MOSTY BROTHERS NURSERIES 
‘With pleasure we desire to thank all our customers 
of the past for their patronage and good will, which 
has made us successful during more than 46 years in 
Kerr County. We feel that we need no introduction 
to the people of the Hill Country of Texas. 
During the last three decades, we have made a specialty 
of growing the newest and choicest evergreens, orna- 
mental trees, shrubs and everything for the beautifying 
of the home grounds, public buildings, parks, etc. We 
have the most complete assortment of choice and scarce 
‘evergreens growing in Texas. We have a stock of more 
than 500,000 evergreens in more than 100 varieties; thou- 
sands of roses and fruit trees suitable to our soil and 
climate. 
The favorable soil rich in minerals; climatic condi- 
tions, due to our altitude and dry atmosphere, make 
our evergreens and all plants, etc., much hardier than 
those grown in a warmer and more humid climate. 
Time-tested policies and methods and the wealth of 
individual accumulated experience, gathered during more 
than 46 years of successful operation in Southwest Texas, 
combine to enable us to offer our products in full con- 
fidence to both professional and amateur alike. 
The difference in cost between good evergreens, trees, 
etc., and poor ones is slight yet once they are planted. 
the character of the landscape and orchard is fixed, 
neither fertility of soil, water, care or expense can lift 
it to the level which original quality would have made 
possible. A sickly blooming rose or shy bearing tree, 
a thin branched, poor specimen evergreen is but a 
living disappointment. The buyer must rely upon the 
professional knowledge and experience of the men op- 
erating the nursery. 
“As the planting, so shall the harvest be.” 
TERMS CASH on or before delivery payable at 
Kerrville, Texas, or Center Point, Texas. 
INSPECTION CERTIFICATE of health from the 
state will be on every shipment. All stock is native 
grown and adapted to our soil and climate. 
OUR LANDSCAPE SERVICE 
There never was a true home without a garden. The 
green plant growing in an ash can in city tenement, the 
wan bloom so tenderely reared in the shadowed prison 
cell, the fountained and terraced estates of kings, all 
express alike our human need for the companionship 
of nature. 
Our landscape service will solve your problem quick- 
ly, correctly and even more economically. The amount 
you spend is of less importance than what you plant 
and where you plant it. For instance, $75.00 worth of 
evergreens, trees, etc., properly selected and correctly 
placed about your grounds will produce effects you may 
not be able to equal, although you spend several times 
that amount; and using plants adapted to the purpose 
will increase in value and beauty with age. For the av- 
erage planting, we will be glad to advise you in laying 
out and planning your grounds in a pleasing way. For 
this service,-we make no charge if we furnish the plant- 
ing material. 
We maintain the services of competent landscape 
architects. These men all have college degrees in their 
profession, plus years of practical experience. Some of 
them have had experience with the National Park Serv- 
ice, as well as having been employed on landscape proj- 
ects for public institutions. These men are capable of
