Building of Greenhouses and Conservatories 
Conservatories and greenhouses should be built not only for their appearance but 
mainly for the practical purposes for which they are intended, so that the plants will 
thrive and give results. . 
I would be pleased to furnish plans, specifications and erect glass structures of any 
description. Also furnish such stock as would be desired to grow in same and see to the 
proper placing of same. 
Professional Charges 
Charges for professional services can never be stated beforehand, as same are 
governed entirely by the time the contemplated improvements will take; also the neces¬ 
sary time for making plans, specifications and so on, and on this account such charges 
could always be arranged at the first interview after the property has been seen and the 
owner consulted regarding his wishes. 
Best Way to Obtain Results and Pleasure 
Where the owner is a busy man and cannot give his time to the details of the work 
pertaining to the layout of the place, I would be glad to make an arrangement by which 
I would take the entire contract and charge of the work, so as to take this burden off the 
shoulders of the owner and be able to guarantee the result not only until the place is 
completely finished, but to make an arrangement by which I could have the supervision of 
the same for a year or two, so as to see that the work done is properly carried on and 
everything is taken care of in the best way so that the work begun would not be marred. 
In this way a country place would be to the owner what it should be, a source of 
pleasure rather than one of annoyance and worry. 
The Two Seasons for Landscape Gardening 
From the first of March to the end of June, and from the beginning of September to 
the end of November, are the two busy seasons of the landscape gardener to carry out 
the practical work, and, therefore, any preliminary arrangements, such as surveying, 
making out plans, estimates, etc., should be done before the busy season commences so as 
to be ready for operation when the season is proper for such work, and when there is more 
time to prepare plans and give them thorough thought in regard to all contemplated 
improvements. 
Avoid Delays 
Therefore, do not wait until it is time to begin the work, but make arrangements 
ahead, so that nothing would suffer on account of a late beginning. 
On receipt of this booklet, please write me and your needs will be attended to by 
Yours respectfully,
