PARTIAL VIEW OF ORNAMENTAL GROUNDS AT FRUITLAND. 
T^[OR the past twenty-five years our firm has made the artistic ornamenting of private 
F estates, cemeteries, public parks, etc., one of the features of its general line of 
•*- ’ business; but the increasing demand for this class of work has, of late, been so 
marked that in order to fulfill all of our contracts we have added a separate department of 
landscape gardening, employing additional expert gardeners and engineers, who, acting 
under our personal directions and being familiar with road-making, grading, draining and 
laying out grounds, will satisfactorily carry out any work entrusted to us. 
Our intimate knowledge of trees and plants specially adapted to the South is derived 
from a practical experience of fifty years, and enables us to select such classes as are best 
suited for the many different requirements in planning, planting and ornamenting grounds- 
We are therefore prepared to undertake extensive contracts and supply trees and plants in 
any quantities. 
Correspondence is solicited from persons who are interested in beautifying their home 
surroundings, or municipalities who intend the formation of parks, cemeteries or the plant¬ 
ing of shade trees along their thoroughfares.
