates 
present a more diversified problem which 
requires individual treatment. Here is 
where expert advice is essential that the 
best results may be obtained at minimum 
cost. 
Many communities have an established 
program of Street Planting. Has yours? 
We make a general appeal to all indi¬ 
viduals as citizens, members of Garden, 
Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs, Boards of 
Trade and other semi-public organizations 
interested in civic betterment, to help 
develop public interest in an intelligent 
plan of street planting. 
The problem of the “ tum-a-round ” is beautifully 
solved by. bed planting of choice evergreens with 
or without a grass border, as here. An evergreen 
bed is made by planting the tallest species in the 
centre, those that grow less tall around these, and 
the prostrate forms round the edge. 
SHADY PLACES 
Everybody who has any land knows the “Shady 
place” problems, — the place where things don’t 
grow readily, yet which needs growing things to 
make it attractive. Sometimes it is only an angle of 
lawn shaded by the house. Often it is an area where 
tall shade trees, getting old, are leaving a rather dreary 
prospect underneath. Lawn and woods edges often 
present this problem. 
You can get an effect similar to this ivith a pair of our Spruces or Firs. 
Roadside Planting 
There are two distinct ideas followed 
in roadside planting. The first is to plant 
a row of trees on each side of the road, 
equally far apart, either opposite or 
alternating. A development of this idea 
is to plant two or more rows on each side 
(See pictures at right below and bottom page <?). 
The second plan is to plant the trees 
in a natural manner, setting them in 
recurring heavier groups, with scattering 
trees between; or in continuous naturalistic 
masses. If the general landscape has free, 
unstudied lines, this is the most beautiful 
method. ( See picture left below and top 
page 8).

No tree or shrub can live in the dark. Some thrive 
in slight shade, certain others have adapted them¬ 
selves to greater shade. The latter are valuable for 
planting under deciduous trees along roadways.

perience with shady-place planting and we are glad
