OUR NEW CATALOG 
Landscape Architecture has been defined as “The art 
of fitting land for human uses and enjoyment, in such 
a way as to combine the greatest amount of beauty with 
the maximum utility.” 
In arranging our catalog we have aimed to practice 
what we preach. We would like to combine a little 
beauty and useful information with our necessary listing 
of plants for sale. 
We have changed the size of this new catalog to better 
fit the pocket, and have changed the arrangement some¬ 
what. We hope that you will like it. 
We have put all shrubs together, arranged alpha¬ 
betically according to their botanical names. With a few 
exceptions the names conform to the recommended “Stan¬ 
dardized Plant Names.” To help you locate shrubs wanted 
of a certain height we have indicated each shrub’s average 
mature height in feet by a figure at the right of each 
name. As we are specializing somewhat in native ma¬ 
terial we have indicated all native plants with an “N.” at 
the right of each name. 
You will note that we have added many new plants 
this year. Our aim is to eventually grow a complete as¬ 
sortment of trees and shrubs which are suitable for 
planting in Colorado. We are continually searching for 
new and better plants which will be hardy here, and 
each year from our trials we add a few new ones and dis¬ 
card a few inferior ones. 
If you do not find listed here all the things that you 
want, let us know, as we have small numbers of many 
things not listed, and can usually get for you almost any¬ 
thing worth while that you may want. 
On each page we have emphasized one outstanding 
plant to which we wish to call your especial attention. 
« 
With few exceptions, all plants listed here are now 
growing in our nursery, and will be freshly dug and 
promptly delivered only as ordered. We do not make a 
practice of handling shipped-in plants. 
The information given in our lists and descriptions 
is based on an intimate acquaintance with plant material 
and conditions in Colorado, gained through a period of 
many years’ experience. We aim to have it accurate 
and reliable. We have omitted sales talk so far as pos¬ 
sible and believe that every plant lover will find it of 
benefit to read this catalog through and keep it for future 
reference.
