Enrich Your Grounds 
Formal (geometric) plantings are not so 
commonly found in small home grounds but 
can be effective and practical and not too 
much work for the average home owner to 
care for in spare time. 

This plan could be adapted to a small 50- 
foot lot or enlarged to almost any size space 
available. In this case, it was built at the back 
of the residence with a view from a large win- 
dow looking directly down the center walk 
toward the summer house at the end. The 
service area, drying yard, etc., if required, 
would be at the side of the house, perhaps 
behind the garage. 
This particular planting is primarily a rose 
garden with climbing roses on the trellis fence 
surrounding three sides of the garden with 
the house filling the other side or nearly so. 
The planting at the back line and along the 
trellis at the sides could be devoted to peren- 
nial or annual flowers or both. 
We are not attempting a planting list for 
this garden, leaving the choice of plants to 
your selection and your preference. This plan 
would not require many plants to fill the 
flower areas since much of the space is oc- 
cupied with grass edgings, walks, etc.
