Meehan Service — personal, individual service — superior because it is the 

 result of sixty years of cumulative experience — is at your command. 



No matter whether your home-grounds are large or 

 limited in area, write us. question us freely. Your

 expert plantsman, who has studied your section, 

 knows its climatic and soil conditions, and will give 

 you practical and helpful suggestions accordingly.

 and without obligation. 



The Meehan Planting Plan for 

 Average Places 



For the ordinary city or suburban lot or for places up 

 to one acre, we have devised a "New Property Data 

 Form,'' on which you can easily give us the inform- 

 ation necessary to an intelligent consideration of your 

 needs. When you write, ask for this form, and upon 

 its return, properly filled out, we will, without cost to 

 you, submit a proposition that will make of your home 

 and grounds a beautiful picture. If this is approved 



by you, we will then submit a detailed list and estimate 

 of cost of the planting material needed to carry it out. 



The Landscape Department 



For properties of more than one acre, or those pre- 

 senting unusual or intricate problems, correspondence 

 should be opened directly with The Landscape De- 

 partment, Thomas Meehan & Sons, Mt. Airy, Pa. 



How About a Personal Call ? 



During January, February and early March several 

 of our Department heads will visit our customers in 

 the States East of the Mississippi River, starting with 

 the Southern States. These visits will be resumed 

 during the summer months. 



If you will write us soon, and say it will be agreeable,

 out expense to you, to call on you while in your
