Deutzia, Lenioinei. One of the Best Low Shrubs. 
HP HE beauty and magic wonder of growing things is a never- 
ending interest and delight. We know that you have the 
desire to be proud of your home and its surroundings, for 
where a house and a garden are companions, there is a home 
full of living, growing contentment. 
Much of the joy of flowers is the pride of ownership that 
comes with the possession of anything of beauty, and it is 
doubly appreciated where a comparatively small investment in 
plant material, time and care increases the value far beyond the 
money invested. 
We are not only interested in your having some of the beauti¬ 
ful plants we offer, but also in helping you to place them on 
your grounds so that they will serve their best purpose. 
A REAL SERVICE 
Each home presents a different problem in the arrangement 
and selection of plant materials and we urge you to let us help 
you in planning your grounds or in choosing plants for certain 
locations you may wish to beautify. 
Our service is a helpful, friendly service. We not only help 
you select the plants which will serve you best, but also help 
you plan your place to get the utmost in returns and pleasure 
out of it. Perhaps you wish a rock garden, a rose garden, a 
foundation planting, or a screen to hide some objectionable view. 
OUR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT 
The service of our Landscape Architect, Mr. M. V. Woodard, 
is available to all. From information you can send us he will 
prepare an actual Landscape Plan, built to fit your own needs 
and grounds, that will then become a working plan for the final 
development. 
Send us the following data and it will be given our immediate 
attention. Accompany your request for a Landscape Plan with a 
deposit of $5.00. This will be credited in full on your first 
order of plant materials to the amount of $15.00 or more. 
Just make a rough sketch (need not be drawn to scale), show¬ 
ing this information: 
All dimensions of buildings and lot. 
Location of buildings and trees on lot. 
Points of compass. 
Location of drives and walks. 
Where windows on first floor and basement are placed. 
Any other information or kodak views which will help us in 
visualizing your grounds. 
"We have indeed derived a great deal of pleasure from our 
new house and grounds since the latter was landscaped by 
your architect last fall. Our trees and shrubs have greatly 
improved our home, even the first year.”—C. C. Stevenson, 
Kansas. 
A LANDSCAPE PLAN 
Below we show an example of proper treatment. First picture 
in your mind this house and property without any plant mate¬ 
rials. Then, as we develop the landscape picture, note how the 
front or public area is left open with only low plantings to 
soften the harsh lines at sidewalk and drive intersections. 
Trees are placed to frame the house and offer shade. The 
foundation planting around the house helps to link the house 
and grounds, softening harsh 
corners and accenting the en¬ 
trance. 
Along the sides of the lot, op¬ 
posite the main living rooms of 
the house, we have an informal 
shrubbery border of varying 
heights and blooming seasons so 
that it is a never-ending delight 
from early spring until fall. 
This border should also extend 
part way across the front of the 
lot to give some privacy to gar¬ 
den area. 
A vine-covered arbor is placed 
on the axis of a small pool. 
Annual and perennial flowers 
can be used to good advantage 
in front of the shrubbery border. 
The rear portion of the yard is divided by a hedge, to the 
rear of which may be placed a small vegetable garden. If no 
home-grown vegetables are desired, this could be utilized as a 
children’s play area with swings, etc. A space between house 
and garage has been set off by a vine-covered lattice fence and 
the inclosed area is best utilized for service, such as clothes 
drying, garbage receiver, etc. 
“I received the wonderful plan you outlined for my garden 
some time since and think it is one of the most beautiful I 
ever saw. Words fail me when I try to express my apprecia¬ 
tion for your splendid service.”—Mrs. R. Lee, Missouri.
