Mrs. Clarence Fisher and M s.

including the driveway; the sur
face area leading to the backyard
clothesline and other buildings,
and the outdoor living room in
cluding a patio for summing and
a barbecue pit.
Don't try to do it all at once,
they advised. Take it step by
step, probably over a couple of
years" The doorway to the home
should not be obscured by high
shrubbery and too large trees in
front will tend to block out the
home. Bulbs can be planted be-
tween the main shrubbery. Assist

Mrs. William White.
