son without technical training. It is 
shown in their adv. on another page.

The most beautiful Ameri- 
can gardens have ac(iuired 
their distinctiveness and charm through proper use 
of our exquisite Native American Plants. In no other 
way may the harmony and unity of American land- 
scapes be preserved and enhanced, while 
A TOO LARGE USE OF EXOTICS, 'however choice, 
results in harsh effects and clashes of color and form 
—in other words, “plants out of place.”
