Aside from the joy and pride of 
lovely grounds, trees and shrubs 
are a necessity to the modern home. 
Trees give shade and coolness in 
summer heat; shrubs border the 
grounds and soften the harsh foun¬ 
dations; evergreens give cheer in 
bleak winter; flowers add that col¬ 
or note so necessary to joyful living. 
Ogden Nurseries, Inc. offers to 
customers intelligent and cordial 
service in the preparation of plant¬ 
ing plans for any size of home. 
Trained landscape architects are 
on our staff to consult with patrons 
on their problems and to actually 
prepare planting plans to fit your 
home. Our planning department 
is recognized as outstanding in the 
middle west. Examples of our 
work may be found in cities and 
villages in Illinois and adjoining 
states. 
Our service offered you is two¬ 
fold. If you desire, a landscape 
architect will visit your home, ad¬ 
vise you as to what is needed and 
make an estimate of the complete 
work. The only charge for such 
service is the traveling expenses of

For those whose planting can be 
planned by mail, we offer an in¬ 
expensive planting service. Turn 
to the order blank in the back of 
the book. On the back of this sheet 
is a questionnaire covering infor¬ 
mation needed to make a planting 
plan for you. Follow instructions 
carefully, making a rough dimen¬ 
sioned sketch of your grounds and 
the house outline, note the location 
of important features such as trees, 
walks and changes in level. Ac¬ 
company this sheet with a deposit 
of five dollars as evidence of good 
faith and mail it in to our land¬ 
scape department. We will give 
you a receipt for your deposit, 
crediting it on your first order for 
twenty-five dollars or more. 
Under this plan, your planting 
plan costs you nothing if you pro¬ 
ceed with the work. It solves the 
problem of “what, when and 
where” to plant. 
This little planting plan, for an 
average city house, is simple to ex¬ 
ecute. The cost of the plants is 
little, compared to the value it 
adds to the property. Planting of 
shrubs and trees adds a cool and 
friendly touch in the hot summer 
days, softens the building lines, 
and furnishes a harbor for our 
feathered friends. 
This is merely a sample plan. 
Others can easily be developed 
as attractively at a moderate cost.
