w arms Against
Lawn JungIes

Front lawns, chopped up by
too many flower beds and
clumps of shrubbery may look
like jungles, warns Victor H,
Ries, extension floriculturist,
Ohio State University.
He advises against overplant-
ing. A few kinds of shrubs that
provide variety are more desir-
able than many different kinds.
Several of the same kind togeth-
er usually look better than one
of each placed here and there.
An unbroken lawn of grass is
one of the first requisites Of good
landscaping, the specialist points
out. Flowers have a place in the
scheme of things but they should
be used in a flower garden set
aside for the purpose. They can
be planted in front of shrubbery
masses and borders or grown in
the vegetable garden for cui
flowers.
