INFORMAL GARDEN 
* 
A delightful plan 
in the informal man- 
ner, is within the 
reach of the average 
home-owner. In plan- 
ning the outdoor liv- 
ing room of informal 
character, avoid stiff, 
hard lines and regu- 
larity, both in lines 
and in plantings. 
HOW WE SERVE YOU... 
In planning a landscape development 
of considerable proportion it is quite es- 
sential that the designer be on the ground 
to note the architecture of existing build- 
ings, and adjoining properties; desirable 
and undesirable views, etc. Our landscape 
men are located in several different cities 
and are easily accessable to almost any 
part of our sales territory. Write us early 
and tell us what landscape development 
you contemplate and it is quite possible 
that we can have a man see you on a 
circuit trip he will be making. 
For foundation plantings, out-door living 
rooms and like small designs, it is not 
necessary to have a man visit you. Write 
us and we will send you a questionnaire, 
which, carefully filled in, with snap shots, 
will enable us to make a design in our 
office. Our landscape service is free to 
cur customers. Write us for full informa- 
tion.

SERVICE AFTER YOU PLANT 
Our interest does not cease when you 
have made your purchase. We insure 
satisfaction with our products by giving 
explicit instructions in our “How to 
_ Plant” booklet which is mailed to every 
customer; and have available on request, 
“How to Care for Trees and Shrubs,” 
“How to Care for Your Roses,” “Spraying 
and Cultural Guides.” We have highly 
trained men in each and every depart- 
ment, men who have had many years of 
training and experience in their particular 
branch of the nursery. The knowledge 
and information they possess, enables us 
to offer you helpful advice on your horti- 
cultural problems. We welcome your in- 
quiries and will endeavor to furnish you 
helpful advice and information.

HOW WE HANDLE AND 
SHIP STOCK 
Our packing building contains 25,000 
square feet of insulated floor space, pro- 
viding a moist, cool cellar condition, 
which provides unexcelled facilities for 
handling and packing out nursery stock. 
All stock is packed to stand more than 
the usual conditions encountered on rail- 
road and truck lines. Water-proof paper 
covers the wet packing material about 
the roots—each bale being then entirely 
covered with burlap and rye straw. We 
have excellent freight, express and truck 
facilities, insuring prompt and speedy 
delivery. 
FOUNDATION PLANNING 
A foundation planting will give the rich- 
ness to the exterior of the home that the 
furniture does to the interior. The archi- 
tectural beauty of the home, especially 
the entrance, can be pleasingly empha- 
sized with a combination of evergreens 
and shrubs. 
Evergreens dignify the doorway and at 
the same time establish a feeling of 
warmth and welcome so desirable at the 
entrance. And the beauty of evergreens 
is permanent. 
In choosing materials for foundation 
planting, it is best to use medium and 
dwarf growing types for permanent ef- 
fects. Plant the taller varieties at the 
corners, at points in the foundation where 
there are no windows, and on each side of 
the entrance. Plant dwarf growers under 
low windows or wherever low plantings 
are desired. 
Between groups of evergreens may be 
planted groups of flowering shrubs to 
give color and variety.
