Front Yard Flower Beds Beautify Modern Houses When a new home has been built' without a basement, so that the floor is just a step above ground level, a different type of planting is required from the conventional "foundation planting." The purpose of a foundation plant ing, which consists of a belt of shrubs or evergreens along the foundation line, is to "tie the house to the ground." It raises a green belt to the level of the floor, in ef fect bringing the house lower. With the low-set new homes, now so numerous, the lawn provides the "green belt, since it is so close to the floor level. There is no room for a foundation planting. If one is made, it will not improve the ap pearance of the house, since it will make the house, already low enough, seem lower and the shrubs and ev ergreens will be likely soon to grow sc tall as to obscure the windows. Keep tall trees, shrubs and ev ergreens at a distance from small low modern houses. Plant flowers about them, to provide an attrac tive frame for their simple design. In the illustration is shown a door yard garden, of the fashion which is rapidly spreading over the coun try. The entrance walk, instead of dividing the front lawn, is placed at one side of the lot, and leads to a side entrance to the front porch. This leaves the lawn open, and increases its apparent size. Beds of flowers are planted at the angle of the walk. Low growing flowers are used, in pink, blue and white. Dwarf phlox should be sown directly in the gar den, where it will remain in flower all summer, covering the ground like a carpet, with its attractive florets. Pompon asters grow in low bushes, with many branches, with a flower at the end of each branch. They make excellent cut flowers, and the flowers should be cut be fore they fade, to prolong the blooming period. Small evergreens are used tt flank the porch entrance. Thes must be kept low by annual shear ing. In a house of this design n shrubbery whatever should be usee in front, and no tall trees or shrubf near the house. and Mrs. John Barkhurst.
