Colortype of group of evergreens on the lawn of Mr. J. H. Ottley, North Country Colony, Glen Cove, Long Island, designed by Messrs. H inch man & 

 Pilat, Landscape Architects, New York City. The first two trees on the right are Austrian Pines; the next Colorado Blue Spruce; the next lighter blue,

WALLS OF GREEN— Don't PlantWait-For-Me Evergreens 



These trees have been grown for the most discriminating clientele in the world and hundreds of carloads have been shipped to Boston, Buffalo, Cleveland, Sewickley, 

 Detroit, St. Louis, Baltimore, Washington and barge loads to Newport, Bridgeport, Greenwich and Irvington. 



They are guaranteed to grow satisfactorily or replaced free with new stock f.o.b. the nursery. The replace is very, very small. Why? Because the trees are 

 prepared to grow satisfactorily.

Cool Shade Trees This Summer — Not Little Sticks You Can Pat On The Head 



Perhaps you did not know it was practical to get a carload of big Oaks, Maples, Lindens, Beech, that save you 10 to 25 years, 

 like an orchard. Transportation is normal, we take the risk; labor is available and it's your duty to employ it.

LEUC0TH0E CATESBAEI. A horrible name, but one of the prettiest plants of the Alleghany Mountains. 

 The foliage is great, arching sprays of bronze-evergreen. Just the thing for extensive planting in the woodland, on acid 

 soils where Laurel is at home. Put them under your shrubbery to fill out and feather down and to give winter beauty. 

 Use them at the house foundation with Japanese Spurge to tie together the Yeiv, Laurel, Azaleas and Rhododendrons. 

 The flowers are showy clusters of white bells in May. Plants 12-18" high are $1 .00 each; §9.00 per 10.
