WHAT TO PLANT IN FOUNDATION PLANTINGS 
If you have a house built low to the ground, 
such as a ranch-type home, these shrubs 
have been specially chosen to meet your 
landscape needs. They remain low enough 
to retain the spacious charm of your home, 
they won't grow up to obstruct the view, 
and you'll always have plenty of light and 
air. The recommendations given below indi- 
cate a few of many ways in which these 
shrubs may be combined with each other 
and with low growing shrubs on other pages. 
For a 10-ft. picture window, try 5 Dwarf 
Deutzia, (or 6 Dwarf European Cranberry) 
planted below the window, and use one 
Dwarf Mock Orange at each end. 
For a doorway planting you might use 
1 Dwarf Honeysuckle with a Hypericum and 
a Spirea Froebel (from Page 25). Use one 
such group on each side of the door. 
For a corner planting we recommend 3 
Dwarf Euonymus with 2 Dwarf Deutzia and 
1 Hypericum Goldflower (or a Dwarf Euro- 
pean Cranberry) grouped in front. 
Pages 24-27 have bas WARDS 23 
more low shrubs.
