HOME BEAUTIFYING SUGGESTIONS
Including Lists of Hardy Ornamental Stock and Information for Their Proper Use
HIS little booklet is put out to assist our customers in arriving at a decision as to what they want to plant in their grounds. It is hard to judge by the catalogue description as to how these shrubs will look in connection with the different style houses. We hope that the planting list placed at the side of the result will be a
great assistance in doing this.
The engravings have been made from photographs that were taken of cheap or mod- erate priced homes, such as the majority of us must be satisfied with, and which respond to horticultural planting even more effectively than the more elaborate huuses which have spe- cial architectural beauties of their own that can best be set off by experienced landscape gardeners. Even books upon landscape gardening are written by those whose experience runs to the large plantings, and their suggestions and plans are too large for the average home owner.
The principles of proper planting are not hard to master. The shrubs should be massed into corners and borders, and a selection made differing in height so that all of them can be seen and intermingle in effect, with their bloom coming at different seasons so that they are
always interesting. You can easily choose this graduation from the lists referred to. Speci- men trees or shrubs should be planted sparingly, and with plenty of “elbow room” so that their beauty can be fully appreciated.
When shrubs get old and become unsightly or course they should be grubbed out and replaced by new ones of slender willowy growth. The modern practice is to allow about three feet for each shrub. The tendency is to crowd the shrubs for a denser, more pleasing ef- fect. They will thrive just as well but require pruning from time to time. Landscape gar- deners are generally planting a border of summer flowering perennials in front of each plan- ting of shrubs to cover their stems, and also to carry the color attraction after the shrub it- self has lost its flowers. The perennial that was once grown “in the flower garden” is now a legitimate part of every landscape planting.
One may have an “elegant house” but it is impossible to have a Beautiful Home that is not surrounded in some degree with the verdure of nature. No matter how substantial or how costly, no building is complete until it is set in a frame of God’s own making. Many an old and unsightly building is made beautiful by. the trees and foliage with which it is surrounded.
No other investment possible for a man to make will bring the pleasure that will spring into his heart at the sight of his home surrounded with lovely shrubs and trees, and in addi- tion to its dividends of satisfaction such plantings have an economic value of as great pro- portion. Your new house may be all that you can ask for, the niftiest on the street, but you must know that in a few years nicer and newer ones will overshadow it. If you let nature help you, you need fear no rivals. The newcomers must wait until they can grow surround.
ings as lovely as yours to catch up with you. A house buried in the splendor of shrubs, trees and flowers will always sell at a big percentage above the same house unadorned, it will even rent higher, and it is no longer a novelty to find the landlord looking for a tenant extolling this feature of his premises. Every season you let planting go by is a loss.
There are many fruit trees that give as good decorative effects in the garden as purely ornamental trees, and we have a complete selection of all the leading varieties for this plant- ing from which plantings can be made and will send our regular catalogue upon request.
Is planting worth while? A house with no trees to shelter it or shrubs to clothe it. See the following picture.
Same place as preceding picture—but about three years later. Was planting worth while?
For the Village and Farm A Simple and Beautiful Planting
The planting shown here is especially adapted to homes placed well back from the street and ample width to set it off with a fair lawn. Elaborate plant- ings are not necessary in order to make a greatly improved appearance to the home and this picture is the best evidence of it you could get.
The porch group on the left hand side consists of only three Barberry Thunbergii (2); six Spirea Thunbergii (3) (3); six Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora (4) (4); two Boston Ivy (5) (5). This planting is almost complete in itself.
The right hand side of this planting consists of only nine Barberry Thunbergii (1) (1), on account of a broad walk extending next the porch. In case there is no side entrance, the doubling of the left hand group would make a symetrical and beautiful planting.

A NICE CITY HOME
With Inexpensive Planting
This style of planting for a city residential streev is within the means of anyone, adds greatly to the value of the property, and the cost is very low. See what we can do for you.
The porch, which is the out door home of the family dur- ing the summer, is also the chief point of interest when prop- erly planted as this one is, with sixteen Thunbergii Barberry at (2) and (5), two Hydrangea P. UG. at the steps’ ends (3) (4), a Spirea Thunbergii at (6) and a Spirea Van Houttei at (7), with a Scarlet Trumpet Honeysuckle or Clematis Pani- culata for afternoon shade (1).
On the left side is shown a lawn background corner that is available very many places, a Persian Lilac or a Smoke Tree at (7), surrounded by four Hydrangea P. G. grouped in front at (10). This makes a splendid combination because the Lilac or Smoke Tree will bloom early in the summer and the Hydrangea about the last flower of the fall.
On the right hand side of the house the Gardener has placed an interesting group of Persian Lilac and three Spirea Van Houttei (9).
A bed of Funkia, Day Lilies, are often used for a narrow foundation covering as indicated at (11) where shrubs would grow too large. These can be furnished in sufficient quantity to make a good bed the second year.

