PLAN YOUR GARDEN 
This book is arranged to help you plan a new garden or revamp an old 
one. First, we suggest that you make a rough sketch to scale of the area 
to be landscaped. Mark the positions of the shrubs and trees to be 
planted. Second, read the descriptions on the following pages and select 
varieties appealing to you suitable for each location, noting their names 
on your plan. Third, order by mail as many as you can conveniently 
plant on a week-end, or take your list to our nearest garden store (see 
page 29 and make a personal selection. 
Save Time, 
Avoid Disappointment 
Our salespeople work with plants every 
day and they» will gladly give their 
opinion on the suitability of the plants 
you have selected for your garden. They 
will recommend alternate varieties if 
necessary. Our people ask only one 
small favor—that you have something 
specific in mind when you call. We 
would like to have enough salespeople 
to spend lots of time with everybody but 
these days it seems that garden-lovers 
outnumber nurserymen, particularly on 
week-ends. Please help us wait on more 
customers quicker by having your plant- 
list prepared beforehand. This catalog 
is designed to save time and avoid dis- 
appointment. The information given in 
bold face type on the succeeding pages, 
as well as the sketches, will be helpful 
in determining the type and quantity of 
plants to be purchased. 
What, When, Where 
To Plant 
Important questions to the home gard- 
ener, but quickly answered by turning 
the pages of this book. Briefly, a good 
time to set out plants that have a distinct 
dormant period, such as fruit, flowering, 
and shade trees, grapevines, berries, 
roses, and deciduous flowering shrubs 
is January through March. Most of this 
material will be available during the 
growing season in handy containers at 
slightly increased prices. Evergreens 
have a year-around planting season be- 
cause they are always available in con- 
tainers or with a ball of earth around the 
roots. Fall is traditional bulb planting 
time. Bulbs listed on page 31 in this book 
are for spring planting. 
A well-planned garden, built a little at a time, is 
a source of peaceful relaxation and a cause for 
lasting satisfaction. The best way to achieve 
satisfaction is to build your garden from the 
finest materials available—they cost less in the 
long run. Choose your plants carefully—in this 
book we have striven for accuracy of descrip- 
tion and adaptation. The best way to achieve 
relaxation is to plan your work ahead and not 
try to crowd two days’ gardening into one. A 
week-end gardener will begin his day with the 
several tasks that require regular weekly or bi- 
monthly attention and allot the balance of his 
time to seasonal jobs or to new enterprise. 

Get Better Results in Your Garden 
Summer’s long days are a boon to the week-end 
gardener because more evening hours are avail- 
able for irrigation just at the time of year when 
this is a major responsibility. Plan to irrigate a 
separate garden section each week-day evening 
and enjoy more leisurely gardening Sunday. If 
you find that your shipment of nursery stock is 
more than can be efficiently handled in one day, 
don't fret over it. Heel-in bare root and balled 
stock in a shallow trench in the shade, wet down 
thoroughly, and forget it until next Sunday. 
Plants in containers should be soaked on arrival 
and kept moist until planted.
