The Art of 
“Living Out- 
ot- Doors” 

A garden spot that represents ease, leisure, space and outdoor beauty. 
Right in your own home yard, no matter what 
its size, there is an opportunity to create a shelter- 
spot. There, in sheltered seclusion, you can find 
rest and ease in the quiet beauty of the out-of-doors. 
Simplicity of Arrangement 
A delightful ‘out-of-doors living room’ can be 
made without elaborate settings. All that is needed 
is a tasteful and proper arrangement of plantings 
and simple accessories that provide comfort and 
telaxation. 
Home Grounds Should Have Privacy 
A sense of privacy in the yard, some shelter from 
the public gaze, is much to be desired. This par- 
tial seclusion can readily be secured through taller 
plantings made along the lot boundaries. 
You, too, 
can make your 
yard your out-door living room. Developed by Holm & Olson. 

Within this sheltering “wall-of-green"’ there are 
ideal locations, in an inner border, for all those 
flowering plants you particularly love. 
While protecting and sheltering the private lawn 
area the lot boundary planting can be a border of 
both flower and foliage of unusual beauty. 
You Can Develop Your Yard So That 
it Invites Use 
An open central area of well-kept lawn beckons 
the foot-steps. A shapely tree or two for protection 
with suitable garden seat or chairs in their cool 
shadows will create a lure to the garden that is ir- 
resistible. 
Children play safely in such a foliage-protected 
yard and the entire household turns gratefully to 
such surroundings for healthful pleasure and rec- 
reation.
