Landscape Work 



N this progressive age, it is seldom that anyone builds a 

 house without first securing the services of an architect.! 

 The aid of a competent landscape architect is fully as 

 necessary to properly plan and execute ornamental plantings, 

 as is the assistance of an architect in the construction of a build- 

 ing. The lack of professional advice in ornamenting the grounds 

 of many country homes is largely responsible for their unattrac- 

 tive appearance. A competent landscape gardener will not only 

 produce pleasing effects, but will save the owner much money, 

 to say nothing of the annoyance and loss of time caused by mak- 

 ing alterations and additions in order to secure satisfactory 

 results. 



For over thirty years, I have been engaged in laying out and 

 planting both large and small private estates, public parks, etc. 

 My patrons are people of refined taste, exacting and critical, and 

 it is to them I refer. Plans made and estimates of cost given for 

 landscape work of any character or any extent. Where impor- 

 tant work is contemplated upon large grounds, a personal visit 

 to the property is necessary ; for grounds of limited extent, a plan 

 can usually be made if but a rough outline, giving distances and 

 location of buildings, is mailed me. My prices for supplying the 

 nursery stock required to execute the plans are so moderate, that 

 my estimate is usually accepted. 



To assist in explaining my manner of embellishing home 

 grounds, I have published a booklet entitled "Beautifying Home 

 Surroundings,*' giving in detail our methods in landscape work 

 and illustrated with half-tone engravings from photographs of a 

 dozen or more examples of completed plantings that were exe- 

 cuted by me. This will be cheerfully mailed upon request. 

 Please ask for Booklet A.
