Sometimes we look back—we all 
do that—to view our profes¬ 
sional career. Looks like a long 
time ago, the few years of Ne¬ 
braska country school, then 
Europe—10 years of study in the 
Swiss Alps, the garden spots, 
Baden, Nizza, the parks of 
Sans-Souci, the beauty of Hol¬ 
land’s fields, canals, windmills 
in the spring, and the unforget- 
ably beautiful gardens of Paris. 
Perhaps I have noticed Europe's 
gardens more than other travel¬ 
ers. I should have—that was 
my work, and my reason for 
being there. Then back to the 
States, New York 12 years; yes, 
just 35 years all told of learning 
something about landscape ar¬ 
chitecture. But more than all, 
learning to create new designs 
to express the individuality of 
no pride in counting up the parks,'the large estates I 
have planned in the Middle West, but nothing else 
means so much to me as the praise from the people 
who saw my work after it was done, the profound 
satisfaction my patrons have assured me of. And this 
is my daily work—planning. I shall be at your ser¬ 
vice, too. My plans are made to fit exactly your 
location, your climate, harmonize with your surround¬ 
ings and your home. A well planned design is worth 
more than my charge, it assures you of entire success 
when your planting is complete. I invite your corres¬ 
pondence if you earnestly intend to have a perfect 
plan for your grounds. 
SPIREA BILLARDI—I can furnish you this splendid Spirea 
in either the pink or the white flowering type, your choice, 
for the price quoted on this page. This shrub grows up to 
just the right size for foundation planting, shrub-border, 
etc., and its foliage stays clean and healthy. The blossoms 
appear in the summer, at a time when flowers are scarce. 
I recommend this Spirea; it is perfectly hardy. 
Winterberry 
Hardy Holly 
Ilex. Be sure to plant 
two or more of this 
fine shrub. Does well 
in the Middle West, 
and its highly showy, 
red berries stay on 
practically all through 
the winter. The shrub 
does not grow fast, 
but will eventually at¬ 
tain a height of 19 
feet, well shaped at 
all times. 18-24 inch 
nice shrubs, 75c each, 
postpaid. 
Planting 
Instructions 
Watering is never 
complete unless ap¬ 
plied so that the roots, 
well below the ground 
surface, get the full 
benefit. In fact, the 
surface watering does 
more harm than good. 
I advise you to water 
shrubs just once every 
week during dry 
weather, and proceed 
as told on page 28.
