Hermann Family Transforms Desert Lot Into Show Place
In Waterloo, Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Hermann and family converted a barren two-lot yard into a thriving beauty spot. They planted hedges, arbors, grapevines, and flowering beds, turning sand and weeds into foliage, fruit trees, and vibrant gardens. Their example prompts others to pursue city beautification through effort and taste.

The Hermanns cultivate a thriving yard in Highland, adding a grape arbor over the pump house and a wide range of flowers and vegetables with minimal expense. They rely on a two-horsepower gasoline engine to pump water and run the washing machine, and their efforts have reportedly boosted local property appeal by up to 60 percent.
