Large garden or small—design is carried out in complete harmony with the 
architecture of the buildings, and in keeping with the terrain. Selection of 
plants is made from the West’s largest nursery assortment, and only plants 
of the best quality are used; yet substantial savings in cost of plant materials 
are made because we deal direct with the owner. Errors of impracticability 
are avoided, thereby cutting replacement costs to the barest minimum. Plant¬ 
ing is done by experts, eliminating losses. Gardens are planned to provide 
low maintenance costs. 
For the owner who wishes to do his own planting a more restricted service 
is available, including plan, list of materials with sizes, and advice on proper 
planting and care. This service is invaluable, yet its cost is very low. 
On all projects we submit detailed estimates in advance. Cost limits are 
guaranteed. Thus the owner knows exactly what his costs will be before
