Principles of Planting on the Home Grounds

(T is not absolutely necessary to employ a professional landscape architect to land- scape your home grounds. Of course for

those who can afford this additional expense it is no doubt the best way. On the other hand there is an immense measure of satisfaction to be derived from a piece of work you’ yourself have laid out and planted. It is the object of this article to discuss briefly the principal things to be taken into consideration in land- scaping the home grounds of moderate extent and to offer suggestions as to varieties and locations of groups of perennials, shrubs and ‘bulbs which have been found most satisfactory in central and northern United States.

THE LAWN ; E, VERY effort toward home ground beautifica- tion must fail for lack of a good lawn. It is the setting for all else. :

So many times the lawn is underlaid with poor dirt which has been taken out of the cellar of the house. The result is the growth of grass is weak and patchy. The cure is to buy a “complete fertilizer’ with a high per- centage of nitrogen. Scatter this over the lawn in the spring at the rate of one pound to every twenty-five or thirty square feet. Repeat later on in the summer if the lawn has not shown sufficient improvement.

The close clipping the lawn gets during its entire growing season prevents the production of seed which is Nature’s way of keeping a good stand of grass. Every’ spring a little grass seed should be scattered over the lawn. This should be done while the ground is still freezing and thawing. A good grass seed mix- ture is best for this purpose,

HARDY FLOWERING SHRUBS A VOID the use of too many flower beds except in their proper place. Nothing does more to destroy a fine piece of landscape work than geometrical flower beds scattered about the lawn.

The hardy flowering shrub is one of the best materials for all plantings up to ten or twelve feet in height. They live for a great many years, produce the same flowering effect you get from annual plants and if you leave home for a month they are even more beautiful when you return.

FOUNDATION PLANTINGS N starting to landscape the home grounds invariably the first place to receive treatment is the foundation of the house. This is the most prominent place and there always seems to be a need of some sort of planting to connect up the house with the grounds and make it a nat- ural part of the whole scene. The first place

to receive consideration should be the main

entrance.

A Spiraea Van Houtte planted on either side of the entrance is a foundation planting well started. Work from this point around the house. It is not desirable always to cover up all of the foundation unless it is made of some unattractive material such as cement blocks.

Naturally it takes a knowledge of shrub varie- ties, character of growth, height, color and time of flowering to work out intelligently such a foundation planting. It is to furnish this type of information that groups particularly suited for special locations have been drawn up as illustrated on the next page. In a majority of cases they can be used just as arranged, a little change in the general shape of the group will fit them to any location.

A house built close out on the street would be “overdone” if group 3 were used; group 4 would be more suitable under such conditions. Some desire plantings which grow rather tall, others low groups of shrubs. Group 8 is a planting that will attain a height of six to eight feet; group 10 only half that height.

Where the steps are at the side only half of one of the porch plantings could be used. One of the main things in the suggestive plantings for the foundation of the porch and corners of the house is to show what varieties of shrubs work well together and what distance apart they should be planted. Often there is a long straight stretch along the side of the house which is always best broken up by a small mass planting of shrubs. such as Group 5, for in- stance. ©

Always plant in clumps and never plant in straight lines. The secret of naturally attrac- tive grounds is a natural grouping or placing of shrubbery in masses with open stretches of lawn between. That is why a star shaped flower bed always strikes a discordant note in well arranged grounds.

A selection and arrangement of shrubs for a foundation planting at the corner of the house. The Pink Weigelia continues to bloom during most of the summer. These shrubs will grow well even if considerably shaded but must have direct sunlight a portion of the day. The Bridal Wreath used in the center of this planting is one of the best of all the flowering shrubs. It is always hardy, a vigorous grower and a prc- fuse bloomer.

All the varieties used in this combination are attractive bloomers. Following the bloom the Snowberry, High Bush Cranberry, and Barberry produce fruits which cling to the plants the greater part of the winter. Short sprays of these berries are often used for table and fire- place decorations. The group will stand con- siderable shade, altho doing best with at least a half day of direct sunlight.

PLANTING ON HOME GROUNDS — Concluded from page 3. ENTRANCE PLANTINGS

EXT to the entrance of the house one of the

most important places requiring plantings of shrubbery is about the entrances of walks and drives. In entering the grounds you begin to form your opinion of the whole place as soon as you reach the gate.

A walk leading to the front steps is always a prominent feature and a planting on both sides of the outside gate adds greatly to the natural- ness and beauty of the entrance.

