: SUALLY we call the plantings around our homes and doorways the foundation planting. In 
early days the plants at the entrance made what was known as the dooryard garden. Perhaps 
: if we think of this important part of the home-grounds as a garden, we will give a: little 
more thought to the plants which we select for it. After all, the purpose of any foundation 
planting is to enhance the beauty of the house and to help tie it in with the surrounding landseape. 
This simple dooryard planting is composed primarily of broad-leaved evergreens pleasingly 
combined with conifers. Good-sized hollies flank the door and rhododendrons, laurel, azaleas, 
taxus in several forms, together with a shapely hemlock at the corner, make a pleasing picture. 
i Let us help you with the plantings around your home.
