Before and 
After 
Here is a simple sugges- 
tion for a pleasing founda- 
tion planting. The two pic- 
tures tell the whole story. 
The finished picture is good 
evidence of simple and 
tasteful planting. No effort 
has been made to make a 
solid mass of evergreen 
growth across the front and 
side of the house. Rather, 
plants have been introduced 
to soften the lines of this 
attractive house and to help 
make it a part of the land- 
scape. Let us tell you what 
we can do to improve your 
planting. 

Visit Our Sales and Display Grounds 
on Paterson Avenue, East Rutherford, New Jersey

HOW TO USE PLANTS 
What, Where and When to Plant 
Very often we have heard our customers say that 
it is worth $1.00 to be told where to plant a $1.00 
shrub. Our attendants, trained horticulturists, are 
always glad to give whatever advice you request. 
Your problem may be one of a simple design for ma- 
terial in a foundation setting or one involving more 
elaborate plans for larger areas. We invite you to 
make use of this service.