Usually low varieties of shrubbery are most desirable for this location but sometimes a mass of medium height plants seems more desirable according to the location, in which case a group such as Group 8 can be substituted for Group 10, the low planting suggested for this location.

SCREEN PLANTINGS [N almost every grounds there is a building or view that detracts from, rather than adds to the attractiveness of the whole scene. How easy it is to cover up such a view with one that is pleasing.

The small planting suggested for the side of the house makes an ideal screen when placed in front of a small building. In case of a large building the corner plantings suggested for the corners of the house can be used to advantage, linked together by Group 5. The higher the building the higher the varieties of shrubbery which can be used.

Sometimes a view somewhat in the distance is the objectionable feature, such as a barnyard shed or chicken coop. A tall planting of shrub- bery along the boundary of the grounds will screen this and at the same time provide a delightful variation of flowering plants, some of which will be in bloom every month of the summer. Group | is a suggestion along this line.

This planting also makes an ideal one for the side of the grounds, cutting off the view for a few feet and bringing out and intensifying it at the ends. It is a good plan to screen off another house in the next grounds and at the same time give privacy to your own grounds.

CORNER PLANTINGS

IN “moderate sized places a planting in the

front corners of the grounds is almost a necessity for the best effect. This planting may be of low growing shrubbery and of only a few plants, if the grounds are small.

The entrance plantings in Group 10, for in- stance, might be used in the corners of a small

{ey planting evergreens, dig the holes

larger and deeper than would necessa- rily need to contain the roots and earth- ball. Fill in loose soil under the roots and then place treein hole before cutting the burlap, ifit is burlapped. See that it is one or two inches deeper than it stood in the nursery.

Fill the hole two-thirds full of soil, and then with a sharp knife cut or loosen the burlap and roll back. Do not fill the hole higher than the ground level as this will cause the surface water to flow from instead of tothe plants. If the ground is dry, water copiously during or after planting, but do not tamp wet soil. oS

leaves frequently, but to wet roots is an- other problem. Along foundations plants get only about one-fourth the moisture that open beds do as the house eaves usu- ally shut off a big per cent of the normal rainfall.

Pruning at planting time is not necessary where plants are balled and bur- lapped, being deliverd with a ball of soil without disturbing the roots.

It is a good practice to throw a burlap sack or protection over the tops of ever- greens when planted late or when they show signs of distress.

front yard and no plantings be used about the walk entrance. However, shrubs about the size of those in Group 8 ordinarily are well suited to this location. The back corners of the grounds naturally take higher plantings. They are the background for the whole planting scheme.

THE BIRD’S CORNER PLANTING

A GREAT many people enjoy having birds

about their grounds. Winter species of birds especially cannot make their home in grounds where no provision has been made for feeding them. Blue Jays, for instance, feed on a great variety of winter berries such as bitter sweet, wahoo, sumac, wild grape and dogwood berries.

In the summer, Robins are especially fond of blackberries, raspberries and mulberries. Groups 9 and 12 have a selection of shrubs which provide food for birds the year around. The mulberry tree in Group 12 would make a good place to put bird boxes or to hang pieces of beef suet in the winter. Birds belonging to the Woodpecker family are very fond of beef suet.

HEDGE PLANTS OME locations almost require a hedge of some sort. There are a number of excep- tionally good shrubs that make fine hedges. Of the Privets, Ibota, Amour River and Common Privet are all good while the California Privet should never be planted in north central United

States because of winter killing.

The Rugosa rose makes a natural hedge plant without any pruning except to cut off straggling shoots. The single roses are produced in abundance over a long season. The foliage is very resistant to disease and insect attack.

Probably the best shrub for a low hedge is the Japanese Barberry. It is not attacked by wheat rust. The autumn coloration is as bril- liant as any other shrub used for landscape purposes and the red berries hang on all winter.

VINES

Ne vines are included in the foundation plant-

ing groups. Everyone has his favorites. The greatest effect for the investment can often be realized through the purchase of a few vines for the porch. A couple of Virginia Creeper plants will quickly transform a porch from a gaunt, unattractive structure to one of beauti- ful green.

