Lancaster, Pa. LANDSCAPE SERVICE 


Proper Plant Materials Greatly Accent the Beauty 
of any Home---Modest or Pretentious 

The Photograph Above Illustrates Most Impressi vely the Value of Combining Evergreens, Trees 
and Shrubs in a Harmonious Planting 
Here the beauty of the home is not hidden but rather enhanced by its complete and 
beautiful setting of well-selected plant materials properly arranged. 
What otherwise would be monotonous formality is effectively broken by the planting of 
Dwarf Evergreens under the windows, with taller varieties against bare walls, giving an 
atmosphere of warmth in Winter and coolness in Summer. 
The trees in their beauty of irregular form give added grace, and at the same time furn- 
ish shade in the heat of Summer. Groupings of Shrubs offer a continuous bloom as a joy 
from frost to frost. 
The drive is screened from the entrance view, and a setting of Evergreens prevents ob- 
jectionable views from the rear of the house or service yard. 
Completing the picture is the Barberry Hedge planted along the front and sides, rich in 
the brilliance of its colorful leaves and berries in the Fall.

of porches and any offsets; distance to boundary lines in all directions; location of base- 
ment windows; height of foundations and porch; locate principal windows; show position 
of kitchen; locate and name Trees and Shrubbery now on property. 
Show also direction house faces (whether north or south, east or west), terraces 
or grades of any importance, location of walks and driveways with widths of same and 
of ground on both sides, any objectionable views to be hidden and vistas to be retained. 
Please send photograph of property, if possible. 
State whether you want Evergreens or Shrubs for foundation planting; if you have 
any preference in varieties to be included anywhere; when you contemplate planting; 
about how much you wish to expend for plants, so we can suggest a planting that will 
be in keeping with your individual requirements and wishes, and that will be practical 
for your grounds by flourishing under the very conditions existing thereon and in com- 
plete harmony with the entire environment. 
For large operations requiring surveying and much detail work, a charge 
to cover the actual cost for making plans, traveling expenses, etc., will be 
made. The home to be loved must be made lovely.
