LLUSTRATED on these pages are two actual plantings where Coniferous Ever- 
greens and Flowering Shrubs were used to produce plantings that are distinctly 
ornamental. The material selected provided a planting in which there has been 
attained a harmony of shape and color, with material that is planned in proportion to 
the size of the home. The main effort in both instances has been to obtain a simplicity 
in the planting which would harmonize with the dignified design of the house. Broad- 
leaf Evergreens are fully as useful as the Flowering Shrubs; in fact, they have one added 
advantage—that the foliage remains bright and cheerful all the year. 
Flowering Shrubs can be made into beautiful plantings and are often greatly pre- 
ferred because of their fragrant, colorful flowers. They can be used to make an entire 
front foundation planting, or advantage may be taken of their pleasing combination with 
a few ornamental Evergreens. The great number of forms of Evergreens and Shrubs may 
be altered to include any of the many varieties listed in this Catalogue. We shall be 
pleased to have you write us for assistance in planning your grounds 
The Outdoor Living-Room 
Much has been heard, in recent years, of the 
Outdoor Living-room which is really nothing more 
than the old, neglected back yard transformed by 
plantings of grass, ornamentals, and shade trees 
into a beautiful area where you and family may enjoy 
the privacy and rest of inviting outdoor surroundings 
without the noise and smoke of the street. Shrubs 
form the walls, while shade trees and the blue sky 
form the ceiling. The carpet is of green grass and the 
decorations can be fragrant groups of colorful flowers. 
Such a room does not have to be built in one year 
but can be planted ahead for several seasons and can 
be made to plans of your own origination, thereby 
adding to the final pleasure of a real beauty spot in 
your own home surroundings.