A LOVELY HOME On a Small Lot
The landscape gardener in designing this plan, planted twelve Spirea Van Houttei (2) (2) along foundation of the front porch. If you did not care for the ear.y bloom of white, Rosa Rugosa or Snowberry would prove interesting and effective at about the same cost.
Boston Ivy or Englemann’s Ivy, which has a smaller leaf and more dense foliage is a very desir- able addition to Stucco or cement houses. Two were used here (1).
The clump of ten Clethra (Sweet Pepper Bush) each side of the walk is a delightful little group of shrubs. For bungalows and one-story places a similar group of Deutzias (Lemoine or Gracillis) would be available at the same price.
Along the side of the entrance steps there was planted five Indian Currants, a low shrub that is easy to keep within bounds.
> The Specimen Tea’s Weeping Mulberry is used here with splendid effect, and is largely planted. The five specimen trees (6) are largely a matter of individual choice, and the reader is referred to the brief descriptions of suitable ones from the list at the back of the booklet, taking care to select those which will not too quickly overrun the space assigned taem,.

An Old Fashioned Home Still Modern and Attractive
This planting list aptly shows the joys and pleas- ure one can derive from Nature. Without a setting of trees and shrubs a house is merely such, but with proper planting, no matter how humble the place, everyone knows that it is a home.
This old-fashioned house was surrounded by a couple of beds of perennials (4) which probably antidate the shrub- bery but is a feature worth building at any time.
The porch is screened in at the end with the useful Aristolocia, or Dutchman’s Pipe, with its large closely inter- woven leaves at (1) and Boston Ivy is seen at (2).
The dominant flower that was in bloom when the photo was taken is the Arboresens Hydrangea at (3), which makes a low growing shrub of great beauty in bloom.
Buddleia or Butterfly Bush, Calycanthus, Ribes, the Flow- ering Currants or some of Spirea families are recommended for massing along the walk at (5), while along the walk running in front of the main part of the house at (7) is screened by Barberry Thunbergii. The specimen trees are indicated by (8) (9) of which rather too many were planted. and a Tea’s Weeping Mulberry at (11). Hall’s Japanese Honeysuckle is suggested as a very desirable vine for the screening of back fences and alleyways.

A COLONIAL HOUSE Made Modern
This house may have been built a hundred years ago—it does not matter as to the style of architec- ture used, each and every one can be made more beautiful by the proper ornamental planting.
To the right of the entrance of the Colonial house is a very pleasing combination of plants that could be used to good advantage in many places. At (9) three Buddleia But- terfly Bushes have been placed. This plant has a beautiful lilac-like bloom from July to September. At (10) are six Lemoine’s Deutzia, a shrub with white flower panicles; six Spirea Van Houttei are placed at the corner (11). ‘This is one of the most beautiful shrubs and very largely grown. Near the corner of the house (12) is a Clematis, Jackmanni, an attractive vine with brilliant flowers.
To the left of the entrance the designer of this planting has placed three Buddleia Butterfly Bushes (1), six Lemoine’s Deutzia (2), seven Lemoine’s Deutzia (3). Three of the fragrant blooming Common Lilacs are placed in the recess made by the sun parlor (4).
The attractive Purple Fringe or Smoke Tree (5) makes a beautiful central point of interest to the planting. Seven Japanese Barberries, a shrub which is very extensively used in landscape work, are planted at (6). The back corner plant- ing is formed with five Spirea Van Houttei (7), and five Iris and five Hardy Phlox at (8).

A SUBURBAN DELIGHT Shrubs Make Fine Homes
No matter what the architectural plan of the house is, it is bare, cold and hardly suited for habi- tation in the good old summer time until adorned with shrubs. This place shows well the advantage of mass planting.
This foundation planting has a succession of blooms from April to July. At each end of the steps (1) the landscape gardener has placed a Forsythia, Fortune’s Golden Bell, one of the earliest of shrubs to bloom when in April it is covered with golden bell-like flowers before the leaves appear. The base of these is covered with Barberry Thunbergii (2). The Tamarisk (4) shows forth its pink feathery flowers from May to July. A very handsome and decorative shrub, the Rhodo- typus, White Kerria, has been planted at the corner of the house (5). In May and June its delicate white flowers bloom and are followed by shining black fruit which stays through- out the fall. At (3) has been planted Eva Rathke Weigelias which with their beautiful foliage and deep crimson flowers in June and July add much to the planting.
PLANTING LIST—No. 1. Forsythia, Fortune’s Golden Bell; No. 2. Barberry Thunbergii; No. 3. Weigelia, Eva Rathke; No. 4. Tamarix Gallica; No. 5. Rhodotypos, White Kerria; No. 6. Caragana, Pea Shrub; No. 7. Iris, Japanese and Ger- man; No. 8. Hybrid Perpetual Roses; No. 9. American Elm; No. 10. Norway Maple.
A Bungalow Adorned The Value of Mass Planting
Although this bungalow is well massed in shrub- bery which fully doubles its pleasure value, the planting is comparatively simple.
The foundation planting around the front of the plazza is a row of five Spirea Van Houttei with four more for the corner mass. If the walls are brick two Boston Ivy as shown in the picture will add much to the effect.
At the street the landscape gardener has planted a Jap- anese Barberry hedge (5), eighteen inches apart, and a clump of five Snowberries or Indian Currants at the en- trance walk (6).
On the right hand side of the entrance two clumps of the Snowberry (6) are used, with the Barberry hedge connecting them.
To make a good division clump on a narrow strip of lawn the design at the right of the house is a good one. Two Roses of Sharon (4) are met by a group of eight Indian Currants.
For the corner ornament to the extreme left the designer of the planting placed a group of five Rhodotypos or White Kerria (8) supported on the right by the Barberry and back along the line with a very interesting group of five Tamarix.

