Two Instructive Sketches for Home Owners 
Mother Nature, with the Assistance of a Few Vines and Shrubs, Made No. 1 into No. 2 
Picture No. I, you will note is a house. Unfortunately, houses like this 
are all too common because their owners or tenants do not realize that the 
expenditure of a few dollars on shrubs and vines, plus some joyous, health¬ 
ful, outdoor work, will transform a place in a couple of years, from an en¬ 
closure of wood, bricks or stone, called a house, into a cosy, inviting home. 
Spend not over 2 per cent of the value of a house for outdoor plants— 
shrubs, hardy vines, grass seed, and hedges, and you will add more to the 
value of the property than 10 per cent spent on decorating the house itself. 
The 2 per cent ground decorations increase rapidly in value with little care 
and practically no further expenditure, while the 10 per cent paint or other 
house decoration deteriorates annually. 
Suppose you are interested in dividends more than mere beauty! Then 
do as large real-estate operators do and use hardy, healthy plants and vines 
to increase the value of your property. 
If your house is not already closely surrounded, your first care should be 
to plant a living, green, inviting non-rotting fence of Japan Barberry or 
Privet along your boundary lines and, when planting is finished, you will be 
amazed at the different “feel” there is about your place. 
Get some vines, climbing roses, shrubs, and grass started. Do it this 
fall for u waiting a season means losing a season .”
