Beautify and Improve 
Your Home Grounds 
Most of us realize the importance of Landscape Beauty in relation 
_ to our Homes, our Streets, Municipal Parks, Memorial Parks, Institutions 
and Industrial Sites everywhere. 
| It is so very important to have the right tree, the right shrub and the 
Fright plant in the right place. We all get a big thrill when rearranging 
‘furniture and fixtures m our homes, and it seems an even greater thrill 
comes to those who rearrange their garden plantings from time to time. 
Sure enough, it takes some imagination to visualize the ultimate beauty 
and effect that one creates when planting suitable sizes. In all of these 
matters, our trained horticulturists are here to help you and to advise 








Here in this great Metropolitan area we see thou- 
sands of nice homes of moderate size, such as the one 
illustrated. You can materially add to their value by 
planting a shade tree or two and adding some of the 
choicer quality plants that will last a long time. This 
sketch is merely a general suggestion to show you the 
average spacing of plants for a simple and inexpensive 
evergreen foundation planting. Again we suggest the 
use of additional deciduous trees and shrubs for shade 
and beauty. Come and talk about these matters with 
us. We have the plants to fit every place and purse.

Compare this established planting 
illustrated above with the unplanted 
home to the left and you get the gen- 
eral idea of landscape effect achieved 
by the selection of suitable Ever-

in detail what, when, and where to plant. We therefore invite you to 
come to the nursery and see the plants; most of them will be ready for 
you to take right along home during planting seasons from March to 
December. 
_ Investments in suitable plants for use in Foundation Plantings, Flower- 
ing Shrub Border Plantings, Rose Gardens, Perennial Borders and many 
Utility Plantings (hedges, screens and boundaries) always grow in value 
with the years. And don’t forget to add the health-giving dividends of 
relaxation and contentment that gardening alone can furnish. Big strong 
men, men and women with shattered nerves, tired businessmen and 
women... all of them put their mmds at ease as 
soon as they get close to Mother Earth and begin 
to dig, plant, hoe and cultivate. Sooner or later 
they begin to specialize and want to Iearn more and 
more about roses, for instance, until one particular 
phase becomes all-absorbing and there is no time 
left for outside worries. 
Evergreen plants near the home should 
consist of low, slow-growing material 
such as the upright and spreading Yews 
(Taxus), Narrow-leaved Hollies, Lily-of- 
the-Valley Shrubs (Andromeda), Ever- 
green Azaleas, and Ground Covers such 
as Pachysandra and Myrtle. An occa- 
sional Hemlock, informally sheared to 
keep within bounds, may be used for 
accent or corner plantings; larger de- 
ciduous shrubs, such as lilacs or dog- 
woods, may be strategically placed to 
soften the corners. Finding the right 
plants for the home grounds is a pleasant 
diversion for the owner.
