Arborvitae Foliage 
How To PLan Your Own FounpatTIon PLantinc: 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. It should be used 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 like Irish Juniper or Pyramidal Arborvitae. 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 you must keep your planting low to get light to base- 
ment 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 ina softened line that gradually meets the lawn. At least 
once on every building face, let the foundation show through to retain the feeling of solidity. Keep the foundation planting close to 
the wall, and let the lawn meet the building in several places. To protect young evergreens from dogs use Dogzoff on Page 67. 
Be sure to read ’/Facts about Wards Evergreens’’ on Page 17. For easy feeding see the new Evergreen root feeder on Page 41.
