Twenty Years <Ago 
We were the first of American nurseries to realize that 
American gardens and grounds could not be laid out and 
planted under our severe climatic restrictions without a 
practicaland expert studyof plant life and conditions, es- 
pecially where advice and sound judgment in determining 
results were needed, We have worked twenty years on 
this basis, and many thousands of the most attractive es- 
tates in all parts of this country, planned by us, prove 
that we wereright. Wecanrefer to them. 
Thousands of plans are made on paper, but real success 
requires a practical knowledge which comes only with a 
life study of the relative value of every tree, shrub and 
flowering plant. We offer thisexperience as plantsmen to 
secure for every client, no matter where, a finished and 
beautiful result, and at comparatively small cost. 
We not only prepare plans for every form of garden and 
grounds, through the medium of sketches sent by mail, 
but send promptly men of experience, at reasonable rates, 
to advise upon every leading feature of landscape work. 
We call special attention to our catalogues, which are 
hardly equaled for detail, cultural advice and thoroughness. Our large catalogue is regarded as the very 
best practical work in this country. ee 
Our nurseries are among the largest in the United States, and we sell Trees, Shrubs, Rhododendrons, Ever- 
greens, Herbaceous Plants, Vines, Bulbs
