Foreword 
I N EVERY community there are houses of wood, of briek, and of 
stone. People live in such houses year after year, but they are 
houses only. They lack the surroundings of real homes. Shade 
trees, flowering shrubs, roses have a part, and a large part, in making 
the real homes that are the joy of all true citizens. 
Progressive and home-loving people make the surroundings of the 
house a place of quiet, restful beauty. They have realized the impor¬ 
tance of proper planting of the grounds, and the phrase “It’s not a Home 
until it’s Planted” has been adopted and put into practice by thousands 
of home-owners in America. Comfort and beauty continue to pay 
large dividends, even though other investments slip away. 
Eortunately, we have been able to assist in the movement to make 
“America More Beautiful and Eruitful.” Eor many years we have 
supplied progressive planters with the materials needed to transform a 
house into a home. Each year we have endeavored to improve our 
production methods and thus improve the quality of the trees and shrubs 
offered. Our customers tell us we have succeeded—and our customers 
are critical and capable judges. 
While this Catalogue is not large in size or number of pages, you 
may rest assured that all items listed are the best that can be produced, 
that our prices are reasonable, and that our service is unsurpassed. We 
shall be happy to serve you at any time.
