Landscape Jmprovement 
HOW TO GO ABOUT IT 
There are right ways and wrong ways of doing 
"most everything. Certainly this is true of landscap- 
ing, whether it involves merely planting a few shrubs 
around the base of the house or improving the entire 
property. 
Wisest procedure for getting best results may be 
outlined in five simple steps: 
1. Get the urge. 
2. Seek sound advice from those who know 
how and why and what. 
3. Plan in advance. Get a practical workable 
program, and go at it step by step, as your 
wishes suggest or your budget dictates. 
4. Do what you do thoroughly. Don’t be elabo- 
rate or extravagant but don’t skimp. 
5. Take good care of whatever you have. 
On the following pages some information and sug- 
gestions are offered which we think will be helpful
