“BETTER PLANTS 

A visit to our nurseries-will acquaint you with the appearance and 
characteristics of ornamental trees and plants. With the aid of our 
trained nurserymen you may select stock most suited to your garden 
needs. After you inspect the nurseries, the landscape groupings 
and gardens maintained to demonstrate the use of plants, if you 
still desire to have a landscape man come to your home and figure 
on your garden requirements we will be glad to make an appoint- 
ment and give you this service. We make no charge for this land- 
scape call within the city and only enough to cover actual cost out- 
‘side of Seattle. Usually a rough sketch made during the interview is 
all that is necessary for the average home, to enable proper plant-

FOR BETTER GARDENS’ 
Landscaping | 
YOUR HOME 
The ground about your home 
reflects your taste and personali- 
ity just as do the color and fur- 
nishings of your living room. The 
home owner in Washington has at 
his disposal a great many more 
varieties of plants, shrubs and 
trees than are available to gar- 
deners in other parts of the coun- 
try. With this multitude of plant 
materials, it is easy to have a 
most interesting, useful and truly 
beautiful living complement to 
your home. 
ing. In larger gardens, more complicated in design which require a 
detailed plan, a charge to cover actual cost is made. 
The importance of gardening and landscaping is as great today 
as it ever was and perhaps more so as a morale building influence. 
Malmo Nurseries wish to continue the service it has been privileged 
to render in the past. However, because of shortage of labor, we 
ask our customers and future customers to cooperate with us 
through the duration as much as they can by being patient if service 
is somewhat delayed. We will do everything possible to assist you 
We suggest a visit at 
either of our ‘’Drive--in’’ nurseries where courteous trained nursery- 
men will be available to discuss garden problems.

ping. We have had many years experience in handling 
goods of this class and pack to insure arrival at destina-

Should any article prove not true-to-name or fail to start 
growth under proper conditions and care, we will gladly

initial price of the seeds, bulbs or plants involved.

tation—if you send too much we will refund the differ-

SUCCESS IN TRANSPLANTING TREES AND SHRUBS 
Success in transplanting trees and shrubs has its foundation in the 
care given them in the nursery. Our stock is transplanted often to 
insure a fibrous root system close to the plant. 
All evergreens are carefully dug with a solid ball of soil which is 
wrapped with burlap and properly tied to prevent breaking. The 
rich soil in our nurseries is especially adapted to this method of 
handling, thus allowing the transplanting of our evergreens at any 
time of year with the utmost safety. All plants and trees with roots 
balled in soil should be planted in their burlap, so as not to break 
the ball of earth. The top of burlap may be turned back or cut 
off after filling in around the ball with soil. 
In deciduous ornamental trees’ ‘and deciduous flowering shrubs 
and fruit and nut trees, all of which are handled bare root when 
nN 
dormant (balled when they are in leaf), frequent transplanting re- 
sults in a fibrous root system close to the plant or tree. Thus even 
large trees are moved with the greatest success and establish 
themselves rapidly in your garden. This class when handled bare 
root should have the packing material all removed and be planted 
with good soil firmed in with water. 
Note: Size alone does not indicate true value in Evergreens. We 
quote only first class plants developed through scientific handling, 
including frequent transplanting and trimming to become specimens 
in their class. This affords our customers additional value in luxuri- 
ance, symmetry, compactness, vitality and safety in moving, un- 
attainable in plants not thus handled.
