DEPARTMENT 
Open Lawn aind Border Planting 
We Work With You 
This department works with you, to de¬ 
velop a Landscape Design to fit your indi¬ 
vidual place and pocketbook, embodying 
your own ideas and suggestions. You deal 
with only one firm for the complete job, 
as we usually furnish the plan, supply the 
plants and oversee the setting and entire 
work. Having our own nurseries, we 
recommend and supply you with such Trees 
and Shrubs as we know will do well under 
certain soil and climatical conditions. 
When you buy from us you are dealing 
with a reliable firm, not with some jobber, 
who buys his plants here and there, some¬ 
times using inferior stock to complete a 
job. 
The Importance of Planning 
The aim of Landscape Design is to pro¬ 
duce the maximum of beauty consistent 
with utility. To attain this result, it is 
usually best to secure the services of a 
Landscape Architect, whose assistance will 
not only serve to avoid errors but will also 
save expense and time. 
It is not necessary to carry out the com¬ 
plete plan at one time but before beginning, 
in all cases, there should be a plan, the 
ultimate development of which is to be 
the aim of all work done on the property. 
Our staff of Landscape Architects is 
available to help you plan your Garden. 
If you live in South Texas or Southwest¬ 
ern Louisiana, we recommend that you have 
one of our Landscape Architects make a 
personal survey of your property and fur¬ 
nish a comprehensive plan for its land¬ 
scape development.

This is the way to make a sketch of your homesite 
Small Home Grounds. For the average 
city lot, not larger than 75 by 100 feet, if 
you will send us the information as indi¬ 
cated on the sketch above, showing the 
size of the grounds, location of drives, 
walks, permanent buildings, trees already 
on the property, etc., it will enable us t© 
furnish you with a detailed plan, together 
with an itemized list of the plants needed, 
and an estimate of the cost of the plant ma¬ 
terial. All are mailed for your approval. 
The Service Costs Nothing. When you 
send the sketch, with the information 
needed, also send us $10.00. As soon as 
your order for the material on the planting 
list totals $40.00 within one year after 
the date of our estimate, the original 
$10.00 payment will be placed to your 
credit and can be used by you for the 
purchase of additional plants. The cost 
for larger grounds is slightly more in 
proportion to the size of the development, 
and will be agreed upon when a prelimi¬ 
nary survey is made.
