6 DELIGHTFUL GARDENING FEATURES THAT YOU TOO CAN HAVE— 
Ask Us to Help You Plan and Plant Them 
1. HOUSE FOUNDATION PLANTINGS to soften the corners and angles of the building and to 
make it a part of the landscape picture. These plantings should be moderate in amount and 
most carefully selected to be appropriate to the type and architecture of the building. 
2 PROTECTIVE SHRUB BOUNDARIES to frame in the yard particularly along the sides and rear 
and so create privacy for your lawn. Taller-growing and medium height shrubs are used in 
pleasing combinations. 
3 COLORFUL FLOWER BORDERS to provide cheerful color and plenty of flowers for cutting all 
season through. The hardy perennials, living from year to year, make the framework of these 
bright flower borders. 
4. ROSE AND FLOWER GARDENS are a source of delight and pleasure. We will help you select 
the location and suggest proper plants. 
5. EVER-BEAUTIFUL EVERGREENS will add charm with their all-year-round green foliage. They 
can be used’in lawn and garden groups as well as combined with shrubs in the border. We 
offer choice, handsome specimens of the newer varieties. 
A rockery and pool will bring new interest and pleasure 
6. ROCK GARDENS are a continual 
source of enjoyment and interest. 
The construction can be very sim¬ 
ple if desired and can be adapted 
to most any property if rightly 
planned and located.
