A roiigli draft, with estinnite, can usually he furnished without expense, and 
more eoin()lete and detailed plans can tln ii he made, showiiig the number, name 
and iH)sition of eaeli plant, and the cost of the same. When desirr-d. we furnish 
skilli'd workiiH ii to do the planting, and also i>ers<nuilly lay out tlie walks ,ind 
I'o.-tds. anil build the same of any material required to niake a eiunplete and satis- 
faetory linish. That nnndi the larger nundier of suburliari honu-s are badly

It is not economy tcj ti list (he laying out and planting to an ordinary itin- 
erant gardener, any more than to give to a jonrneynniu carpi nter the ilraugliting 
of a costly house. Money would he saved in hoth cases by cuupluying the most 
skilled artists obtainable. The correct way is to i)egin right. Ila\e a nuip 
made showing the location ami ground plan" of the house, the exact position of 
eacdi tree aiul slirnb now growing tluTe. and the iirojiosed cdianges and improve- 
ments, roads, walks, trees, gnmps of shrulis. hedges and flowers. .Such a plan 
can be carefully examined, and a fairly correct iiiea can be formed of the appear- 
ance of the place when completed. Slmulil the place be otl'ereil for sale, it is 
the outside of the home that winild fasten the eye of the prospective buyer. A 
good lawn and beautiful shrubbiTy. tastefully arranged, enhances values in the 
entire neighborhood. Some trei's ,iml shrub's are undesirable or ill-Utted to the 
soil and location, and a competent, expi'i iem-ed horticulturist can explain the 
reasmi why. and save nuiny costly mistakes and discour.-iging delays.
