LANDSCAPE GARDENING 
^^The Patterns Woven in the Woof and Web of Man’s Imagination; the 
Coiors Biended by Nature from Her Flowers^ Shrubs, and Trees” 
The true landscape architect is a creator 
of beauty. He summons to his aid the 
physical elements which his artistic sense 
tells him will give form and beauty to the 
mental picture he has conceived. But back 
of it all there must be a common-sense 
plan based on exact knowledge—of en¬ 
gineering, mathematics, architecture, 
physics, building, drainage, and other 
branches of the exact sciences. 
ORGANIZATION 
Such men and such physical 
“properties” are available at 
the Greening Nurseries, which 
are admirably organized and 
always prepared for active 
functioning. 
Some of the largest land¬ 
scaping commissions have been 
executed byGreening’s.Where 
topographical surveys are re¬ 
quired/ where plans are elab¬ 
orate or intricate, complete, in¬ 
telligent service is available. 
As buildings grow old and depreciate, good plantings become more beautiful and valuable. 
Here is an example—a Greening planting of many years ago, now in full maturity. 
lANDSCAPE gardening without high artistic value is 
I — not landscape gardening at all. It must involve the 
element of creative imagination and the man who con¬ 
ceives it must possess creative, as well as artistic, talent. 
He must be a professional man, 
to whose natural bent is added 
years of education and train¬ 
ing. He must also have at his 
beck and call an infinite variety 
of plant life as the wherewithal 
to fashion his scenic picture. 
Where only small gardens are involved landscaping 
service just as effective,- is provided for, especially 
assignments which, because of distance or other condi¬ 
tions, do not call for personal visits. 
Greening's understand sunshine. 
moisture and soils as no amateur gardener does.
