Rear Yad Planting 
The great majority of homes are, of course, on relatively small, narrow lots, with 
surroundings which oftentimes need to be at least partially screened out from your 
view from the house or the garden. There is also the problem of arranging things 
so that the small space available will appear larger than it really is. 
The simplest solution of the first of 
these problems is first to screen out un- 
sightly views by planting near the lot 
line, closely planted tall, slim trees which 
do not occupy too much space, such as 
Bolleana or Lombardy Poplar or Ever- 
greens, such as Pyramidal Arbor-Vitae 
or slim type Junipers, or erect a tall 
trellis covered with Climbing Roses, 
Wisteria, Silver Lace Vine, Honey- 
suckle or Clematis, etc. 
The trick of making the place look 
large is to keep an unobstructed view 
of open lawn as much as possible. Do 
not clutter it up with trees, shrubs, beds, 
etc., keep these at the sides and rear. 
An attractive point of interest at the 
far end: Summer House, Seat, Bird 
Bath, Sundial, or other feature, helps 
the effect of distance. Do not go too 
far in the matter of garden furniture 
such as arches, gazing globes, benches, 
etc. A few well selected, well placed 
items are much better for appearance.
