den dreams” come true is to begin

Let us comie to your home and talk 
it over. We’ll help you decide on 
what and where to plant. 
CONSIDER TLx. BIRDS 
To provide a bird’s sanctuary 
in your plantings, and add trees, 
shrubs and vines which will att¬ 
ract these feathered friends, does 
not mean that beauty of design 
must be sacrificed. On the con¬ 
trary, a charming bird bath amiid 
shrubs and flowers becomes a de¬ 
lightful addition to the garden.. 
and the plants which bear color¬ 
ful fruits are a cheery note 
during the drab winter months. To 
afford the birds protection 
against winter winds include 
evergroens in the border..when 
snow covers the ground the birds 
eri.ioy the fruits of such attract¬ 
ive plants as Japanese Barberry, 
Flowering Dogwood, Bittersweet, 
Honeysuckles, fountain nsh. Snow- 
berry and the Viburnums. Invite 
the birds to your garden by add¬ 
ing some of these plants to your 
borders. 
You are cordially,invited to 
vi^it our Nurseries whenever it- is 
convenient for you. 7/e are locat¬ 
ed on the Dansville-Nount Dorris 
Highway, Route .''56, four miles 
from the village of Dansville.

i EVLRGk-.ENS 
.evergreens lend an atmosphere 
of security and corn-fort when they 
I are planted about the foundation

I chitectural beauty of the house, 
! especially at the doorwa^^. The

I clamation uoints in the background 
I The larger tj^-pes develop into 
I beautiful lawn specimens. There 
i are also v.- rieties adapted to 
j hedge plantings alons* walks, 
i drives and boundaries. In fact, 
i you’ll find-that there is a type 
j of evergreen suitable for prac- 
I tically every purpose, 
j Spring is a good time to plant 
i overffreens. They have the whole 
I grow-ing season in which to make 
i nev; roots and set established, 
i All varieties of evergreens move 
i well at this time. 
I According to the progress of 
I the season, they can be moved 
j with little setback up to the 
i time when the new shoots are 
I starting. They can be moved even 
I later by experi-3nced planters, 
i though it is sometimes necessary 
I to pinch off part of the soft 
1 shoots, which otherwise might

i provements in your garden, take
