There is no surer or more permanent investment 
from a viewpoint of both increased property valua¬ 
tion and advertising value than is obtained through 
proper landscape development whether it be in pri¬ 
vate dwellings,modern apartment houses, hotels, indus¬ 
trial plants, commercial buildings, or civic projects. 
Such well-known firms as Standard Brands of 
California, Hazel-Atlas Glass Company of California, 
leading oil companies, municipalities, many owners 
of private estates and residences have been quick to 
recognize the trend towards modernization which 
business and better living demands. In step with this 
modernization and an important part of it is appro¬ 
priate landscape development, which our Landscape 
Organization has carried out for them and offers 
you, whether it be complete garden design or a more 
limited planting service. 
Our limited Planting Service consists of the prep¬ 
aration of a simple yet comprehensive plan for which 
a moderate charge is made; supplying plant material 
at definite prices; planting by our men at a fixed rate 
per hour. 
For those who wish to budget their expenses, we 
are prepared to arrange credit terms distributing 
payments over a period of several months. 
A cordial invitation is extended to you to visit our 
several nurseries and inspect the quality plant ma¬ 
terial and specimen stock which is used in our land¬ 
scape work. 
"Before and After” pictures of "Mollenhauer's” on the Bayshore Highway at Palo Alto 
show graphically how much a well-designed planting adds to the attractiveness of 
a roadside development. Chas. K. Sumner, Architect, designed the building.
