LANDSCAPE DESIGN

• With appreciation of good design now widespread, additional 
emphasis is placed on the necessity for adequate landscape treat¬ 
ment. No longer does the home or business structure satisfy as a 
self-contained unit to be surrounded by haphazard plantings. 
Planned gardens are now the rule, and discriminating people find 
the services of a competent Landscape Organization equally as 
essential as those of the Building Architect. A short drive through 
our newer residential sections will serve to convince one that the 
small cost of a soundly-planned, well-executed garden adds im¬ 
measurably to the total effect . . . provides, in fact, a desirable 
unity between architecture and home surroundings. 
Qo^tuUi 0t4n. LANDSCAPE ORGANIZATION 
Grouped about these facing pages are views of gardens planned and con¬ 
structed by our Landscape Organization. As you see, they represent a variety 
of effects. Yet one factor is common to them all . . . each garden has been 
planned to unify architecture and terrain, providing a single harmonious unit 
of house and grounds. Because our climate allows so much time in which 
gardens may be enjoyed and “lived in" due allowance has been made for 
“livability" . . . and in each case the best natural features of the grounds have 
been retained. 
From the standpoint of investment these services are justified . . . first, because 
well-designed home surroundings are a physical asset; and second, because 
our experience results in savings thr,ough the use of suitable materials which 
need not be replaced, and which may be maintained at economical cost. 
Charges are reasonable, and cost information is supplied in advance. 
Our Landscape Organization consists of trained men who devote full time to 
this work. Behind them stands the resources of the West's largest and oldest 
nursery. Installation of lawns, sprinkler systems, retaining walls, driveways 
and walks, pools, terraces ... in fact every phase of design and construction 
are included in our service. 
Funds are available through F. H. A., not only for the purchase of garden ma¬ 
terials, but for grading, installing sprinkler systems, sidewalks . . . every part 
of the outdoor development. 
Our Landscape Organization will welcome a consultation whenever conveni¬ 
ent at your home or office. Telephone or write us.

The second picture shows an inviting path leading through a rose garden to
