Our Clients Say— 
The conservation of natural beauties from 
a scientific and cultural point of view is, 
without doubt, one of the important steps 
of modern civilization. Mr. Vick by his 
diligent and careful studies has materially 
aided this undertaking. His realistic crea- 
tions of wild gardens, his preservation of 
rare botanical specimens and his superior 
flare for artistic landscaping, have produced 
counltess gems of natural beauty. 
It is particularly invigorating in this day 
of turmoil, that Mr. Vick is capable of 
bringing to many of us something lasting. 
Those of us who have been fortunate enough 
in having Mr. Vick transform a dingy cor- 
ner into a garden spot, or an eroded creek 
into an entrancing dell, have realized a 
genuine and real ‘‘Return to nature.’’ 
ETHEL ROYAL HASSRICK 
“*Oakwood’’ 
Wenonah, New Jersey. 
The wild garden and small pool you built 
for me have been much admired for their 
artistic arrangement. The birds seem to 
approve of them also, as a home and bath- 
ing place. 
ANNA GRISCOM ELKINTON, 
(Mrs. J. Passmore Elkinton). 
I found your work on my little woodland 
path very satisfactory and have no criti- 
cism to make. 
M. M. TOWNSEND, 
(Mrs. John Barnes Townsend). 
The little rock pool with evergreens around 
it has given me a very great deal of pleas- 
ure and delight. It has been something to 
look at that was cool and green and restful 
in the midst of the summer heat. 
With much appreciation of your work,

ALICE H. BIRCH, 
110 Harvey St., 
Germantown, Penna. 
In regard to your letter asking for any 
criticism I might have. I have none to 
make of your service. It seems to be 
excellent. The things I think are important, 
aside from good plant material, are: being 
notified of the receipt of my order, and 
delivery being made at the time I state 
or notice sent me to the contrary. These 
things your company does and I have been 
very much pleased with the plants. 
(Miss) ELIZABETH CROSMAN, 
Garden Consultant, 
Oaks, Pennsylvania. 
The naturalistic planting which you made 
for me last spring has transformed the 
least attractive corner of my property into 
what is now the section of greatest interest 
and charm. With its sheltered location and 
good exposure, I am anticipating the coming 
of another spring with much pleasure. 
WILLIAM A. SHRYOCK, 
48 Harvey Street, 
Germantown, Penna. 
We have certainly enjoyed the small wild 
garden you put in for us very much. It 
has been a constant pleasure for us. 
RAYMOND WATROUS, 
215 Avon Road, 
Narberth, Penna. 
I am writing to say that the work you 
have done on the trees at my home at Val- 
ley Forge has been entirely satisfactory. 
You have my permission to give such pub- 
lication to this letter as you see fit. 
JOSEPH NEFF EWING, 
Valley Forge, Penna. 
Thank you very much for the naturalistic 
effect you have given my woodland with 
your planting of native, deciduous shrubs, 
ferns and wild flowers. This fall I would 
like you to put in more wild flowers, par- 
ticularly the yellow lady’s-slipper. 
DR HARRY CBEST; 
Devon, Penna. 
As I look at the St. John’s Wort and the 
Wild Senna—still yellow and the blue and 
red of the Lobelia and the shape and color 
of the ferns and the strong growing, bud- 
ding Azaleas all as planted and actually no 
losses—I realize as to your line, you have 
made a gardener’s dream come true. I 
thank you. 
EDWARD F. COBB, 
510 Merwyn Rd., 
Narberth, Penna. 
I am writing to say how much we have 
enjoyed the wild garden that you planted 
for us under a group of trees. In March 
and April when the rest of the garden is 
still wintry, it is a delight to watch the 
succession of earliest wild flowers, ending 
with a carpet of Trillium. We like your 
idea of planting ferns among the flowers 
for they give us green until Christmas. 
(Miss) ELIZABETH B. GENDELL, 
320 Maple Avenue, 
Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania. 
As it has been about a year since the 
work at Pine Creek Farm under your direc- 
tion has been completed, and the results 
have been so satisfactory, I want to take 
this opportunity of expressing Mr. Martin’s 
and my appreciation of your services. The 
rock pool has been very much admired, and 
Mr. Martin says the conversion of a very 
poor lawn at the west end of the house 
into a wild garden has been the most sat- 
isfactory thing we have yet attempted. I 
wish you could drop in and look at it 
some time before the winter sets in. 
MRS. CARL MARTIN. 
I have been delighted with your planting 
and suggestions and expect next spring to 
look with joy at my small woodland garden. 
Your plants have been very healthy, even 
the more difficult ones have done well.
