Privacy, Beauty In Trees, Trees and shrubs can _ be combined to provide an idea) atmosphere for relaxation. A hedge provides full privacy cut- ting off the street view. With a flowering tree and _ shrubs ene has a restful, green-walled garden of considerable beauty. One of the most common complaints of families living in housing developments is_ that "they have no privacy" accord- ing to studies by the Canadian Association of Nurserymen. The complaint is most com- mon in areas of medium-cost housing, but also is present to considerable degree in many so-called exclusive develop | ments. Modern builders are paying) far more attention to privacy | than in former years of hous- |; ing shortage when '"shelter"} was practically their foremost consideration. Landscaping provides the most practical as well as the least costly means of assur- ing privacy to the family where homes are close io gether. Landscape nurserymen say that there are two main ways of achieving the amount of privacy desired by planting trees and shrubs. One method is by planting a solid hedge, and the other is by planting individual trees and shrubs to shut oif cervain views from neighboring proper- ty. Plants also are used to screen any undesirable views from your garden area. Gar- den or outdoor living requires plantings which make the liv- ing area more private for fam- ily recreation and entertaining. A hedge can be of solid plant growth through which no one can look. It can even be im- penetrable if one desires it, de- pending on the choice of plant materials available at any nursery. Or the hedge can be Shrubs beauty. Roses can make a love- ly open hedge. One thing to re- member is io choose plants which will, at maturity, be at the height you desire. Some plants grow low and others high. Any established nursery- man can advise. Often a family desires only to block off. one or two un- desirable views of neighbor's property. It might be the back of a garage or garbage dispos- al, clothes lines, unsightly chil- dren's play space, or even a porch which looks down upon your yard. A few evergreen shrubs or trees can block off such views without seeming to. All the home owner has to do |is place the plants between the ; area to be shui off and his own | house, just inside the boundar- jies of his Property.

One can spend little, or much, depend- ing on his family budget re- quirements and still surround himself and his family with a lovely garden aimosphere. It is ridiculous for anyone to feel that he cannot have a well-landscaped property fer with a little effort he can create real beauty. The recent great popularity of 'garden living' and outdoor entertain- ing amidst attractive surround- ings is available to every fam- ily who wishes to enjoy it. One does not have to sur- round himself with the larger or more exotic and costly plants. He can accomplish much with native evergreens and deciduous plants that can be purchased for small amounts. Special plants can then be added a few at a time. A large variety ef beautiful flowering shrubs that cost little and give exquisite results are on display at the established nurseries. One also can use plentifully the annual plants that are available from nurs- eries from about April until September or later, including gorgeous chrysanthemums and other perennials that will flow- er from year to year.
