Let Us Plan the Beautifying of Your Grounds 
WE MAKE plans for the surrounding of the humblest little cottage as well as the extensive and elaborate' 
estate, public parks, factory grounds, schools, universities, sanitariums, etc. We furnish plans by mail, 
or when desired, will send a landscape gardener to do the work or instruct you 
how to do it. Our terms for this class of work are always very reasonable. 
Plan of Your Grounds Made Free of Charge 
ON THE following terms we will make a sketch showing how to lay out and 
plant your grounds in an artistic and attractive way. Send us a small 
sketch of your grounds, showing location of buildings, walks, drives, if any, 
trees and shrubbery, or any other permanent things already established and 
that are not to be removed. Also location of all of'the entrances, lot and 
buildings; any objectionable or desirable views from the residence, and grades 
of any importance. Photographs will also be of assistance if convenient to send. 
WHEN the sketch is sent to us remit one dollar, for which we will at once send 
a coupon for the amount, and this coupon will be accepted by us as part 
payment on an order amounting to $5.00 or more. We wish to impress upon 
the minds of our customers that this is not a scheme of any kind by which we 
are receiving pay for the sketch but is done only as a safeguard against some 
curious persons that would impose upon us and ask for plans with little or no 
intention of making use of them. Many of the plans cost us more than one 
dollar. 
CORRESPONDENCE regarding any landscape work to be done during the spring 
months should reach us early. We are always very busy during April and 
May, and those delaying until these months are often disappointed. 
We Design and Plant Large Public and Private Grounds 
PLANTING and furnishing stock, for parks, factory grounds, schools, universi- 
ties, sanitariums and hotel grounds, as well as decorating home grounds 
of moderate size, is one of our specialties, and we are prepared to plan and 
advise how and what to plant to produce the best results with the least amount 
of labor and expenditure.

local conditions and individual tastes of every person, so kindly answer the we prepare plans like the above

How to Take Measurements of Your Grounds 
IK CiViKG MBA!,VREMEiiTS the first thing is to indicate the boundary lines of premises. Then indicate outlines of house. Then show 
number of feet from front line to house, and also number of feet from side lines to house. Roads or walks are measured either from 
one side or the other. If the road or walk is irregular, two or more measurements should be taken from side line to intersections. Any 
object now standing, such as trees, shrubs, fences or other buildings should be located in the same wav. bv first measuring from front or 
back line, depending on which line is nearest to the object, and then measure from one side line thus showing the angle. 
To ILLUSTRATE. Suppose your lot is 70 feel front and no feet deep—make, your scale 5 feet to the inch. Establish your boundary 
line by counting 14 inches from either side of the paper for front, and 22 for the depth. Then if the house is 30 feet from the front 
lline count 6 inches and mark position of front of house; if 20 feet from one side count 4 inches, wh 
J.the same method for other side, also from back. (Always give points of compass.)
