J^EVER before in the history of our country has there been such a general and live, interest in land and land 
developement. Never before has there been a realization of the possibilities of agriculture and never have 
agrarian interests prospered to such an extent, because they are the subject of intelligent study and effort on the 
part of the cultured and student agrarian classes. Landscape architecture and design have grown quite naturally 
to supply the demands of this phase of American life for beautifying and harmonizing nature and art. The 
stock we offer is grown at our Nurseries which enjoys one of the most northerly situations of any Nurseries in 
America. Our seed arbors are extensive and every tree and shrub is given individual attention to secure 
symmetry of form, and fullness of developement in the grown plant. 
WE CAN FURNISH ALL VARIETIES OF TREES 
and shrubs which are suitable to this climate and in any desired size from the seedling to the fully grown. Our packing 
sheds have most complete facilities for handling and shipping, insuring the arival of your stock in perfect condition. 
Our Landscape Architect will make plans and specifications on application. For clients with small residence, 
grounds these are drawn free of charge but in order to protect ourselves from people who have no intention of 
using the plans, we request the payment of the nominal fee of One Dollar in return for which we will furnish 
client with a credit certificate appliable on the first order for trees and shrubs amounting to S5.00orover 
In the development of Parks, Cemeteries and large grounds where personal investigation is required a small 
charge is made to compensate for time and expense involved. 
THE MAKING OF A LAWN 
r J 1 HAT a good lawn is the item of first importance in the direction of any grounds is a self evident truth. 
It is the canvas of the picture on which the paintings are to be filled in and if it is poor no matter what the 
surrounding vegetation, the picture will be unfinished and bare. Nothing is easier to obtain than a smooth 
stretch of green sward and with a little care your lawn may be a velvety turf until the snow comes. The first 
consideration is to have a good soil and the second a good grass seed that will make roots that interlace firmly 
to form a srtong turf. Fertilize and work the soil thoroughly then sow seed. One quart to 300 square feet or 
5 bushels to the acre. We know of no better general mixture than May's Central Park which has given great 
s-tisf action. Page 44 of this Catalogue will give fuller directions and different mixtures suitable to all conditions 
of soil and place.
