GIVE QUICK RESULTS 
The photograph on the left shows a complete landscape 
job just finished—grading, planting, seeding, walks, and 
The picture below shows the same development only two 
and one half months later—a striking tribute to Daniels’ 
quality plants and landscape service—and to good main- 
tenance after planting.

LANDSCAPE SERVICES 
Through careful, conscientious, econ- 
omical performance we have long en- 
joyed an enviable reputation for the 
furnisting cf the following landscape 
service end materials: 
Landscape Design and Plans 
Planting of Nursery Stock 
Shrub Trimming 
Tree Trimming and Care 
Tree Feeding 
Tree Spraying 
Lawn Building and Renovation 
Stone Walls and Walks 
Rockeries and Pools 
Dirt, Peat and Fertilizers 
Just what we can offer our clients this 
season in the way of landscape and 
planting service is still problematical. 
Our stocks and equipment are without 
equal—but just what our manpower 
situation will be is not certain at this 
early date. Many of our men have been 
able to find their places in the armed 
services and key war industries. 
We seem to be assured of enough men to 
maintain our nursery and our large (and for 
1945 greatly increased) orchard, small fruit 
and vegetable production, and for a normal 
amount of planting for others. It seems ap- 
parent, Kowever, that our services for main- 
tenance and construction work will be some- 
what curtailed. 
We will do the best we can. We hope our 
customers will call on us as in the past and 
we assure them that we will do everything in 
our power to give them whatever help they 
need. It is our patriotic duty, however, to 
give our food production first priority in our 
available manpower. Second will come plant- 
ing of nursery stock, and third, our other 
services. 
Please remember this, though! We 
will greatly appreciate your business. 
We want it, so please let us know soon 
what you have in mind, and we'll do 
everything in our power to furnish you 
the services desired. 
We can serve those best who plan 
with us early—preferably before the 
first bluebird arrives. 


Late Augusit—2} Months Later 
PLANTING NURSERY STOCK 
Most nursery stock can 
be planted in either spring 
or fall with equal success. 
Spring planting starts as 
early as the ground is in 
good ‘‘working” condition. 
Stock may be planted as 
long as it is dormant, but 
the earlier it goes in the 
better. Evergreens must 
be planted before any new growth starts. 
Fall planting of evergreens starts in early 
August and continues until freeze-up, but 
the fall planting of shrubbery and other 
deciduous stock does not usually start until 
early October, or as soon as the plants 
become dormant. 
Bare roots of plants must be protected at 
all times from undue exposure to sun and 
wind, as even a small amount of “drying 
out” will definitely impair the chances of 
the plant making a satisfactory growth. 
The hole for planting should be larger than 
the spread of the roots and only the best 
black topsoil should be used around its 
roots. It is safest not to use any manure 
in the hole, although pulverized peat mixed 
with the soil may be Aa beneficial. The 
roots should be well spread, the soil worked 
carefully around them (avoiding air pock- 
ets) and then well firmed by tramping or 
by “water packing” with a running hose. 
Most deciduous stock is planted a trifle 
deeper than it grew in the nursery, but 
evergreens are placed just as they grew 
before. 
After planting is completed a slight de- 
pression, or basin, should be left around 
the plant to facilitate the intake of water.
