HOW WE CAN HELP YOU PLANT TREES 
AND HEDGES 
The term landscape architecture often is mis¬ 
understood to mean the elaborate planning of a 
big estate. It really means laying out with care 
and system any kind of a planting, whether a 
tiny home-yard or an immense park. 
We grow shade trees and hedge plants by the 
tens of millions. We want to supply them for 
planting grounds of any and every character. If 
you want half a dozen Privet plants, we want your 
order. If you want ten miles of hedge, or trees for 
a thousand acres of “lawn,” come here and we 
will show you material suitable for your purposes, 
of the very best quality that can be grown. We 
are particularly interested in supplying plants and 
trees for dwellings in city, suburbs or country, for 
new estates of any kind, for replanting old home¬ 
steads, and for parks and cemeteries. 
If you know exactly what you want to do, you 
will not need suggestions from us, either as to what 
to select or how to arrange your grounds. If you 
are not sure about these things, however, why 
not send us two or three photographs of your 
grounds, from various angles, showing the buildings, 
the slope, or any other features. We then can tell 
you what you ought to have. If you can not get 
photographs, tell us in words as near as you can 
about the situation. Locate the house, barn, 
buildings, tell how they face, which directions the 
prevailing winds come from, where you wish your 
garden, flower-beds, clothes-line, woodpile, drives, 
walks, pond, and the exact location of the distinct 
views you want to keep, as well as any views you 
want to shut off. 
In planning the planting, it always is the aim 
to keep the center open and covered with thick 
grass. Around the edges is where the shade trees 
should go. How far they are apart depends on 
whether you want them to close the view or not. 
By planting them 25 or 30 feet apart, and trimming 
them up high, you can have a most beautiful view 
out between the trunks. With the hedges beneath, 
this will frame your picture of the country outside. 
The Privet can be left to grow high or low accord¬ 
ing to the needs of the particular place,
