Description

Excerpt from Beautify Your Yard: A Book Showing "How" Explaining Briefly the Aims of Landscape Gardening as Applied to the "Small Place" An Index to the Most Satisfactory Plants and Their Proper Use The constant aim in its preparation has been to make it, first of all, practically helpful; to give simple, definite, workable suggestions to take up the different conditions with which the average planter has to contend, and to show briefly what plants to buy, and how to arrange them, to obtain the best results and most lasting satisfaction. This information 1s usually expensive and hard to get; but we believe this little work will put the salient points within easy reach of every one who really cares to know, and will show him how to make the outside of his home beautiful and attractive. The lists of Plants furnished are limited purposely they include the choicest things only - kinds that do best and please most. Descriptions have been omitted because so fully given in our Catalogue. The diagram on page 25 is not stereotyped, it is suggestive. The plants there named and numbered may be divided into a dozen different groups, and each group, perfect in itself, prove suitable for a similar situation in your yard. For example Take the group on the north side of the house those very plants may be expected to thrive and please on the north side of your home, if conditions are similar; so with the group of shrubs at the southeast corner of the house, with the vines about the porch, the arbor group, the street trees, the border of old-fashioned flowers in the rear, and so forth all around. Any of these suggestions may be applicable to your own home lawn. Few people realize what a far-reaching effect one prettily planted place has on the surrounding community. Its beauty is contagious. Others will see and try to follow the example, - so that everyone who improves his home grounds becomes, in a double sense, a public benefactor.
