In 1935 a bleak and concrete walled ice dam in a bare and treeless pasture. By July, 1936, a lovely pool and cascade with natural setting of 
continuous bloom and foliage. By Farr, for Berksveldt Farms, Robesonia, Pa. 
Farr Landscape Service 
Design 
An incorrect planting arrange¬ 
ment can reduce $200 worth 
of plants to a $50 appearance 
and will detract from the prop¬ 
erty, while a skilled arrange¬ 
ment of $100 worth of plants 
can easily create a $500 at¬ 
mosphere of improvement. 
The aim and problem is not 
to plant plants but to beautify 
the premises. When furnishing 
the home it is not a question of 
acquiring as many pieces of furniture as economically as pos¬ 
sible, but of combining good taste with beauty, comfort, and 
utility. The same principle applies to planting the home- 
grounds. 
Even though you may desire to carry out only a small part of 
your general planting scheme each year, it will repay you to 
work according to well-defined and definitely drawn-up plans. 
Farr Landscape Service includes design, selection, estimate, 
delivery, and planting by trained and experienced personnel. 
You can delegate all details to our Landscape Department with 
the confidence that thousands of others have done so before you 
and that each operation is handled in a manner which will en¬ 
courage continued business and recommendation to your friends. 
By this service you avoid “the wrong plant in the wrong place.” 
Call or write us for a personal interview, when our service 
may be more carefully explained. No charge; no obligation; no 
continuous solicitation. 
Maintenance 
Proper pruning, spraying, and 
feeding are as important to 
your garden as is regular lubri¬ 
cation to your car. The longer 
the postponement, the greater 
the cost. 
Improper work is worse than 
none at all. It requires skill, 
experience, and training to 
know, for example, just where 
and how to prune a plant so 
that its growth will be improved 
instead of retarded for several years. Improper spraying can¬ 
not always be detected until it is too late to spray again, or 
until the plants are ruined. 
To provide a dependable maintenance service, we furnish our 
nursery and planting foremen for this purpose during the sum¬ 
mer and winter months. Each of these men is a full-fledged 
foreman with from 5 to 1 6 years’ experience. Any one of them 
can accomplish two or three times as much in a day as the 
inexperienced, and you will know that the work has been done 
correctly. 
Our 128 acres of nursery operations enable us to maintain a 
permanent organization. You can count on us for experienced 
service. Write, phone, or call for further information, without 
charge or obligation. 
The various services, in both design and maintenance, 
performed by our organization must, of necessity, be 
governed by the distance from Wetser Park, by the size 
of the planting, and the total amount involved.
