Each of us may have a new home this year! Though 
this may not he literally true, in the sense of build¬ 
ing, it is universally true regarding the betterment 
of that which we already have. 
The vogue for beauty outside the house, as well as 
within, is upon us—and this new vogue finds its 
most charming expression in the modern style in 
planting, using plant materials to the fullest ex¬ 
tent possible that they may bring to your grounds 
year-’round color, interest, and beauty. Well-plant¬ 
ed and well-kept home grounds are as much a part 
of the trend of the times as modern motor cars 
and fashionable apparel. 
You will be surprised to see how much farther your 
dollar goes in buying plants for outdoor furnish¬ 
ings as compared to buying furnishings for the 
house. And what’s more-—every tree, hedge, vine, 
and shrub you plant adds far more to the actual 
cash value of your property than its cost. Plant¬ 
ing is a sound investment yielding continuous divi¬ 
dends. 
But even more important than the added monetary 
value is the joy and satisfaction of creating and 
living amid beautiful surroundings. 
No matter how large or how small your place, there 
are sure to be beauty possibilities which can be 
developed through planting. If a part of your 
grounds is already planted you will want to make 
some changes and additions. If you are just be¬ 
ginning to dabble in growing things, you are in¬ 
deed to be envied, for a world of pleasant new ex¬ 
perience is ahead of you.
