The Home Pinetum 



EVERYBODY having a garden or lawn can have a Pinetum. 

 It is now positively known that to live among Pine Trees is 

 to insure good health. We can supply the varieties of Pines 

 to make a Pinetum of any size. This does not necessarily mean a 

 forest of Pines fifty to seventy-five feet high has to develop before 

 healthful results are obtained. We have Pines suitable for gardens 

 of any size — kinds that grow only a few feet tall, and others that 

 grow to almost any height. Give us particulars as to location and 

 size of Pinetum desired and we will give the cost and varieties 

 desirable for your climate and location. Everybody can stay at 

 home and live among the Pines at small cost. 



The Home Rosary 



EVERYBODY having a garden or grounds can have a Home 

 Rosary to produce enough exquisite flowers to keep the home 

 supplied from early spring until well along into winter. 

 Our Bush and Tree Roses will give an abundance of bloom 

 the first summer after planting. Mail us sketch and size of the 

 ground you wish to treat and we will mail all particulars, giving 

 the best varieties suitable for your climate, and the cost. 



The Home Herb Garden 



EVERY home frequently feels the need of Herbs; soups, salads, 

 dressings and flavoring cannot be made with a correct flavor 

 without them. We have all the well known popular Herbs. 

 Ask us about them. 



The Home Fruit* Garden 



NO HOME with surrounding grounds should be without a 

 Fruit Garden. A small space will produce an abundance of 

 fruit if properly planted. Dwarf or Trained Apples, Pears, 

 Peaches, Plums and Cherries can be profitably grown in almost any 

 sunny position ; also Gooseberries, Currants, Blackberries, Rasp- 

 berries, Grapes, Strawberries, Rhubarb, etc. We have all of these 

 and will be glad to make a selection to suit your grounds and tastes. 



OUR LANDSCAPE DEPARTMENT is equipped to assist you in 

 the selection of the proper material for every location, or 

 other Landscape problems you may have. We have men and 

 the facilities to carry out all kinds of work. 



The supervision of private estates and public grounds a specialty.
