Landscape Department 
I N connection with our Nursery business we maintain a highly specialized 
Landscape Department, and are well equipped to take up landscape prob¬ 
lems from every angle. 
Parks, cemeteries, real estate sub-divisions, playgrounds, large estates, as 
well as the small grounds surrounding the more modest home, all have their 
special conditions and requirements which can only be successfully co-ordinated 
by one well trained in the principles of landscape design and possessing a knowl¬ 
edge of plant material. 
In order that any landscape development may be successfully as well as 
economically carried out, it is highly desirable for those contemplating such 
work to seek the advice of a landscape gardener even before any general 
layout is considered. In this way every natural advantage may be made 
use of and often serious errors involving both loss of time and expense be 
avoided. 
A thorough knowledge of soil requirement, exposure, drainage and grading 
problems as well as that of plant material is often as essential as that of 
landscape design and the very complexity of these conditions renders it im¬ 
possible for one not familiar with landscape principles to economically or artisti¬ 
cally arrange your home grounds for you. 
Our landscape department is proving of especial advantage to those who 
possess old established grounds, where often an abundance of matured plant 
material exists, but which is not arranged to best advantage. We often find it 
necessary to re-design the layout of the walks and drives to meet more modern 
needs and by the use of the plant material on hand, with such additions as are 
necessary, excellent results can often be obtained at minimum expense. 
We are always glad to offer suggestions free of charge to those who have 
new grounds to lay out or old grounds to rearrange, but where special visits 
are made and planting plans, specifications, etc., are desired, a reasonable charge 
is made to cover services rendered.
