Good Neighbors' Consult
On Landscape Plans

The good neighbor policy should
extend to the landscaping.
What you do in the front or
back of your house may be strict
ly your own business. Chances are,
however, you can assure attrac-
tiveness of the home grounds and
make suburban living even more
gracious if you consult with your
neighbors on planting plans.
Such is the advice of R.L.Smith,
field representative of the Davey
Tree Expert Co., who points out
the people next door may even
let you plant a tree on their pro-
perty that will throw desired
shade on your home.
Many weekend gardeners can't
resist the urge to place shrubs
along the lot line. Emphasizing
lot lines merely makes the pro-
perty seem smaller, as a rule. If
paintings can be avoided forward
of the building line, each neighbor
will enjoy full sweep of lawn.
In planting trees, keystones OF
the landscape, your favorite loca-
tions may be detriments to your
neighbor's views. On the other
hand, since the sun is no respect
er of property lines, friend neigh
Dor may reap all the benefits OF
your paintings. 1t is essential your
landscaping be modified to suit

nylon, orion, dacron, acrilan, dy-
nel,and vicara are the eight man.
made fbers in use today. Each
has its own properties, advantag-
es, and limitations. Did you
know that:
Most synthetic fabrics tend to
ravel and fray when you work
with them? Be sure to have an
ample seam allowance and to
treat the seams so that they won't
fray. Try pinking, overcasting,
etc. on samples of fabric to see
what will work best with your
own fabric. In some phases, you
may want French seams.
It's hard to do a neat job of set
ting in sleeves in the newer SYM
thetic fabrics. When you're choos-
ing a pattern, look for one that
has simple lines. Raglan or XII
mono-type sleeves are usually
best. It's hard to do neat job
of fancy details.
Nylon can be heat set to have
permanent pleats; orion, dacron,
and acrilan can have durable
pleats which should last through
to IL washings.
If you want pleats in nylon,
you had better have It done pro-
fessionally or buy pleated mater
ial. Dacron, too, is difficult to
pleat by home methods. Fabrics
made of orion, however, can us
ually be creased or pleated satis-
factorily with a steam iron. These
creases should stay through sew
eral washings and can be pressed
out, too, with a steam iron.
To get the advantages of the
miracle" fabrics, you need al
most 90 percent of the fiber in the
fabric. For example 10 percent

some properties of nylon, but
would not give you permanent
pleats unless the other zbers can
also be pleated.
