This Catalog will Help You Improve Your Home Qrounds 
The purpose of this page is to suggest a few of the fundamental 
characteristics of the modern landscape design. As fashions change 
in other arts, so do styles change gradually in landscaping. The land¬ 
scape plan that you might design yourself, or the plan on which our 
representative might lend his assistance, log¬ 
ically would divide the property to be land- A A 
scaped into three areas, commonly known as ji i -QjjSf SJ fis 
PUBLIC AREA 
The landscaping of the public area is con¬ 
cerned with that part of the property ordi¬ 
narily in front of the house, which is open 
to public view. The simplest and usually the 
most artistic planting for that part of the 
grounds is a foundation planting of shrubs 
or evergreens about the house. Its purpose 
is to dress up the home most effectively for 
public view. Of course, a few shade trees 
are necessary for street and lawn planting. 
Possibly there is just the place for a specimen 
evergreen or for a small flowering orna¬ 
mental tree. A living Christmas tree planted 
near the house will add year-round beauty 
and provide a permanent tree for holiday 
decorations.

SERVICE AREA 
The planning and planting of the service area are con¬ 
cerned with the location of the walks and drives, the garage, 
clothes drying area, the vegetable garden, children’s play¬ 
ground and similar spaces. Walks and drives will be ar¬ 
ranged most advantageously so that the lawn will not be 
disfigured. Good vistas should be capitalized upon. The 
plan will call for the use of every square foot of ground 
most effectively. It is well to compute the cost of a lot on 
a square foot basis to lend appreciation to the importance 
of making the best possible use of every bit of space.
