Evergreen plantings near the house should consist of low slow-growing ma-.. 
terial such as the Narrow-leaved Hollies, Spreading and Upright Yews, Lily-of- 
the-Valley Shrubs, Evergreen Azaleas, Rhododendrons, and Pyracantha. The in- 
fone planting should merely tie in the grounds with the house and not hide the 
oundation,

One of the hardiest Boxwoods. Grows quite 
rapidly. Blue-green foliage retains a good 
color all year. Use in locations where other 
varieties are not hardy. Can be sheared to 
any desired height. 8 to 10 in., 10 for $2.50,

cosa). For edging. 5 to 6 in., 10 for $3.50,

Here is a collection of the choicest nursery stock. We have chosen those varieties that might truly 
be called the “crown jewels of horticulture.’ As a border 30 feet long and 6 feet wide, it will give im- 
mediate pleasurable returns that will steadily increase with the growth in size and beauty. This col- 
lection also may be tastefully arranged to make a most pleasing foundation planting for the house. 
To adapt this group for a foundation planting, the center portion comprised of C, E, and J may be 
entirely removed to allow for the entrance and walk. The planned area remaining will suitably and 
artistically set off the entrance. The balance of the plants not accounted for should be divided to 
orseete the planting at both ends. Or, the plants may be used simply to fill out an existing planting.
