Landscape Department 
OR over twenty-six years we have made the ornamentation of city and 
residential parks, cemeteries, mill villages, private estates, etc., one 
of the features of our business; but within the last few years the de¬ 
mand for this class of work has grown to such an extent that we 
found it necessary to add a department of landscape gardening to 
our business, placing in charge of this department one of the mem¬ 
bers of our firm. Recently, in view of the continued and marked in¬ 
crease in the demand for landscape work, we have found it necessary to employ ad¬ 
ditional expert engineers, draftsmen and plantsmen, who, acting under our personal 
direction, and being familiar with road making, grading, draining, laying out and 
planting grounds, will execute any work entrusted to us in a thoroughly satisfac¬ 
tory manner. 
In planning the planting of trees and shrubs, if satisfactory results are desired, 
it is important that care be used to plant such as are adapted to the peculiar condi¬ 
tions of location, climate, soil, etc., which exist in each individual case. Our inti¬ 
mate knowledge of trees and plants, derived from a practical experience of over 51 
years, enables us to select such as are best suited to these many different require¬ 
ments ; and we are prepared to undertake large or small contracts for landscape 
work, furnish plans, make surveys and to supply trees and plants in any quantity. 
Our charges are moderate. 
We solicit correspondence from persons who are interested in beautifying their 
home surroundings, and from municipalities and manufacturers who contemplate 
the laying out of parks, villages, or the planting of shade trees along their thor¬ 
oughfares.
