PLANNING MAKES YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE! 
Perhaps, like thousands of other folks, you have just 
moved into a new house. Before the hoes was built, a 
bulldozer came in and took out all the trees and native 
shrubs — and now your new home stands alone without 
shade or shrubbery for softening beyond the minimum 
which the builder had to put in for you. 
No — it’s not like the home of which you've dreamed... 
for that dream home had beautiful shade trees, and trees 
for color; it had shrubs for flowers, and hedges and borders 
for privacy. Perhaps it had a pool and a terrace. 
DON’T GIVE UP YOUR DREAMS... for they can come 
true. If you can’t plant all at once then plan a program 
of a period of years. Here are a few DON'TS you'll need 
to remember: 
DON’T act hastily and unwisely. Sit down and think of 
what you'll want your home to look like later and make 
plans. 
DON’T stick in everything your well-meaning friends and 
neighbors give you. 
DON’T plant haphazardly. If you do you will have a 
lot of transplanting to do. 
STOP — THINK — PLAN! 
In landscaping, it’s not what you use, but how you use it. 
So decide what youd like to have, and make your plans. 
) Plant your trees and larger shrubs first . . . then fill in 
; ) with other material. 
PLANS ARE IMPORTANT. With a plan you put every- 
thing in the right spot. Your landscape architect takes into 
consideration how the plants grow and recommends the 
fe A Ww N See material to give you the best effect.
