PLANT LARGE 
DON’T WAIT — PLANT 
SPECIMENS 
Daily we come in contact with people 
who have built or are building large 
homes, and they desire to plant Shrubs 
that will give an immediate effect—some¬ 
thing that cannot be secured through the 
planting of the average Nursery sizes. 
One well-shaped specimen will take the 
place of several smaller plants, and give 
lasting satisfaction. The number of small 
plants will soon grow up, and when they 
are large they will give an over-crowded 
appearance. 
During the past few years we have made 
a specialty of growing specimen shrubs 
in a wide variety to take care of the ever- 
increasing demands. 
Camellia Japonica 
A large Camellia, perhaps 50 years old, can be 
moved successfully and produce a hundred times 
as many flowers as a smaller one. 
AS THOUSANDS PASS 
YOUR DOOR 
Who would fail to draw deep content 
from a home made a part of its surround¬ 
ings by a background of stately trees and 
a setting of green Shrubbery to soften the 
hard architectural lines of masonry or 
frame? A tastefully decorated interior 
is a source of pride. Multiply by the hun¬ 
dreds, the numbers of guests who enjoy 
the indoor charm of your house, and you 
will approximate the number who share 
the beauty of your grounds. Whether it 
be a snug little cottage with a garden, or 
an impressive suburban estate, either might 
be desolately bare or set among graceful 
trees and shrubs. 
“IT’S NOT A HOME UNTIL IT’S 
PLANTED” 
The delights of home ownership are 
largely governed by the life and spirit of 
the abode. No deep attachment exists in 
inanimate objects unless embodied with 
living growing things. 
Often one sees a house that covers most 
of the homesite, surrounded with little, if 
any, lawn or growing things. Such houses 
give the idea of a one-sided life—an in¬ 
side life, not broad and cheering as the 
home plot well developed can give. 
Plan for a lawn and garden, for it will 
give your home both “life” and “breath”. 
GRIFFING’S SOUTHERN 
SELECTIONS 
When the grass begins to lose its Irish 
tinge and the flower garden fades to a 
dead brown, only the Evergreens stand in 
full color against the sombre skies—then 
it is one can truly appreciate a garden in 
w’hich are planted some of the stately Con¬ 
ifers, with the graceful Broadleaf Ever¬ 
greens. 
The tall, slender Cannarti Redcedars 
are perhaps the most attractive of the 
Coniferous family. This graceful tree may 
be used at either side of the front en¬ 
trance, at corners, or against a wall space 
where there are no windows. 
Avenue of Azaleas 
A gorgeous sight in full bloom.
