Show Special Landscaping Adds to City's Beautification Your co-chairmen of the Paro-wan Paro-wan City Beautification committee commit-tee note with pride, the efforts being made in every section of town to clean up lots, sidewalks, useless fences, buildings and junk. This week a special tribute goes to the Rodney Adams family fam-ily for the outstanding clean-up job on their grandfather Adams' property. This stately and beautiful beau-tiful old home once again has the neat setting to enhance its attractiveness. We are quite aware in pointing point-ing out attractive landscapes, that scores of deserving homes are, as yet unmentioned. Be patient pa-tient dear friends. Your beautiful beau-tiful surroundings are their own reward, for you and for the inspiration in-spiration of every passerby. This week we gladly pay tribute trib-ute to four unusual, novelty landscapes, land-scapes, where imagination and ingenuity, plus hard wark, have created enchanting effects. 1. The "sunken garden" at the Alma and Beulah Jones home at 400 North and 300 West, all terraced with flagstones, where flowers bloom In their special groupings from earliest spring to the last fall chrysanthemums. You just wouldn't believe what has been done to beautify this natural hollow." 2. At the Verda B. Orton home across the street, you will be intrigued with the clever Dutch windmill with its lacy white arms. At the end of the south drive is the cutest wishing well with its bucket and windlass and sturdy ceramic dwarfs. Mrs. Orton gathered the colored rock for both creations and did the concrete work herself. 3. Leonard and Evelyn Orton have created another clever landscape land-scape on their 300 West and Center Cen-ter Street home. Their roomy patio, pa-tio, group plantings around shady sha-dy trees, combined with driftwood, drift-wood, attractive redwood fences, the neatly painted red and green tea kettles filled with flowering plants, perch jauntily on the west fence railing. Very novel and clever Mrs. Orton. 4.. If you haven't exclaimed over the unusual landscaping at the Max and Jean Hendrickson home on 200 North, do ride by and enjoy seeing some really clever ideas in operation. There is the wishing well, the ferris wheel planters, the neat white fence on the east plus a higher white lattice pattern on the north The circular rose colored planters filled with gay flowers flow-ers mark the east and west property prop-erty lines. The whole effect Is a joy to behold. |
