n scienTific SERVICE 
Occasionally a beautiful lawn or garden may be produced without any definite 
program of maintenance. But generally the maintenance program, to be effective, 
must be adjusted to the growth conditions existing, supplementing favorable con¬ 
ditions and correcting those which are not conducive to best results. 
We offer our patrons the most complete and effective Garden Service available, 
Under the direction of Dr. J. F. Fonder, soil technologist and plant physiologist, 
with years of experience in analyzing growth conditions and preparing efficient 
maintenance programs, this service provides a really scientific approach to your 
garden problems. It can supply a logical working basis and guide for the home 
owner, the professional gardener, the landscape contractor, the professiona 1 land¬ 
scape architect, or the park superintendent. 
I C0HIPLCT6 SERVICE 
1. An inspection and analysis of existing growth conditions as concerns shading, 
ventilation, drainage, and the like. 
2. A soil survey and analysis to determine the areas involved, differences in soil 
type, and the supply of available plant food in the soil in different locations. 
3. The submission of a suggested program of maintenance covering an explana- 
ion of adverse growth factors with possible remedial measures. 
A follow-up service to adjust the program to changing conditions. 
During the past six years this service has aided many engaged in maintenance 
and construction work to secure better lawns and gardens and to avoid wasted 
effort and needless expenditures. It is offered to our patrons to assist them in 
securing the best possible results from our products. Those customers too far 
removed from Evanston to make an inspection possible, or where the program 
will not justify an inspection will, upon request, be sent full instructions for 
submitting soil samples and other information needed in formulating a maintenance 
program. 
Since our business is being built upon the foundation of Better Service to our 
customers it follows that the products we sell must be good or our Service will 
mean nothing. Careful thought and observation, guided by a scientific apprecia¬ 
tion of the fundamentals required in garden supplies of various types, govern us 
in the selection of the products we recommend. We believe this can mean much to 
our patrons.
