your plants and garden mate¬ 
rials—if you cannot find what 
you want in our advertising 
pages. We can make sugges¬ 
tions for laying out grounds 
—and tell you where to get 
definite plan9. We can offer 
advice on the care of lawns, 
beds and orchards—and sug-' 
gest where to purchase what 
is needed for their protection. 
How You Can Help Us

Generally, you can give us the full 
information we need to send you 
intelligent advice.

The Tang of Salt Air 
Years of Ceaseless Care 
E vergreens love the tang of 
salt air, as it whistles through 
our Nurseries, fresh from the 
broad Atlantic. They rejoice too in 
the deep loamy soil which encour¬ 
ages a tremendous root growth. 
Every individual specimen enjoys 
sufficient light to encourage a dense, 
even growth of foliage from base to 
tip. Years of watchful care bring 
Harrisons’ Evergreens to near-per¬ 
fection. Every specimen is dug by 
hand so as to preserve the natural 
earth about the roots, the whole be¬ 
ing securely sewed in burlap. 
Harrisons’ Evergreens will fulfill 
your fondest expectations. Every 
specimen is guaranteed to be sym¬ 
metrical and well-shaped. Your 
choice from more than thirty varie¬ 
ties. Sizes, up to 12 ft. 
Two Helpful Booklets 
Every House and Garden reader 
needs our “Home Beautifying Sug¬ 
gestions’’ and “Planters’ Guide.” 
Together, they cover the whole sub¬ 
ject of home and orchard planting.
