Live with Ramsey's Evergreens the Tear ’Round 
Mr. F. T. Ramsey often said that if any one asked 
him how to spend a few dollars to bring the most 
satisfaction he would say, besides planting some 
HAUPT Berries, to plant evergreens for windbreak 
or screen. There are satisfaction and appeal in a 
tree that is perpetually green. Evergreens constitute 
the larger part of material used in the best land¬ 
scaping. 
Evergreens of the faster growing, cheaper varie¬ 
ties, together with several other good plants, should 
be planted extensively for the purpose of holding soil 
and preventing washing. A mile of such planting 
can be made for comparatively small cost. Ask us 
about it. 
Approximate heights of ultimate growth are in¬ 
dicated, which may be regulated by pruning. 
DISCOUNTS: 10 per cent for 10 plants or more; 
15 per cent for 30 plants or more. 
Beauty Has Real Value 
Few see the interior of another’s home, while 
thousands pass judgment upon the appearance of the 
grounds around the home. Why not have them beau¬ 
tiful ? 
Nature provides wonderful material for outdoor 
decoration, flowers and foliage with infinite combi¬ 
nations of colors. If trees and shrubs are properly 
arranged and planted, a little money can not be 
spent in another way to add so much beauty, comfort, 
and value to the home. 
For the beautification of Home Grounds, there are 
a few outstanding principles: 
1. Tliere should be a foundation planting that 
largely obscures the foundation lines and corners of 
the house, and ties it to the ground. 
2. There should be a background planting of 
larger trees that will grow as tall as the house, or 
taller, giving a skyline. Such should be made by 
tall-growing evergreens, shade trees, or both, in the 
back yard. 
3. Planting may be and in many cases should be 
made down the sides of the front yard. Hedges are 
sometimes appropriate, but as a rule we prefer 
groups or masses of evergreens and flowering shrubs. 
4. The front yard should consist of well-kept 
lawn. 
5. Planting should, in whole or in part, separate 
front and back yards. 
6. Shade trees should be planted wherever needed 
for shade. 
7. Every home should have an outdoor living room. 
A secluded back yard is generally the best location. 
Information and Assistance 
Most persons have a general idea of the results 
desired, but do not know the plants to select or how 
to arrange them. We offer a landscape service for 
every type of planting, small or large home grounds, 
public grounds and parks. Our advice as to the best 
kinds of trees and plants and general ideas as to 
grouping them is free. However, we will make a 
detailed planting plan for a small, nominal charge, 
and such plan can be carried out by the owner at 
once, or by degrees, without making a serious mis¬ 
take. Personal visit can be made to the grounds, 
or information and kodak pictures can be sent us, 
from which we can prepare the planting plan that 
will give pleasing and satisfactory results. 
When to Plant 
The months from November to April are the prin¬ 
cipal months for planting all trees and plants. How¬ 
ever, most of the plants used in the best landscape 
work can be set out at any time of the year. It is 
not necessary to allow the yard to remain bare and 
unplanted until fall or winter. 
Financing Tree-Planting 
Loans are available for financing the improvement 
of Home Grounds on the same basis as all other im¬ 
provements or new construction. This permits the 
owner to make a complete planting without immediate 
cash outlay.
