Planning 
and 
Planting 
Twenty years ago the general practice in planting the small property 
was to place specimen plants hodge-podge in the most conspicuous 
places on the grounds with little thought of final appearance and utility 
of the planting as a whole. 
Today we are concerned with the best use that can be made with 
trees and plants, through proper planning, to attain both utility and 
beauty. Front lawns, entrances, foundations, borders, service areas, 
private areas (the Outdoor Living Room) in the rear, flower gardens, 
fruit and vegetable gardens, all must be tied into a complete and unified 
picture by intelligent planning at the start. 
Many houses particularly in cities, towns, and suburban districts are 
placed on small lots, and here, even more than on larger places, is 
care ful planning needed to produce the effect of spaciousness. In fact, 
when a new house is to be built, results would usually be much more 
satisfactory if a re I iabl e landscape authority were consulted about the 
placing of house and garage on the property for^the best ultimate use of space and most attractive 
appearance when building and planting are completed. 
We have men experienced in making out comprehensive plans for the small or large property 
and we offer a long list of plant materials necessary in this landscape work. Also, at a small 
additional charge, we do the actual work of planting the trees, shrubs, etc. 
If you already have a plan and wish us to quote on the list of plants needed, we will gladly 
do so. If you do not have a plan and wish to consult with us, your request will bring an early 
visit by our representative. 
Automotive Tree Moving 
Why wait years for small trees to grow up when today you can have a mature tree for shade or 
ornament? For more than a year 
we have been using the equip¬ 
ment illustrated here. We can 
successfully transplant trees up 
to 9" caliper with 6 ft. balls. 
The trees are planted in the fall 
and the following spring you 
have shade where you want it 
and at comparatively low cost, 
for our automotive tree moving 
equipment cuts by at least 50% 
the cost of moving large trees. 
If you are going to plant shade 
trees, you should write us or 
visit our nursery for complete 
details.
