SCREEN with PLANTING 
Have you an unsightly view or some object which you 
would like to screen? If so, it is easier than you think. 
The above photograph shows what can be done. Not only 
do attractive trees and shrubs blot out unsightly objects and 
screen objectionable views, but focus attention on attractive 
plants nearby. A small tree or large shrub close at hand 
will shut out the view of a considerable area at a distance.
