For Year-Round Beauty 
We offer the following suggestions to those 
who desire to beautify their grounds— 
Evergreen plantings are supposed to be perma¬ 
nent so at least three feet should be allowed 
between plants for development. The bare wall 
spaces, the angle where the porch or steps 
extend from the house, and the corners of the 
house need height. These are the “character’’ 
plants, and groupings in front of these should 
be of lower growing or spreading types. Vari¬ 
ations in height add much finish to the plant¬ 
ings. Never set tall plants in front of windows. 
Study outlines in picture at left. 
Plants not marked E&B can be had with ball 
of earth for 50c each additional. All Junipers 
and Arbor Vitaes should be ordered balled and 
burlapped so they can be moved without loss 
of vitality.
