ow that planting time has 

 come, have you consid- 

 ered what you should 

 plant to beavitify your 

 grovmds ? To get the best 

 results in landscape architecture 

 requires a liberal use of individual 

 specimens tha.t a.re certa.ir\ to 

 evince their characteristic beau- 

 ties. Such investments prove 

 permanent and materially en- 

 hance the value of your property. 

 Moreover, good plants are sure 

 to live, and better effects can be 

 produced with smaller quanti- 

 ties. Many of our specimens are 

 sold at very low prices, consider- 

 ing the cost of production, and our 

 customers get better bargains than 

 purchasers of inferior plants at 

 lower prices. Our entire stock has 

 been personally selected from 

 the finest nurseries and gardens 

 at home and abroad, has been 

 carefully developed and ac- 

 climated and is now the most 

 extensive collection of fine 

 specimens in existence.
