How To PLan Your Own FounpDaTION PLANTING. The planting at the front of the house should be kept simple in color and line with 
not more than two or three different textures and forms. Use it to frame the house and to unite it with the rest-of the garden. In 
planning your foundation group, choose one or two high points. For example: accent the doorway with tall, narrow evergreens 
and balance these by shrubby masses at the corners. The planting should point outward from the corner like an arrow—then 
extend to the wall. Note where to keep your planting low to get light to basement windows. (Evergreens may frame the view from 
the house windows but never hide it.) Use some low plants to get variety of mass. Don’t let your plantings consist of a line of 
jigsaw peaks—keep them in a softened line that gradually meets the lawn. At least once on every building face, let the founda- 
tion show through to retain the feeling of solidity. Read ‘’Facts about Wards Evergreens’’ on Page 49. For Dogzoff see Page 67.
