Too many people overlook the fact that landscape work is as important and permanent as the houses in which they live. They often spare no expense as regards the actual construction con-struction or arrangement o f their houses, yet sometimes appear nig-garly nig-garly when it comes to the beautifi-eation beautifi-eation of ti e home grounds. A better bet-ter home environment, conducive of greater satisfaction with home life, would result, says this specialist,' if landscaping were given more consideration con-sideration in horn .'-making. A special spec-ial effort to save 'expense in the beau-tifieation beau-tifieation of home surroundings, he warns, may ultimately ruftilt in a financial fi-nancial and moral loss. Many attempts to improve home grounds have failed, Hansen asserts, because of lack of information on wh;"-t to plant, how to plant it, and how to arrange the landscaping so as to insure its becoming a pleasure to the eye. Still another reason for failure, he says, is that paintings are arranged in a way to make maintenance mainte-nance both difficult and expensive. In order to clarify certain elemental principles of lands-cape gardening and to make helpful suggestions as to how rural homes and communities communi-ties may he beautified.
