HOW WE CAN HELP YOU PLANT TREES 

 AND HEDGES 



The term landscape architecture often is mis- 

 understood to mean the elaborate planning of a 

 big estate. It really means laying out with care 

 and system any kind of a planting, whether a 

 tiny home-yard or an immense park. 



We grow shade trees and hedge plants by the 

 tens of millions. We want to supply them for 

 planting grounds of any and every character. If 

 you want half a dozen Privet plants, we want your 

 order. If you want ten miles of hedge, or trees for 

 a thousand acres of "lawn," come here and we 

 will show you material suitable for your purposes, 

 of the very best quality that can be grown. We 

 are particularly interested in supplying plants and 

 trees for dwellings in city, suburbs or country, for 

 new estates of any kind, for replanting old home- 

 steads, and for parks and cemeteries. 



If you know exactly what you want to do, you 

 will not need suggestions from us, either as to what 

 to select or how to arrange your grounds. If you 

 are not sure about these things, however, why 

 not send us two or three photographs of your 

 grounds, from various angles, showing the buildings, 

 the slope, or any other features. We then can tell 

 you what you ought to have. If you can not get 

 photographs, tell us in words as near as you can 

 about the situation. Locate the house, barn, 

 buildings, tell how they face, which directions the 

 prevailing winds come from, where you wish your 

 garden, flower-beds, clothes-line, woodpile, drives, 

 walks, pond, and the exact location of the distinct 

 views you want to keep, as well as any views you 

 want to shut off. 



In planning the planting, it always is the aim 

 to keep the center open and covered with thick 

 grass. Around the edges is where the shade trees 

 should go. How far they are apart depends on 

 whether you want them to close the view or not. 

 By planting them 25 or 30 feet apart, and trimming 

 them up high, you can have a most beautiful view 

 out between the trunks. With the hedges beneath, 

 this will frame your picture of the country outside. 

 The Privet can be left to grow high or low accord- 

 ing to the needs of the particular place.
