Shade Xrees «« 
There is nothing about a homestead in the country or 
residence in city or village that reflects the culture and 
refinment of the owner as do well-kept and judiciously 
planted grounds. The planting also adds selling value 
as well as beauty and comfort. 
In the development of the Central West, the first and 
most important thing to the home builder was to get the 
home, and little attention was paid te the beautifying 
of the home grounds. Now the land is practically all 
developed into farms with convenient and substantial 
buildings, and the owners are beginning to think about 
beautifying their homes by the planting of ornamental 
trees, flowering shrubs and plants. 
The demand for ornamental trees, shrubs and plants 
has greatly increased the past few years, and to meet 
this demand we have greatly enlarged our plantings in 
this department and enlarged our facilities for propa¬ 
gating this class of stock, which consists of such kinds 
as are hardy and desirable and represent a great variety 
of colors both in blossom and foliage, as well as in habit 
and growth, and we are able to supply these in large 
quantities. 
View in our grounds showing Specimen Evergreens, 
some 30 feet in height. These may be moved to your 
grounds, saving to you 20 to 30 years time. 
Where large or small estates are to be beautified or 
grounds laid out, such as parks, playgrounds, institu¬ 
tional and club grounds, cemeteries, etc., we send a 
landscape architect to survey same and furnish complete 
plans and specifications for the proper planting, loca¬ 
tion of walks, drives, etc. 
Our stock of Ornamentals consists of the very best 
and hardiest kind suitable for this latitude, and the 
list contains over 150 different kinds of Shrubs and 
Hardy Plants. And our extensive list of Evergreens 
contains all the most desirable and hardy for this 
section of the country. 
With this large list and our splendid stock we are 
in position to execute any Landscape job in the best 
possible manner. Having our own stock to select from, 
we are not handicapped by having to send away for any 
stuff in beautifying grounds, and are able to give our 
customers better satisfaction. 
Remember, it is “Quality” that you get when dealing 
with The Home Nursery.
