COTONEASTER ACUTIFOLIA (Canadian Privet). Handsome, glossy, 
particular needs, as well as a surprisingly reasonable cost estimate covering the items in- 
cluded. These plans are accurately drawn and easy to understand, having brought us many 
words of praise from patrons in all sections. 
If you purchase the planting material from us, and the order 
amounts to $40.00 or more, the $5.00 you have already paid on 
the plan will be applied on the order as a due bill, thus giving 
you this Landscape Service ABSOLUTELY FREE. Or, if you 
prefer a Free Premium to the $5.00 due bill credit, you may take 
advantage of our Free Gifts offered on page 21] of this catalog. 
Where only a foundation planting is desired, we require a $2.50 
remittance, which may be applied as a due bill on an order 
amounting to $25.00 or more. The Landscape Department main- 
tains the right to charge a higher rate where lots of over 75x200 
feet are planned, or to reject plans that are extremely compli- 
cated where we feel that it requires the services of a landscape 
architect right on the grounds. 
For patrons who desire our Landscape Experts to make a per- 
sonal call and inspection of your home grounds, you will be re- 
quired to pay the actual traveling expense, which cannot be 
refunded on the order. In addition, you would pay for the plan 
under our regular terms. 
Our Landscape Department has been created solely to serve 
you, to cooperate with you in giving your home grounds the use- 
fulness and beauty it deserves. We urge you to call on us at any 
time to aid you in creating new beauty, or in solving difficult 
planting problems.

NOTE: After Apiil Ist we cannot guarantee to make prompt 
delivery of plans. We are extremely rushed after this date, and 
usually have so many plan orders ahead that it is impossible to 
promise quick service for plans ordered late. However, we will 
gladly make the plans for orders later in the season. It is to 
your advantage, therefore, to get your Landscape Plan ordered 
early.

PLANTING DIRECTIONS 
FOR SHRUBS 
Any good growing soil is excellent. 
Spade deeply and work down well, 
as you would for a garden crop. 
Keep shrubs 20 to 25 inches away 
from the foundation. Set deeply and 
firmly, the larger growing types 24 
to 36 inches apart, with dwarf vari- 
eties 12 to 18 inches apart. Trim 
back the tops to insure quicker, 
better growth, then keep them culti- 
vated the first year or two, watering 
them in the evening during dry 
spells. After the first year they will 
require little care other than any an- 
nual pruning you may wish to give 
them. Each year’s growth will add 
to the charm of your planting, and to 
the size and quantity of the blooms.