A SUBURBAN HOME Where Forest Trees Help
The Landscape Gardener in drawing these plans treated the whole lot as a park, but unfortunately the back yard plantings do not show. Some people, how- ever, prefer to have a vegetable garden in the back yard which in this case would not alter the pleasing appearance.
The clumps of shrubs in the corners of the yard consisting of two Thunbergii Barberries (2) (2), one Spirea Van Houttei (5) and four Spirea Argutas (7) can be used almost any- where. The Thunbergii Barberries at the front of the walk (2) (2) are largely planted.
The Tea’s Weeping Mulberry at (17) is as good a speci- men as can be placed in a small yard. They are interesting and do not interfere with the view of the house or from the window. If the walk is in the center of the yard as in this case you will want two.
The right hand foundation planting, seven Thunbergii Bar- berry (2); three Van Houttei Spireas (6); four Thunbergii Barberry (11); two Hydrangea P. G. (9) (9).
On the left hand side the foundation planting consists of a group of four Thunbergii Barberry (2) and (2) and three Van Houttei Spireas (6).
The clump dividing the front and rear yard consisting of three Spirea Van Houttei (6), three Spirea Argutas (8) (8) (8), and four Barberries (2) (2) is available for many places.

A MASSIVE HOUSE
Turned Into a Home
This would be a bare and barn like place if the help of the landscape gardener had not been invoked to make it inviting and lovely. No class of houses demand the planting of shrubbery as strongly as those of cement and stone.
This planting illustrates the superiority of the mass plan of planting and the beauty of an open lawn.
Vines add greatly to the appearance of stucco homes. On this home (1) Ampelopsis, Englemann’s Ivy, has been used. The foundation planting is a very pleasing one, and consists of Philadelphus, Lemoine’s Erect Syringa (5) with its sweet- scented flowers in June; Indian Currant (4), and Barberry Thunbergii (3). Can be replaced by other shrubs of the same class if desired. ‘The base of the shrubs in this founda- tion planting is covered by a border of Hardy Phlox which has a wealth of beautiful bloom July-October. The planting opposite the steps has the same pleasing combination of plants with a Paper Birch with its beautiful white bark to contrast with the foliage of the shrubbery.

A SUBSTANTIAL HOME For Well-to-do People
Unfortunately the picture shows but a small part of the planting that was done around this home, but the effect of the clump of three Spirea Van Houttei (5) at the right of the entrance, supported by six Thunbergii Barberries (3), may give you an idea for your own home. Such a group of nine plants would cost a moderate sum.
On the left hand side the two groups of Spirea Van Houttei (5) was flanked by a group of Rosa Rugosa Rubra (6) and the corner filled with a Philadelphus Coronarius (7). This clump of nineteen plants with a sketch for proper plant- ing in the place you have for them is a desirable group.
Along the north side of this porch there is a splendid foundation planting—Philadelphus Lemoine’s Erect Syringa (4), two Spirea Van Houttei groups (5) (5) and a border of Rosa Rugosa Rubra (6) requiring plants to cover a twenty foot apace.
In front of the main building there is a very simple founda- tion planting of three Spirea Van Houttei (5) surrounded by 13 plants of the low growing Thunbergii Barberry.

A COMPLETE CATALOGUE
N THE following pages of this booklet there is given a complete catalogue of the Trees, Shrubs, and Perennials usually planted in the different parts of the United States, listed under their normal size at maturity, and by a system of key letters their habits, uses,
hardiness, and general qualities are given within a very small space.
There is no nursery catalogue known which lists so many varieties, because the catalogue is the sales agent of the nurseryman, and he cannot afford to catalogue anything that is not hardy, or in demand, in his ter- ritory, and it is no discredit to the nurseryman but a safeguard to his cus- tomers that should always be taken into consideration in making your planting list.
If you will study this catalogue in connection with the key letters, which are the most important part of it, as the other description is to be found in any catalogue, you have at your command a practical encyclo- pedia of the uses to which the Ornamental Trees and Shrubs of America can best be put.
SOT CED UO US ivi iS
There are so many elements entering into the success of a plant or tree that in making a selection we recommend that our customers pay particular attention to the key letters included in each of these descriptions, and make selections that will conform to the location and naturo of the ground. i: % (a)—Trees for city street, road or wide avenue; (b)—Trees for driveways through lawn and parks; (c)—Quick growing trees for street; (d)—-Lawn trees; (f)—Trees for sea shore planting; (g)—Trees for moist locations; (h)—For dry lo- cations; (i)—For dry knolls of poor soil; (j)—-Massing; (k)—-Very hardy; (1)—-Requires sheltered position; (m)—Re quires shelter until established.
