Have You a Plan? 
Y OU ARE anxious to make your home more attractive to your family and your 
friends, as well as more valuable. Then, too, you want the pleasure and satisfac¬ 
tion that comes from the actual job of making your home more beautiful. 
We are here to assist you. Our business is primarily supplying plants, but we 
are also glad to make suggestions and talk your planting problems over with you free 
of charge. We suggest that above everything else, plant with a purpose—have a 
definite plan that you want to develop in a year or over a period of years. Plant trees 
to frame the house, foundation planting to “tie the house to the ground,” and shrubs 
to add beauty in winter and flowers to add color and beauty in the summer. You also 
want to think of your yard and plan it so as to have an outdoor living room. 
Each year brings an increased number of rose gardens, rock gardens, lily pools 
and outdoor living rooms—rooms whose carpet is green grass, whose walls are green 
shrubs and bright blue, red and yellow flowers, and whose ceilings are true sky blue, 
or the green foliage of a sheltering tree. 
For those who desire a plan drawn, or wish us to build a rose garden, rock garden, 
or lily pool, we have a landscape department prepared to do this. We have recently 
enlarged our landscape department and the pictures in this book show plantings done 
by this department of our business. 
Two per cent of the value of your home spent on the yards will add much to its 
beauty, make it more enjoyable to you and your family and friends, and make it 
more valuable. There is no other investment that you can make in connection with 
your home which will increase in value as the years pass, for each year the trees and 
plants grow larger and become more valuable. 
Whether you wish to make use of our Landscape Department or not, bring us 
your problems—nearly everyone has problems in connection with their yard—and we 
shall be glad to discuss these problems with you absolutely free of charge. 
Our Service is Complete, Including - the Plan, Plants and Planting - .
