An Invitation 
Ji 
To Visit Our Nurseries 
• any thousands of visitors to Washington, D. C., each year admire the 
magnificent public buildings, and marvel at the appearance of age and perma¬ 
nence which the plantings have given them in so short a time. It has been our 
privilege to assist in this work of softening the harsh outlines of newly com¬ 
pleted stone structures by blending into them the mellow maturity of speci¬ 
men trees and plant material. A large number of the federal buildings and 
parks in the nation’s capital have been planted by us. 
Not less interesting in its results is the painstaking development of private 
estates, which preserves and enhances the natural beauties by adding only such 
plantings as will adapt themselves congenially to the existing surroundings. 
In our Nurseries, located on the Frederick Pike, two miles north of Rock¬ 
ville, Maryland, several hundred acres are devoted to the culture and propa¬ 
gation of a wide variety of landscape material suitable for every type of plant¬ 
ing. We extend to you a most cordial invitation to visit these Nurseries, where 
you will find specimen trees, evergreens, flowering shrubs, roses, and perennials 
in profusion. 
This map will assist you in 
visualizing our location, which 
is within easy driving distance 
of the capital.
