THE PARK NURSERIES 
Saint Paul 
HOLM & OLSON, Inc. 
The beauty of appropriate shrub and evergreen plantings add permanently to the charm of this 
attractive home. Developed by Holm & Olson. 
Hardy Shrubs for Flower and Foliage 
Sturdy Varieties for Northern Gardens 
A large area of our nursery and the skill of experienced gardeners is devoted to developing our shrubs into sturdy, handsome 
plants that will quickly bring attractiveness to your home grounds. 
Much of the beauty in the landscape planting of the home yard is supplied by shrubs. Their uses are 
many and the cost is nominal. 
It is the softening grace of the dwarf and medium-height shrubs when planted about the house founda¬ 
tions that creates the transformation from bareness to beauty. The taller shrubs find their proper place as 
specimens in the lawn or in the border along the lot boundaries to give privacy or to screen out unattractive 
views.
