Creative Design in Landscape Leads the 
Way to Greater Enjoyment of Your Home 
TRY TO PICTURE THIS SCENE IN YOUR MIND’S EYE!— 
laden branch across your dining room window. Below is a terrace, 
flagged in soft grays and hedged about with rich green yew. Then across 
a velvet lawn, imagine a garden with bright yellow and cheerful orange 
flowers—a contrast with more quiet blues and purples. Forming the background 
and enclosing the scene for just you and your family, is a living screen of shrubs 
and trees, in itself a blossom-studded mass of ever-changing beauty. This could 
be the view from YOUR dining room window.

With such cheerful, living pictures for the outlook from your home, your 
family would be a happier one. With surroundings like these, nerves would 
relax and troubles would seem more remote. 
But—really useful and beautiful landscapes do not just happen. They are 
carefully planned. That graceful crab-apple over the dining room window 
would be first a circular symbol on a blue print. Its variety would be chosen 
from ai list of such trees for one of the right bushiness and height. Every plant 
and detail of your landscape should be as well considered. 
The work of planning such a landscape is a job for only a trained man. 
He must know what plants grow to best advantage in the vicinity. He must 
have creative ability in the use of plants and all the other elements that go 
into the completed design. 
It is for all these reasons that the Swain Nelson Organization has made 
great effort to obtain only Landscape Architects of thorough training and ex- 
perience. Evidence of their success can be seen on the grounds of thousands 
of satisfied owners, a few of which are pictured on these pages.
