Our Certified Landscape Service 
M ore people are developing a better “Home Life.” They 
are considering more the art of living. In Art and Archi' 
tecture, from clothes to furniture and furnishings, there 
is a rediscovery of the art of enjoying life as we go, and a rc' 
affirmation of the gospel of outdoors. With more interest in the 
home, more people wish to landscape their grounds in an intelli' 
gent and modern way. So, we are helping screen the ugly views, 
make outdoor living rooms, providing a continuation of bloom, 
and such necessary improvements as to transform grounds into 
places of beauty and provide a retreat for a more happy and con' 
tented life. 
The big evergreens planted on the Capitol grounds at Lincoln 
and the beautiful planting about the Joslyn Memorial building 
at Omaha are two outstanding plantings that have given us much 
favorable publicity. Along with the many larger landscapes are 
hundreds of small home grounds and farm home grounds that 
constitute the major part of our efforts along this line. No job is 
too large or too small for us to consider. 
We are pioneers in landscape work in this middle west and 
have helped many of our customers develop their grounds in a 
practical and artistic manner. We have trained men for this pur' 
pose. Also a complete line of stock to develop all kinds of plant¬ 
ings. We are acquainted with the plants that will thrive in your 
locality. 
We do not make plans by mail, but go into the work in an 
exacting manner by being on the grounds—to see the surround' 
ings and to better work in the customers’ ideas. 
We have the best aggregation of talent in the way of expert' 
enced and college trained landscape designers in the mid'west, 
and are thus equipped to handle any kind of landscape construe' 
tion. Every plan for $25.00 or more materials must be sent into 
the office to be approved, regardless of the ability of our man 
who made the plan. This method provides the services of the 
organization for every landscape customer. 
Our nurserymen do not landscape. Our landscape men do not 
work in the growing department. Each man for his special work, 
one grows plants, the other creates pictures. Landscape designing 
is a fine art and demands the highest in artistic ability. We op' 
erate over a large territory and have sufficient calls to be able to 
maintain a high class landscape department and keep trained men 
busy with the landscape work.
