The Modern Way To Plant The Home Grounds 
PLANTING SHOULD BLEND THE HOUSE WITH 
THE GROUNDS 
Most houses appear bare and cold without the soften- 
ing influence of planting about the house foundation. 
Use graceful flowering shrubs 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 their comfortable 
shade and for framing the view of your house. 
MEMORIAL PLANTINGS GAIN PUBLIC 
ACCEPTANCE 
The value of planning living memorials to the na- 
tion’s heroes has been recognized in the minds of our 
people since World War |. One memorial plan is to es- 
tablish roadside picnic areas, beautified by fine plantings 
of shrubs and trees, with good water and arrangements 
for barbecues. Another is to establish a sanctuary for 
wild birds and still another to set up a series of areas for 
the propagation of wild game. One city project provides 
for the planting of trees along its principal streets, each 
tree marked by the name of the home town boy who fell 
in the war. The end of World War Il marked the begin- 
ning of a new era in memorial creation, which, if proper- 
ly organized and administered, will result in worthwhile 
memorials of lasting beauty.

Sandscaping of Industual Proportion 
More and more businessmen are recognizing the desirability of beautifying the grounds of factories, office 
buildings, show rooms and other service buildings. A lawn thoughtfully planted with shade trees, evergreens 
and shrubs will pay dividends through the favorable reaction of your customers, your employees and the gen- 
eral public.
