Pontiac's 
Landscape 
Department 
The home of today is not entirely within its 
walls. On the contrary, it includes the grounds 
surrounding the house, and more and more are 
home owners and purchasers of homes, giving 
thought to the beauty of the grounds the garden 
and the lawn. 
In the home of today, the encircling grounds 
take rank with the interior in points of interest 
and value, and no investment in the development 
of the home yields such dividends. The building 
itself deteriorates from the moment of its com¬ 
pletion, whereas the trees, the flowers and the 
shrubs, grow, develop and increase in value and 
beauty as the years pass.
