BILTMORE NURSERY 
BILTMORE, N.C, 
Let Biltmore Nursery Help You to 
Plant Your Grounds in Harmony 
You have seen lawns and formal gardens where the whole planting was 
in perfect accord—a note of harmony seeming to strike through it all. 
Every tree and shrub, every little plant, was in the right place, the indi- 
vidual beauty of each emphasized by contrast with the others—the birch’s 
white gleam foiling the solid green of the spruce, or a border of perennials 
setting off the low spread of the rhododendron or hydrangea. 
Three Biltmore Nursery Books 
The product of Biltmore Nursery, and the three Biltmore books de- 
scribed below, make it possible for you to put just such a planting around 
your own home. Biltmore trees, shrubs and plants will thrive practically 
everywhere, because each receives, as it grows, whatever it needs to 
develop properly. The three books accurately describe the things we grow 
here, and tell, by word and picture, how to plant them effectively.
