on “The Value of Design Which
Provides Year Rouncj Beauty” em
phasizing thM you should work
out a design on paper lor best re-
sults. Start with the entrance to
your home which Is your focal
point ,and continue with back yard
Some things not to do are empha
sizing corners and planting too
many pointed evergreens in your
yard.
Mrs Robert Walker spoke on
“flowering Shrubs and Trees for
Accent Points.” Mrs. Walker stat-
ed you mifst have a focal point to
avoid monotony. Color in shrubs
and trees give accent points, ahd
she named numerous plants that
can be used in this area. Combine
trees and shrubs hccording to col-
or to avoid a spotted look, also
choose them according to texture.
She also presented the idea ol a
portable garden to be moved
1 interest-1
around your yard for an
ing accent point.
Mrs. Clyde Wood spoke on
“Color and Design In the Garden”
stressing the choice of color to suit
your individuality. She si/fegfested
a red garden used against-a white
fence, or a blue garden with yel-
low for contrast. Rink gardens are
romantic and lovely against a
grey stone or slate background.
She also said evergreens are al-
ways good as background tor any
color Mrs. Wood quoted from the
book "Color in the Garden" l^y
Norman Taylor several times and
