Good planning will continue to pay handsome divi dends through out the life of your plants and be much more enjoyable to you as a home- owner. Don’t forget maintenance pro blems — gardening help is scarce. Whatever you build or plant, you should be prepared to weed, water, mow, prune, fer tilize, spray, or care for in some other manner. Here are some labor-saving ideas: Select shrubs for foundation planting that doesn’t require a lot of pruning, spraying and watering. We have evergreen shrubs that fit all size ranges. Ground covers may be used on steep areas to eliminate the bother and danger of mowing such areas. They are also use ful in extremely shady places where grass survival is a pro blem. A fence or wall in some cases may be substituted for hedges, cutting down maintenance. And in the don’t department: Don’t plant anything you can’t care for — skip the rose garden if you can’t spray weekly for insect and disease control; don’t plant a grass that requires fre quent mowing and other ma nagement practices, if your yard time is limited. Put some thought into your landscape planning. A simple design well kept is much more attractive than heavily planted grounds that don’t get necessary care.- TRANSFERS OF REALTY Newberry No. 1: J. E.
