S HADY LAWN saw its beginning in 1860, not 
as a nursery but a fruit growing project. 
Carved out at that time from an Oak forest, 
the founder, Henry Newton, was farsighted enough 
to leave standing many Oak trees, some of them 
probably several hundred years old. Then in about 
1875, the home grounds and roadways were beau¬ 
tifully lined out in Maple trees. Spacious roadways 
were artistically arranged; thanks to the founder 
for also planting trees upon the public highway 
at that time. In 1906 Shady Lawn was renamed 
Shady Lawn Nursery, Hugo Kind. Whereupon the 
grounds (35 acres) were planted in a large variety 
of garden and landscape plants and shrubs. From 
then on the grounds have been rearranged with 
pools, plantings, and unusual ornaments. Visit 
Shady Lawn Nursery and stroll around under its 
always cool and breezing trees. You will find it 
different. 
Cranes in a Pond 
For several years we endeavored to procure garden 
birds that could be sold at a reasonable price and also 
made of such material that they can be left in the open 
without damage. Here we are offering two handsome 
birds made by an expert who has given them a living 
effect. White body, Chinese red bill. Legs and entire 
body including neck is reinforced with steel. 
As pictured above: Figure on right, height over all 25 
inches. Figure on left, height over all, 19 inches. 
EACH $3.50. SET OF TWO, EACH TYPE, $7.00