The Japanese Clematis is naturally a favorite because it is hardy, a vigorous grower and the only one of the porch vines to bloom profusely in the fall. Hall’s Japanese Honeysuckle is

BERBERIS THUNBERGII—Japanese Barberry

BOX-BARBERRY (C) The New Hardy Edging and Dwarf Hedge

A dwarf, upright form of the familiar Berberis Thunbergii; it is perfectly hardy, thriving wherever Berberis Thunbergii grows. It does not carry wheat rust. Box-Barberry lends itself most happily to low edgings for formal gardens, when

set about four inches apart. It also makes a beautiful low hedge when set

6 to 8 inches apart. The foliage is light green, changing in autumn to dazzling

red and yellow. We offer 2-year-old field plants, 10 to 15-inch, each, 50c;

per 100, $40.00. 4-year-old field plants, 18 to 24-inch, bushy, each, 75c; per

NEW RED-LEAVED JAPANESE BARBERRY

It is only once in a lifetime that a really worth-while, outstanding novelty in hardy shrubs is introduced, and in this new Barberry we have such a plant.

-It is similar in all respects to the green-leaved Japanese Barberry which is so popular, but the foliage of this new variety is of a rich, lustrous, bronzy red, similar to the richest red-leaved Japanese Maples. However, unlike these and other colored shrubs in which the coloring fades or disappears entirely as the season advances, this new Barberry becomes more brilliant throughout the sum- mer, and“in the fall its foliage changes to vivid orange, scarlet, and red shades, more brilliant and more effective than in the ordinary Japanese Barberry. In this coloring it is unequaled by any other shrub and is followed by the same brilliant scarlet berries common to the type, which remain on the plant the entire winter.

All that is required to develop its brilliant coloring at all seasons is that it be planted in full exposure to the sun. 2-year, each, $1.00; 3 for $2.80; doz., $10.00; per 100, $75.00. 3-year, each, $2.50; 3 for $7.00; doz., $25.00; per 100, $175.00. We furnish 25 of a size at the 100 rate.

SPIRAEA—Van Houttei (Bridal Wreath)

Vaughan’s Nurseries—Chicago and New York 15

Pruning. Itis very important that the root system and amount of branches balance. No matter how carefully the trees may be dug, a portion of the roots are broken or cut off and the balance that exists is deranged. It is therefore necessary that the branches be pruned. Many people are not aware of this and will plant exactly as received from the nursery. A more fatal error could not be made. Prune the branches of fruit trees 5 to 7 ft. in height with 3 to 5 ft. clear stem back to within 3 or 4 buds of the main stem. Cut back all broken or bruised rootssmoothly to sound wood.

We shall be glad to prune fruit and other trees ready for planting if requested. Tn that case, however, our customers, cannot expect to receive trees that answer our specifications as to height, for the catalogue prices are for trees unpruned.

Spraying. Climatic and other conditions vary so greatly for different localities that we strongly advise our customers to obtain data on what, how and when to spray, and materials to use direct from their own State Experiment Station. All of them publish free bulletins on this subject and can supply information.

When personal selection of stock is made by customers at our Nurseries we always charge according to its value.

RASPBERRY AND BLACKBERRY CULTURE

For home culture, Blackberries should be planted in rows 3 to 4 feet apart and 21% to 3 feet apart in the rows; for commercial culture, rows 8 feet apart. The first year after planting the canes should be cut about 2 inches from the ground, and when grown to be about 18 to 24 inches high, the ends should be pinched off, causing them to branch. All old canes should be cut out after fruiting and the young shocts thinned out, leaving them about 6 to 12 inches apart, and pruned back about one-third. Mulch in late fall.

Raspberry culture is the same as that for Blackberries, except that they may be put closer in the rows if desired, and it is not necessary to tip so severely. The black and purple varieties do not sucker, but send up new shoots from the crown of the plants so the old canes should always be cut out togive strength to the new canes.

‘Ten Commandments’’

Here are the “Ten Commandments of Tree Planting” as given by an eminent horticultural authority. 1. Do not allow roots to be exposed to the sun, drying winds or frost. Prune with a sharp, clean cut any broken or injured roots. - Have the holes large enough to admit all the roots without cramping. Plant in fine loam, enriched with thoroughly decomposed manure. Do not allow any

green, unfermented manure to come in contact with roots. Spread out the roots in their natural position and work fine loam among them, making it firm and compact. Be ape plant too deep. Let upper roots be set an inch lower than efore. Remove all broken branches and cut back at least one-half of the pre- vious year’s growth of wood. If the seascn lacks the usual rainfall water thoroughly twice a week. - Cultivate. Keep soilin dust mulch—cultivate.
