GET JOY OUT OF LANDSCAPE 
WHICH—would you choose? 
LANDSCAPE PLANTING 
GARDENING 
One of the greatest joys of Gardening 
it in the planting of something new and 
watching it from day to day as it unfolds 
new beauty. It is true that certain fea¬ 
tures of your garden are permanent. 
Your Shade Trees, for instance, provide 
background for the setting, and frame 
the picture of your Home. Other fea¬ 
tures of the Garden may be changed 
from year to year to create new interest 
and continue to be a source of joy to 
the planter. 
Of course you would choose the well 
planted place! Trees, shrubs, flowers and 
vines create an atmosphere of comfort, hap¬ 
piness and prosperity. Today, well planted 
grounds are the fashion. 
Make your grounds more 
beautiful this year. A new 
tree or two, or possibly a 
few shrubs, plants and vines 
will add new beauty and in¬ 
terest. Come to us for help 
and advice with your spring 
planting. 
A WELL-LANDSCAPED dwelling gives out a perpetual smile. Winter and 
summer alike—to its owner’s family, and every passing stranger—it radiates 
auiet, JOY, refinement. 
IT NEED NOT BE a large elaborate dwelling: A cottage, even more than 
a castle, needs A BECOMING SETTING. Neither is much room needed. 
On the contrary, never is the Landscape Architect’s touch more wonderful— 
or needed—than in making the utmost of A NARROW OR SHALLOW LOT. 
AT YOUR SERVICE 
To meet these VARYING CONDITIONS and insure success for our custo¬ 
mers. all our men have ability IN THIS LINE, and in addition TO THEM, 
we are in DIRECT COMMUNICATION with all leading Landscape Architects, 
and can easily refer you TO SOMEONE BEST QUALIFIED to handle your 
problems, regardless of WHERE YOU MAY LIVE. 
TO ASSIST NATURE 
“LAYING OUT GROUNDS, as it Is called, may be considered as A 
LIBERAL ART, in some sort like POETRY and PAINTING: and its object, 
like that of all the liberal arts, is or ought to be, to move the affections 
under the control OF GOOD SENSE; but speaking with more PRECISION, 
It is TO ASSIST NATURE in moving the AFFECTIONS of those who have 
the DEEPEST PERCEPTION of the beauty of Nature.”—William Wordsworth. 
LANDSCAPERS IN DEMAND 
So rapidly have we Americans come to appreciate this “outdoor HOUSE¬ 
KEEPING” that every Nursery and Landscape Architect Is being TAXED 
TO THE UTMOST to keep up with the DEMANDS ALTHOUGH, compared 
with the results, the outlay is really trifling. Ten per cent, or often but 
five per cent of the COST-VALUE of any improved PROPERTY, when 
Judiciously invested in Landscape Service may add TEN TIMES ITS COST 
to the sale or rental VALUE OF THE PLACE. 
LANDSCAPING AN INVESTMENT 
We have YET TO MEET the owner who ever regretted such an INVEST¬ 
MENT—where he had UNDERTAKEN this improvement under competent 
tdvice and DEALT DIRECT with reliable, established Growers. Even one great 
towering Shade Tree—what a restful DELIGHT IT IS! Worth hundreds of 
dollars. Yet not impossible to purchase by simply PLANNING FOR IT. 
WE WILL WORK WITH YOU 
To develop a Landscape Design to fit your individual place and POCKET- 
BOOK, embodying your OWN IDEAS and suggestions, you deal with ONLY 
ONE FIRM for the complete job, as we usually furnish the Plan, supply 
the PLANTS and OVERSEE the setting and entire work. Having our own 
Nurseries and the Nursery Stock, we recommend and SUPPLY YOU with 
such Trees AS we know will do well under CERTAIN soil and elimatical 
conditions. When you buy from us you are dealing with a reliable firm, 
not with some jobber, who buys his plants here and there, sometimes using 
inferior Stock to complete a job. 
THE IMPORTANCE OF LANDSCAPE 
The aim of Landscape Design is to produce the MAXIMUM OF BEAUTY 
consistent with utility. To attain THIS RESULT, it is usually best to 
secure THE SERVICES of a Landscape Architect, whose assistance will not 
only serve TO AVOID ERRORS but will also save EXPENSE AND TIME. 
KNOWLEDGE NEEDED 
There is OFTENER disappointment from lack of soil-knowledge, than 
from any cause outside skilled PLANNING. Some shrubs particularly re¬ 
quire "sour” soils, and others “sweet” or alkaline. Some want “wet feet.” 
others a DRY KNOLL; some shade and other protection, and lots of "indi¬ 
viduals” REQUIRE ELBOW-ROOM, preferring to stand ALONE, or do- 
manding more favorable CLIMATIC CONDITION.
