Whether you do it yourself, or enlist expert aid, it’s the plan that’s all important in land scaping. It’s easier to correct errors with an eraser than with a shovel. First, lay out a scale drawing of the space to be de signed, cut pieces of paper to scale, corresponding with the mature size of the plants you wish to grow. Move the pieces of paper around until you ere ate the most pleasing effect, then glue them in place. Interesting, varied landscap ing will accent the architectural lines of your home.

THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1967 Remember to keep any planting under long picture windows low, and to add height and softness to your home, place a flowering' tree a few feet from the house, not against it. Os course, all the landscaping in the world won’t make a dif ference if your lawn is spotty or thin. A thick, luxurious lawn provides the perfect setting for landscaping and Spring is the best time to plant one. Selecting the right kind of seed is of prime importance for your lawn. Merion Kentucky Bluegrass, a thick dark green grass, will adapt itself to almost any type of soil in the cool tem perate zone. Merion has deeper roots, which means less water ing. And it crowds out weeds and crabgrass to insure a smooth, thick lawn. Plant a new lawn and land scape this year, and you shall profit —not only from the in creased value of your home, but also from the more at tracti”° sight cf '.-ell-planned, blooming surroundings.
