THE FOUNDATION PLANTING 
Three factors which govern the number of trees neces- 
sary for desirable foundation planting are: 1. size of the 
house; 2. height of foundation; 3. matter of economy. 
For the simplest entrance design, planting “A” is sug- 
gested. This consists of one tall tree on either side of the 
entrance and one or two low-growing forms around it. The 
design is simple, but definitely effective.

Planting “B” shows the same simple design with the 
addition of a small group at each corner.

For the complete foundation landscaping, planting “C” 
covers the same area and uses low-growing trees between 
the windows. 

Sketch “D” is designed lor the large home where space 
allows two rows of Evergreens to be used. This series of 
sketches briefly illustrates the evolution of a planting from 
the simplest form up to the relatively complete project. From 
the standpoint of economy, a planting of this type may be 
developed over a period of several years working from 
sketch “A” through sketch “D.” The same idea in plantings 
could easily be carried out around the rest of the grounds.
