The establishment of a complete landscape department has been a comparatively recent event 
in our 71-year-old organization. Garden Show exhibits such as the ones shown on this page 
have played an important part in the development of this department. Planned for the artistic 
display of our nursery stock, their attractiveness resulted in requests from homeowners for 
duplication in actual gardens. The garden of our “Anne 
Hathaway Cottage,’’ in the Oakland Spring Garden Show 
is a case in point. It demonstrated that artistic arrange¬ 
ment of inexpensive plants results in a charming garden, 
and that expert planning gives the effect of restful 
spaciousness to a limited area. 
Daffodils are always charming under birch 
trees—a section of one of our Garden 
Show exhibits. 
BETTER HOUSING PROGRAM INCLUDES 
LANDSCAPING 
In co-operation with the Federal Housing Administra¬ 
tion’s nation-wide Better Housing Program, California 
Nursery Company extends to its patrons all benefits of 
low-cost financing permitted under the National Housing 
Act. This applies not only to the purchase and planting of ornamental shrubbery, but includes 
such changes as grading and landscaping, lawns, lawn sprinkling systems, sidewalks, private 
curbs and driveways, covering both purchase price and necessary labor. It does not apply to 
fruit trees, berry vines, or vegetation other than ornamental. No down payment is required. 
Loans up to $2,000 for landscaping and home beautification are permitted. Payment is made 
in convenient monthly installments. Ask about this added service in the modernization and 
beautification of your home and garden. There is no obligation.
