SEPTEMBER'S definitely a planting month in these parts. And any
homeowner (or would-be home-owner) who takes in the Parade .of Homes will quickly notice the difference between planned and bare yards. The other day at the Jerome Hammermanns' lovely home on Willow Spring Rd. in Williams Creek 1 sew landscaping just popping with ideas. Ideas, too, that are useful for smaller homes as well. The Hammermanns are convinced, for one thing, that there are no bargains in landscaping. That “you get just what you pay for.” Mr. Hammermann, pointing to the low yews in front of the house, mentioned they were some 10 or 12 vears old before they were even planted there. But
their sturdy slow growth ..1akes them a superior ' landscape plant. es" 8 =
THE HAMMERMANNS talked dver their ideas with a local nurseryman. They knew they didn't want too many up and down lines for their lowlying limestone ranch house. They didn’t want stiffly formal planting. Their conferences netted the delightfully planted yard they enjoy caring for. At the front door, instead of a stiffly balanced tall evergreen on either side, a pyramidal tree to the West is balanced artistically with a group of low growing yews to the east. Harsh bare outlines of house corners are softened with flowering crabs, flower-filled in spring, decked with colored fruit in fall. Dwarf yews across the front get no formal barbering but a feather trim to preserve their graceful appearance.
” » » EVEN ACROSS the usually difficult north side, varied
plantings delight the eye. Upright yews fill a narrow space where shrubs must not overhang the sidewalk. Myrtle ‘ground cover underneath keeps soil in place. Nearby in complete shade, too jetbead or °white- kerria thrives with white flowers in spring, jet black fruits in winter, Sul on the shady north side

a corner of all green and white is filled with dogwood, and a background of mock orange with fragrant August day lilies (funkia) growing underneath. A wide bank of myrtle completes this and other spots in the yard where grass would be difficult to grow or mow. Other features are the . “Christmas tree hedge” along the driveway, flowering shrubs in variety along the eastern lot line and a colorful combination at the foot of the entrance drive. Here gray green Pfitzer junipers ‘lead the eye upward to red barberry which,in turn is climaxed with a purple leaved plum.
Near the house Mentor bar-
berry delights the Hammermanns because in the fall “the leaves turn just the brown of the house trim.” Two giant blue spruces, a couple of pin oaks and a soft maple complete the front yard. All the flowering shrubs get rotted cow manure and bone meal once a year. Trees are fertilized, too. Otherwise weeding and mulching the beds plus a minimum of pruning provides all necessary care. Plans drawn by H. J. Schnitzious, New Augusta Nursery.
