W E take great pleasure in presenting this Planting Guide, which is issued for the folks who appreciate the re¬ 
fined pleasures and beauty attached to home landscapes, and who desire to develop the greatest amount of 
beauty and comfort at a minimum of expense and care. The grounds should be considered as an outdoor liv¬ 
ing room, or series of rooms, and should be made harmonious, comfortable and beautiful. 
Fuil Value and Satisfaction 
People come to the Lehde Nurseries because they 
find full value and satisfaction. They acknowledge the 
Lehde Nurseries as an authority for expert advice 
They also have found that at no other place in or near 
Buffalo such a great variety of freshly dug, true to 
name, quality stock, can be found. 
Visit the Nurseries—Any Time 
You are welcome at the Lehde Nurseries whether 
you come for pleasure or to buy. Visit the nursery the 
same as you do the museum and zoo. Come often 
throughout the season and see the various displays of 
bloom, especially for roses and peonies. 
Select Your Own Fresh Dug Plants 
For quick selection of plants to take home in your 
car, visit the Sales Department. Some are ready in 
pots, others freshly dug and temporarily heeled in, 
ready to pull up; others can be dug for you in a rea¬ 
sonable time. You can call or send for them later. 
Attractive Home Grounds Have Become 
the Fashion 
If your place is not already a beauty spot, why not 
make it so? You can do it gradually if you like—ex¬ 
tend it over several seasons, spending $10.00 or $20.00 
at a time, and adding one unit after another. Or, if 
you want to make one job of it, tell us what you feel 
inclined to spend—perhaps $25.00, perhaps $200.00— 
and let us help you invest it to the best advantage. 
Care of Nursery Stock 
It is safe to say that ninety-eight per cent of the 
nursery stock received directly from a reliable nursery 
that fails to grow, or does grow but is always stunted 
and weak, is due to improper handling after it is re¬ 
ceived by the customer. This does not apply to stock 
that has been unduly exposed to high temperatures and 
drying conditions at wayside stands and stores. We 
can not be responsible for poor results with our stock 
which has been handled in stores or by dealers. 
When the stock is received, open the bundle in the 
shade, out of the wind, and cover. If you are not ready 
to plant immediately, heel the roots in the ground, 
soaking them well as you do. If well heeled in they can 
be kept without damage for a reasonable time. 
Terms and Conditions of Sale 
Please Read Carefully 
All goods are guaranteed to reach you in good 
condition; mistakes if made will be promptly recti¬ 
fied. Accept shipment, examine and count on re¬ 
ceipt and notify us and the carrier as well should 
there be any errors or damaged stock. We do not 
guarantee continued growth as this depends upon 
soil and climatic conditions, proper planting, and 
care given plants—conditions we cannot control. 
At prices we sell it is impossible for us to guarantee 
growth or to be responsible for stock after delivery 
to our customers in good condition. Any firm that 
unconditionally guarantees their stock includes this 
in their selling price. 
NON-WARRANTY. While we hold ourselves 
in readiness, on proper proof, to replace free of 
charge all trees, etc., that may prove untrue to 
label, or refund the amount paid, we give no war¬ 
ranty, expressed or implied, as to description, qual¬ 
ity, productiveness, or any other matter of any 
nursery stock, seeds, bulbs, or plants we sell. In any 
case we cannot be held responsible for more than 
the purchase price of the stock. 
Lehde's Planting Guide 
A Valuable Reference Book 
In compiling this book it was with the thought that 
many catalogs have in the past, to the average buyer, 
been mainly a list of botanical names with sizes and 
prices. If this book has helped you in solving your 
planting problems or has been made interesting enough 
to make you want to keep it for future reference, it 
will have accomplished its purpose.
