Home Grounds Should Have Privacy 
A sense of privacy in the yard, some shelter from 
the public gaze, is much to be desired. This partial 
seclusion can readily be secured through taller plant- 
ings made along the lot boundaries. 
Within this sheltering “wall-of-green” there are 
ideal locations, in an inner border, for flowering 
plants and garden features. 
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 shad- 
ows will create a lure to the garden that is irresistible. 
Children play safely in such a foliage-protected 
yard and the entire household turns gratefully to such 
surroundings for healthful pleasure and recreation. 

Add seclusion and year round beauty to your home grounds. 
The Out Door Living Room 
The style for beauty, seclusion and use outside the 
home is upon us—and this new style finds its most 
charming expression in the Modern Outdoor Living 
Room. 
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-ofdoors. 
A delighttul “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 relaxation.
