Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 284, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 December 1914 — House Beds. [ARTICLE]

House Beds.

Every building should have a space for plants left close to the foundation. No cement pr other walks should be allowed within three feet if conditions will allow, and to new places this Is always possible. The angle formed by ground and building should be filled with plants apd an occasional vine should clamber over a corner or along a porch. The house should appear to rise out of a mass of shrubs and plants, as a gem rises above Its setting in Jewelry. No place has a proper finish without such provision for embellishment.
