YOUR ONE BEST 
POST-WAR INVESTMENT 
Only Landseape Planting 
Increases in Value from 
Year to Year, for instance 
At End of Five Years 
It Shrinks To $350* 
— 
ee ae *See Automobile Blue Book 
When Purchased $8150 
At End of Five Wears It Has 
Increased in Value to 81600 

It is a good point to remember that while 
anything else you buy will decrease in value 
from the very day you purchase it, expenditures 
in trees, shrubs and evergreens will increase in 
value as they grow in beauty. 
Not only do the plantings themselves grow 
in value, but any real estate operator will tell 
you that landscape plantings add greatly to the 
value of property—far more than the cost of 
such plantings. An automobile driven around the 
block begins to depreciate at once, but trees, 
shrubs and evergreens can be marked up in 
value from year to year. Thus, our most logical 
conclusion is that one of the wisest home invest- 
ments we could make is the improvement of our 
grounds.
