A good lawn witli beautiful slji-uV)bery, tasteful ly iin iin^'ed, enhances 
values in the entire neighborhood. Trees and shrubs undesirable, or 
ill-fitted to the soil and location, a competent boi'tieulturist would re- 
ject, and give the reason why, saving many costly mistakes and dis- 
couraging delays. 
Drawing plans tor new estates or for older grounds is a department 
in our business which is every year increasing. 
A rough draft, with estimate, can usually be furnished without ex- 
pense. We furnish skilled workmen to dii the planting; and. when de- 
sired, also personally lay out the walks and I'oads, and Iraild the same 
of any material required to make a complete and satisfactory finisli.
