LANDSCAPE PLANNING 
F you wish to have a beautifully planted home; one that you will 
be proud to share and enjoy with your friends, by all means 
start out with a definite planting plan on paper even if you cannot 
complete the entire job at one time. By proceeding in this manner, 
each unit of the planting such as the garden, lawns and the service portion 
will have its proper relationship with each other. There will be unity 
and coherence; the requisites of good design in all forms of art. 
Perhaps you do not have the time or inclination to do your own 
planning and designing. If so, we shall be very happy indeed to have one 
of our experienced men call and talk over your planting with you and 
submit a suitable plan. There is absolutely no obligation on your part. 
Our representatives have had many years practice in this work and not 
only are able to draw up an attractive and workable plan, but also are 
well acquainted with all the various types of plant material and the loca¬ 
tions and soils which they prefer. Because of this knowledge, they may be 
able to save you considerable expense and disappointment. 
We most earnestly recommend that you engage the services of a 
Landscape Architect if your problem is an especially difficult one or if 
your grounds are at all extensive. In these cases, a trained architect can 
make your money go the furthest and you will be sure of having a land¬ 
scape treated with the greatest skill and best of taste. Many of the illus¬ 
trations in this booklet are of gardens designed by Landscape Architects and 
attest to their ability. But, no matter who does the planning, decide on 
a satisfactory design and carry it out! If you wish to be your own de¬ 
signer, there are many good books on the subject which we shall be glad 
to tell you about.
