as YOUR ORDER FOR the mater’:l on the PLANTING LIST totals 
$40.00 within ONE YEAR after ihe date of OUR ESTIMATE, the 
original $10.00 payment will be placed TO YOUR CREDIT, or if 
a larger PLAN is DESIRED, 20% of the amount WILL BE CREDITED

be AGREED UPON when a preliminary SURVEY IS MADE. 
WE WILL WORK WITH YOU 
To develop a Landscape Design to fit your individual place and 
POCKETBOOK, embodying your OWN IDEAS and suggestions, you 
deal with ONLY ONE FIRM for the complete job, as we usually fur- 
nish the Plan, supply the PLANTS and OVERSEE the setting and 
entire work. Having our own Nurseries and the Nursery Stock, we 
recommend and SUPPLY YOU with such Trees AS we know will do 
well under CERTAIN soil and climatical conditions. When you 
buy from us you are dealing with a reliable firm, not with some 
jobber, who buys his plants here and there, sometimes using inferior 
Stock to complete a job, 
PLANT AS YOU ARE ABLE 
It is not necessary to CARRY OUT THE complete Plan AT ONE 
TIME but before beginning, IN ALL CASES, there should BE A 
PLAN, the ultimate development of which is TO BE THE AIM of 
all work on THE PROPERTY. 
GET JOY OUT OF LANDSCAPE GARDENING 
One of the greatest joys of Gardening is in the planting of some- 
thing new and watching it from day to day as it unfolds new 
beauty. It is true that certain features of your garden are perman- 
ent. Your Shade Trees, for instance, provide background for the 
setting, and frame the picture of your Home. Other features of 
the Garden may be changed from year to year to create new interest 
and continue to be a source of joy to the planter. 
PERSONAL VISIT ADVISABLE 
We particularly advise that one of our Landscape Architects make 
a personal visit to your property if you live in South Texas or South- 
western Louisiana. Although we are sure our plans handled through 
the mail will be satisfactory, it is only natural that better results 
can be obtained through a personal survey. 
MAKE YOUR GARDEN UP-TO-DATE 
We also re-arrange old Grounds, giving them an artistic touch; 
remove or harmonize discordant features; remodel the deformed 
and make the commonplace beautiful. 
No matter where you live the plants that we will recommend 
for your Garden will include only those which will thrive in your 
locality, and we try to make your garden up-to-date by including 
some of the newer and different ornamentals in your planting. 
ALL TYPES OF GARDENS 
should be enclosed and all are increased in beauty if they have large 
shrubs and trees surrounding them to break the skyline. Care 
should be taken to place the trees so that they will not shade the 
entire garden, yet one or two shady spots will not be of disadvan- 
tage for they admit the use of many desirable shade loving plants. 


Suggested Arrangement for Border Group. 
The above illustrates proper arrangment for shrubs in a mixed 
Border Planting. Along back (Keys 1, 2, 3, and 6) use Tall Ever- 
greens and Flowering Shrubs. In Center of Group (Keys 10, 9, 12, 
4 and 5) use Medium Bushy Growing Evergreens, and Flowering 
Shrubs. In the foreground (Keys 7 and 11) use low Spreading 
Evergreens, 
MUNICIPAL AND PUBLIC PLANTING 
We prepare topographical plans with gradelevels, for City Parks, 
Cemeteries, City Additions, Court House Grounds, and all large 
Landscape undertakings. We treat any property requiring artistic 
development, whether it be the modest city or suburban home, the 
largest country estate, summer hotel, country club, sanitarium, 
school, college, factory or avenue. The cost of surveys, plans, etc. 
is nominal, and scheduled in proportion to the size of the grounds 
of the proposed development. Your inquiries are solicited and each 
will receive our careful attention.
