The Modern Way To Plant The Home Grounds 
PLANTING SHOULD BLEND THE HOUSE WITH THE GROUNDS 
Most houses appear bare and cold without the softening influence of planting about the house foundation. 
Use graceful flowering shrubs, evergreens and other plants to take away the abrupt and harsh separation of house 
and grounds. The fragrance of flowers, the color and texture of foliage, the contrast of twig and berry are but 
part of the beauty you will enjoy from plants in the foundation planting. 
It is in good taste to leave the front yard open to the public view and to make this portion of your grounds 
so attractive that it makes a pleasing impression on the passerby. 
For the utmost in attractiveness in this area, plan to have an open stretch of well kept lawn framed on either 
side by plantings of evergreens and shrubs placed in pleasing arrangement. Plant trees for shade and to frame the 
view of your house. 
EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE AN OUTDOOR LIVING ROOM 
In place of an open rear yard within the view of everyone 
you should plan a private outdoor living room. Here you can 
enjoy the sunshine, and work among your shrubbery and gay 
flowers out of the sight of prying eyes. Let the turf provide a 
green carpet; plant beautiful trees, shrubs and evergreens to 
make the walls which set the room apart and screen it from 
view. Plant hardy perennial flowers along the 
borders to provide fragrance and color. Then 
locate a few trees to provide comfortable shade 
and fruit. Altogether you will have a room as 
delightful as anyone could dream, a 
room which will give you countless 
hours of enjoyment and satisfaction.
