“ITS NOT A HOME UNTIL IT’S PLANTED”’ 
THIS CATALOG will Help You Improve Your Home Grounds 
The purpose of this page is to suggest a few of the fundamental 
characteristics of the modern landscape design. As fashions change 
in other arts, so do styles change in landscaping. The landscape plan 
that you might design yourself, or the plan on which our representative 
might lend his assistance, logically would 
divide the property to be landscaped into 
three areas; referred to usually as the public, 
the private and the service area. 
PUBLIC AREA 
The landscaping of the public area deals & 
with that part of the property ordinarily in 
front of the house, and open to public view. 
The simplest, and usually the most artistic 
planting for this part of the grounds, is a 
foundation planting of shrubs or evergreens 
about the house. Its purpose is to dress up 
the home most effectively for passers-by. Of 
course, a few shade trees are necessary for street 
and lawn planting. 
SERVICE AREA ra 
The planning and planting of the service area are ¢dz 
concerned with the location of the walks and drives, ¢ 
the garage, clothes drying area, the vegetable garden, 
children’s playground and similar spaces. Walks and 
drives will be arranged most advantageously so that the 
lawn will not be disfigured. Good vistas should be 
studied. The plan will call for the most effective use of 
every square foot of ground.
