“Day or night, winter or summer, 
this grass is an ever-new delight." 
fit last! We have found a new and perfect lawn grass for the South. jR 
revelation, a revolution in lawn making. 
In shade or in the open. No more unsightly bare spots in lawns. The same 
uniformly soft, velvety, peagreen grass everywhere you want it . . . springy 
and luxuriant ... fit for the feet of a Queen. You walk over it and do not 
feel the hard soil beneath. 
“St. Augustine Grass has no equal as shade grass in Florida or the coastal plain 
of the Southern States. It grows equally well in the sun or shade. If given plenty 
of water and nitrogen fertilizer, it will grow under practically all conditions in 
this section. It is one of the best grasses available for shady places; but, since 
seed is not available, lawns are started vegetatively." (Farmer's Bulletin, U. S. 
Dept, of Agriculture, 1935 Pub.) 
Winter or summer. The same peagreen lawn the year round. No more dead 
lawns in winter; no more expensive rye grass sowing each winter. No more 
will cunning old Jack Frost steal away the beauty of the luxuriant green 
of your lawns. 
Fresh, lively plants. Fresh, lively plants, full of vigor, is important in suc¬ 
cessful quick growing lawns. This feature is too important to overlook, and 
we can furnish this at all times fresh from our own farms. 
What we do. We renovate old lawns with this wonderful new grass, make 
lawns from the ground up, furnish well selected fertilizer and prepared 
loamy soil, or we will sell by the square yard or in bushel baskets, ready 
for you to plant according to directions we will supply. 
Further information, prices, and estimate for new lawns, renovation of old 
lawns, and grass in bulk, are cheerfully furnished upon request. 
No home is complete until it is planted in a garden. Our climatic condi¬ 
tions in the South are most favorable for such a garden, since we have here 
a wealth of trees, shrubs, and flowers with which to make such a garden 
at a reasonable cost. 
Many home-owners, however, are not familiar vrith the kinds of plants 
necessary to make a harmonious effect. It is easy enough to buy a few 
plants and put them in the ground, but the attaining of harmony in colors, 
and the ultimate sizes, adaptation to sun, shade, and temperatures, etc., 
must be carefully considered. 
Our staff of qualified landscape architects is available to help you plan 
your garden. If you live within a few hours' drive, we recommend a per¬ 
sonal visit to your property, for which we make a reasonable charge, in¬ 
cluding the cost of the trip, a complete plan, and a planting-list. 
If interested, write or telephone us, or call us at our nearest Salesyard, 
either Houston or Galveston, or visit our Nursery at Genoa, where not 
only all the trees and plants listed in this Catalogue, but many others, are 
growing. Our salesmen will welcome you and show you our complete line 
of stock.
