Tall shrubs and evergreens used in conventional planting grow too high for these low houses, mak- ing them seem lower, and eventual- ly hiding them from view and shut- ting the sunshine and view out, Landscaping should frame the house and emphasize its good points. A low house should never be dwarfed by tall plants around it; and a small house should not be made to seem smaller. Only low plants should be used in fronts of low modern houses, and the plant- ing should emphasize the horizon. tal line, which has the effect of mak- ing the house appear wider. These effects can be well achieved by annual flowers; and the fashion for flowers in the front yard is spreading rapidly. An example of the effect which they produce is given in the illustration.

The line where house wall meets the ground is planted with a border ot annual chrysanthemums, grow- ing two feet tall, bearing single flowers of richly varied orange, brown, white and yellow flowers, Edging this border is a row of ageratum, one of the best sources of blue tones for lower borders, There are many other combinations which could be used in a similar way to produce a pleasing effect, in harmony with the colors of house wall and roof. In planting near mod- ern houses simple color schemes, two, not over three, harmonious colors, are usually considered t. Any of the sun-loving annuals which grow to a suitable height may be used on the east, west and south sides of houses; but on the north varieties which are known to en- dure shade must be chosen, important that the colors used in borders around the house shall har- monize with the house colors, re. peating them, or forming a harmo- nious contrast of complementary colors, "READY FOR WORK Dresses Time for those smart clas loved by thousands of mot up to sun-down.
