Landscaping for Pleasant Outdoor Living Near the Sea 
Successful Seashore “Planting 
Salt-laden winds off the sea, and soils that are 
often light and sandy, require specialized knowledge 
to assure success with plantings in these situations so 
typical of Cape Cod. 
Three main requirements are: planting in drift- 
like masses to give plants mutual protection; the 
substitution of good fertile soil for the unproductive 
sand; and, most important of all, the wise selection 
and arrangement of strong husky plants of kinds 
proven by experience capable of surviving in the 
salt sea wind exposures. 
Our sixty-eight years of practical experience, to- 
gether with skillful planning, and the superior qual- 
ity of Cape-grown plant materials from our own 
Nurseries, have made Lawrence’s seaside landscape 
plantings outstandingly successful in their lasting 
beauty and effectiveness.
