T HE foundation planting for the Byron Funeral Home was completed in the fall of 1937, and 
shows the immediate effect created by a few evergreens. From it originates a feeling of neat¬ 
ness and refinement, blending the architectural lines with the natural surrounding landscape. 
Fundamentally, American foundation plantings do more to create that home atmosphere which is 
so ably expressed in the slogan, “It’s not a home until it’s planted.” 
There are many things to be considered when choosing a foundation planting: the architecture of 
the house, whether the plants will be in a shady or exposed location, and if the soil is adapted to the 
varieties you wish to use. The ultimate height of the planting should be seriously considered; the 
mistake is often made of over-crowding and using fast-growing varieties that soon grow too tall, 
obstructing windows and becoming generally out of proportion to the building. 
One would never think of building a home without first seeking the advice of a competent architect. 
For the same reason the home-owner should consult a landscape architect, or reliable nurseryman, 
before considering the foundation planting. Let us help you solve this important problem and make 
your home a pleasanter place in which to live. Telephone us today and make an appointment with
