When It Comes to 
Foundation Planting 
Individual Homes require settings best adapted to 
the grounds and architecture of the house. For this 
reason no general advice can be given as to how to 
clothe the foundations. But we are prepared to sub¬ 
mit suggestions designed to fit the individual case 
if you will advise us of your preference of plant 
materials. 
Ihree groups of plants may be employed :— 
1 . Deciduous shrubbery which drops its foliage dur¬ 
ing the winter. 
2 . Evergreen plants, both shrubs and trees, that 
remain beautiful the year round. 
3 . A judicious mixture of both of above, a combin¬ 
ation affording more life and color than either 
of above alone! 
Whatever You Choose We Can Help 
The combined resources of our 800 acre nurseries embrace a 
great variety of hardy plants, shrubs, or trees useful for orna¬ 
mentation of American Home Grounds. Nearly a century’s 
experience in filling the wants of the garden loving public has 
taught us to provide the logical plant materials for different 
sections and purposes. Let our free catalogue acquaint you 
with all we grow. Those planning Lilac Gardens are re¬ 
ferred to our special Lilac Advertisement page 13 March
