Start an Outdoor Living 
Room This Year 
HE back yard does not have to be an ugly, unsightly spot exposed to public 
view. You can, with very little expense, turn it into a place of beauty, 
attractiveness and seclusion. 
Surrounded by a living wall of trees, covered with a living carpet of green 
and fringed with many beautiful deciduous and evergreen flowering shrubs, 
your back yard will take on a new note of color, attractiveness and interest. 
Decoration for the out-door living-room may be provided by nature’s constant 
procession of vivid colored blooms furnished by the annuals, perennials and 
bulbs. 
The out-door living-room need not be large or pretentious; from the man- 
sion to the smallest home a plan can be devised to fit the purse. With the plant 
material available at the present moderate prices you can accomplish wonders 
in the “back yard.” 
Come in and talk it over; we will be glad to assist you.
