Making a Garden 
in New England 
I T HAS often been said that a house is not a 
home until the grounds have been planted. 
Having devoted more than 20 years to the 
growing of trees, shrubs, and perennials, we 
have, by experience, learned to know those 
plants which succeed best in this picturesque 
section of New England. Since we are eager to 
help our clients to use their plants to best 
advantage, we have employed competent 
landscape architects to provide them with 
workable plans for their gardens. 
We are equally interested in the small home- 
garden and in the large estate because the 
owner in each case is eager to have attractive 
home-grounds. 
The building and maintaining oj lawns is one 
of our specialties. IVc can help you to improve 
your lawn or make a new one. 
Our Landscape Contracting Department is 
widely recognized for its expert work in the 
building of roads, walks, garden walls, tennis 
courts, and other forms of landscape work. 
We can furnish the following landscape 
materials: 
Drain Stone, Blue Stone, Blue Stone Dust, Filling, 
Road Gravel, Cinders, Field and Screened Loam, Com¬ 
post, Leaf-Mold, all sizes of Pasture Stone, all kinds 
of Flagging, Sub-soil, Calcium Chloride, and Salt 
Marsh Hay. 
Tree surgery has helped greatly in preserving 
some of the finest old trees in New England. 
If you are fortunate enough to possess great 
specimen trees, you are, no doubt, anxious to 
keep them in vigorous growth. You can feel 
free to consult us about your problems. Our 
men are qualified in the moving, pruning, and 
spraying of all kinds of trees. Since the recent 
hurricane, we have helped many clients to solve 
difficult problems. We are eager to help you.
