Plan Showing Landscape Arrangement for a Front Yard 
THE FRONT YARD SHOULD BE OPEN | 
AND INVITING ! 
In America it is the custom to leave ! 
the front yard open to the public view. ] 
Good judgment dictates that this por- ! 
tion of the grounds be so attractive 
as to create a pleasing impression on 
the passerby. 
For the utmost in attractiveness in 
the front yard, plan to have an open 
stretch of well kept lawn framed on | 
either side, along the property lines, ' 
by plantings of evergreens and 
shrubs in pleasing arrangement. The 
planting along the house foundation 
in front should be tastefully arranged 
to blend the house with the grounds. 
Here, all too often, a cluttered plant¬ 
ing of miscellaneous matter is used 
which is devoid of all design and 
soon becomes a detriment to the j 
good appearance of the house rather f 
than an addition to it. Corner plant- jl 
ings, to frame the property are in I 
good taste and often times a few j 
specimen plants at the corners are ' 
in good design. Shade trees should, 
of course, be provided both in the i 
yard and in the boulevard and a spe- j 
cimen evergreen or a group of ever¬ 
greens may often be added with j 
pleasing results. '

The Above Front Yard After Planting 
A New Vogue is Sweeping 
the Country 
Everywhere we look we see 
fresh evidence of the great desire 
for beautiful home surroundings 
that is sweeping the country. The 
editors of our great magazines 
and newspapers, whose fing¬ 
ers are ever on the public pulse 
are fully conscious of this trend 
and are devoting ever in¬ 
creasing space to the 
subject of beautifying 
the home grounds. 
As a result, the eyes of 
the American people are 
being directed, as never 
before, to their home sur¬ 
roundings. Garden Clubs 
are springing up every¬ 
where and all over Amer¬ 
ica one finds a new interest 
in the fascinating pastime of 
beautifying the home. And it is good 
that this is the case, for America will be¬ 
come the garden spot of the world when every 
citizen comes to realize that— 
IVs not a home until iVs planted.
