organization hasthe distinctive

the finest gardens both here and 
abroad, assure you well-grown, 
intelligently cared for stock.

class of material grown under 
more congenial conditions. 
French Hemlocks , Colorado 
Spruce are a specialty.

in specimen evergreens, 
trees, shrubs, roses, 
vines and herbaceous 
perennials, trust your

Surpassing in size and beauty the common form, each 
“pussy” is a wondrous creation of silver filaments which 
catch the light and shine like pearls, retaining their satiny 
lustre throughout the winter—a most artistic decoration. 
Imagine a clump of this glorified form of the favorite old pussy 
willow in your garden—absolutely hardy—grows anywhere. 
Make sure of having this unusual and interesting winter decora¬ 
tion every year. 
OUR LANDSCAPE ORGANIZATION 
offers a unique and practical service on all matters pertaining to 
grounds and gardens of any size.

1 and beauty, the most helpful rose catalog published.

1 famous flower girl standing in the open fields, rich in June’s fresh green- 1 
| ness, with her arms full of roses—all in natural colors. 
This book and the business which it so well represents are the result of 1 
| many years of loving and enthusiastic devotion to the Queen of Flowers. It | 
1 is mailed free to customers and intending purchasers—to anyone, without | 
1 obligation to purchase (but to insure appreciation), for the nominal sum | 
| of 10c in coin or stamps. |

March Doings 
In Your Garden 
A Personal Note from Henry Hicks 
T HIS month, if all goes 
well, there will be a 
“feel of spring” in the air. 
You will want to get into 
the garden, uncover the 
bulbs and some of the plants, 
turn under the mulch, and 
loosen the soil around the 
shrubs. 
You can plant anything 
ycu choose. It is a good 
time to set big trees—Nor¬ 
way Maples, Lindens, Oaks, 
Evergreens, in variety. 
Flowering shrubs set this 
month are likely to give some 
blooms in season. You can 
have all these trees and 
shrubs at reasonable prices, 
and they will be guaranteed 
to grow.
