LANDSCAPE 
SERVICE 
S LANDSCAPE designers, we are anxious that 
you should have the maximum use and enjoyment 
from your home-grounds. We have had many years 
of practical experience and can help you with any or all 
of your planting problems. Just telephone us for an 
appointment or send us a note. We shall be glad to call to 
make suggestions or offer advice. 
Many of the fine homes and estates of Monmouth 
County and our prize-winning exhibits at the New York 
Flower Show reflect something of the kind of work of 
which we are proud. You can have the advantages of our 
experience in solving all sorts of landscape problems. 
We are well equipped to draw plans and submit esti- 
mates on all kinds of landscape work. This service is 
rendered free, except where elaborate plans, sketches and 
trips are required, in which case a small fee is charged. 
This charge will, of course, be credited to the customer’s 
account when the order is placed. 
FOR APPOINTMENTS phone 
Long Branch 2587 or drop us a card and 
we will be glad to call on you to make 
suggestions or offer advice.

building up a collection of plants which 
enables us to fill almost any order on short 
notice. Keep your garden modern with the 
tested novelties from our Nursery.

Gardens and 
The Defense Program 
In these confused times gardening is an 
ideal method of escape from the mad con- 
fusion of things about us. Truly, there is 
something refreshing and inspiring to be 
derived from working in the soil. We do not 
want to be sentimental but we believe that 
you will get great benefits from close contact 
with nature. 
In addition to the spiritual uplift which we 
all get from gardening, there is the added return of vegetables 
and flowers. Indeed, it gives all of us a great sense of pride 
to show our friends the fruits of our labor. So let’s garden 
ardently this year to help keep our sense of balance. 
War or no war, the ever-changing cycles of nature run 
their course. Each spring the flowering bulbs thrust their 
sturdy spikes of bloom through the moist earth. Early summer 
brings the Rose and the Larkspur and a hundred-and-one 
other favorites. Midsummer brings us pleasant days for 
outdoor living. Autumn with its glorious pageant of colors 
brings us gay annuals, brilliant Chrysanthemums and the 
changing foliage; the first hard frost puts an end to active 
growth. Each year this glorious cycle repeats itself undimmed 
by the madness of men.
