Let HOLMES 
LANDSCAPE Your Home! 
Holmes introduced professional landscaping to Central 
Florida 25 years ago, when how to get things to grow was 
still a mystery. Our success in producing “overnight trans- 
formations’ —from barren land to beautiful park-like 
scenes—built Holmes Nurseries and much of the new 
beauty of Central Florida. 
Holmes Custom Landscaping Service, plotted to your 
plan and planned to your plot, is still the quick, easy and 
surprisingly inexpensive way to gain beauty overnight. 
To Holmes, each landscaping installation is a problem 
all its own, reflecting your personality, your desires, your 
own scheme of beauty. We have no “‘canned”’ plans, yet 
our prices are no higher than good plants and good work- 
manship require. 
Flowers and Shrubs 
Come to our Nurseries. Let us show you TODAY the 
identical flowers and shrubs you can have GROWING on 
your grounds TOMORROW. Our growing methods, plus 
our long experience, permit us to move almost any plant 
at almost any time. 
Save Years with Holmes Big Trees 
Here’s where we can really benefit you! Whether you 
want one tree or a hundred— for a city lot or a public 
park—Holmes can take a bare piece of ground and in a 
matter of a few days turn it into a beautiful tree-filled park. 
Our special growing methods—tending, training and prun- 
ing the roots as well as the tops—permit us to lift a big 
tree any time, and move it miles to the location you specify, 
and practically never lose a leaf ! 
Our special Balled and Burlapped (or Wire Balled) big 
trees let you do the same with the same degree of success. 
So, if you want a tree growing in your yard, where one 
wasn't growing yesterday, come in and see us today! 
But either way—you do it or let us do it—you’ll find 
there’s no place like Holmes for landscaping!
