INCORRECT 
How often we see a home planted with a “hit or miss” 
group of evergreens! Take the above case for an example. 
It is a well-built home with studied perfection in construc¬ 
tion, yet with a foundation planting which might be 
termed “a collector’s gallery.” 
Note the total absence of a design which relates the 
planting to the architecture of the house. Add to this 
the use of fast-growing Spruces which have already cov¬ 
ered the windows, and the discrepancies of this planting 
are readily seen. 
CORRECT 
There is harmony in this picture. Instead of the eye 
following the restless “up and downs” of the previous 
planting, the more restful impression of unity between 
home and planting is present. 
This impression is attained by placing the trees so that 
the low-lying, homelike characteristic is enhanced rather 
than its utilitarian heighth. Note, too, that the windows 
will never be covered; and how the porch is effectively 
screened and yet made an integral part of the finished 
picture.
