FROM OUR CASH AND CARRY 
SALES GROUNDS 
We have selected from over 1,000,000 plants, choice evergreens, shrubs 
and vines—and offer them in our cash and carry sales yard. 

MAKE YOUR OWN SELECTION: 
For you who want to do your own planting, or buy an occasional plant, or get the best plants for the least money, 
here is an opportunity to make your selections from a choice collection of evergreens—ornamental and flowering 
trees, shrubs, vines, and perennial and annual flowers. 
PLANTS IN BLOOM: Besides carrying a large variety of annuals and perennials blooming in pots, we have hun- 
dreds of flowering small trees, shrubs and vines, planted in tubs long before the growing season begins—sometimes 
a year in advance—so that we can offer them to you in full bloom and in good growing condition. 
These plants may be planted any time, in perfect safety, because they have withstood the shock of transplant- 
ing when they were planted in the tubs, and it is not necessary to disturb the roots when transferring them to the 
ground. 
Make your own color selection while the plants are in bloom—take them home with you, and enjoy the blooms 
this season. 
BARE ROOT TREES AND SHRUBS: During the spring months before the leaves come out, and later in the fall, we 
offer a complete selection of dormant plants at very reasonable prices. The roots of these plants are not exposed 
to the sun and wind, but are carefully heeled in in the ground, so they will be kept in a live, healthy condition. 
Here you may pick out the individual plants you like—and they will be fresh and moist when we wrap them 
for you. 
EVERGREENS: Carefully dug evergreens—the roots of which are undisturbed in a ball of earth held in place 
by the burlap which is tightly sewed around it—are offered in our Sales Grounds at "rock-bottom’’ prices. There 
are many varieties from which you may choose. You may take the small ones with you, and any larger plants 
will be delivered anywhere in the vicinity of Chicago for very little additional cost. 
WOULD YOU LIKE PLANT LAYOUT SUGGESTIONS? When you come out to the Sales Grounds bring photo- 
graphs or sketches of your grounds, and a member of our trained staff of designers will be glad to help you by 
offering suggestions as to what plants to use and how to group them for best results. 
GARDEN SUPPLIES: Grass, flower and vegetable seeds, spray materials, fertilizers, a selected line of garden 
tools and equipment, garden furniture and an interesting line of pottery are also carried, so that here you may take 
care of all your garden needs. 
DRIVE OUT TODAY—today or any day. We are open week-ends, and you are always welcome.
