REASONS FOR RESULTS 
Successful plantings of the kind featured in our recent announcements, are not the 
result of chance. Back of every plant, shrub, and tree sent out from this nursery, 
stand months of careful cultivation, repeated transplanting, and any other activity 
essential to give you a finished product. Generally this process of growing specimen 
plants requires a period of years. 
Moreover, there is a vast difference between carefully lifting plants, and just digging 
them. To keep the root system as much intact as season and soil will permit, is one 
of the most essential points to successful transplanting. In addition, it is a pleasure to 
tell you about our 
Service Plus > In Packing and Shipping 
Men accustomed to care-taking, are entrusted with this most important work. Every Evergreen 
and many other sorts of valuable plants are lifted with a compact ball of earth on the roots, and 
carefully burlapped. Secured against disturbance to the root system in this fashion, they are 
packed and shipped with utmost promptness. In this matter of shipping, our trucks render 
valuable service within the limits of motor delivery. 
The next few months will see you devote considerable time to garden planning. In this you will 
find a most valuable aid in 
Our Book “Beautiful Home Surroundings” 
Really, an instructive guide as to how to get the most out of that vast mass of plant material 
available for improving American home grounds. It shows how a perfectly new place may be 
improved bv surrounding it with live hedges, and ornamenting it with beautiful plants, shrubs, and 
trees. You may spend hours with this book and not tire of its company. A copy is yours free for 
the asking. Please mention Garden Magazine.
