the sheared tops of trees or native shrub masses near 
the sea to realize the damaging effect of these winds. 
Certain plants have the ability to resist sea winds 
successfully. Most others must have protection. 
Soil conditions, too, are often not of the best. Top- 
soil is thin and insufficient, and if successful plant- 
ing is to be done, adequate depths of fertile soil must 
be added. 
Gardening on Cape Cod must be well planned, to 
take advantage of favorable elements and to over- 
come natural difficulties. The long experience of 
H. V. Lawrence, Inc., since 1886, and the many 
examples of our work throughout the Cape, are your 
confident assurance of capable service and help.
