MAYBE WE CAN HELP... 
Even experienced gardeners like to have help 
planning new shrub or flower gardens. We are 
glad to offer our help if you will be patient 
and let us do the planning in off-seasons. You 
will, of course, have to supply us with exact 
dimensions, exposures, shade problems, etc. 
These layouts will represent an ultimate plant- 
ing. In no instance should you implement the 
whole scheme. The reasons: 1) gardens should

grow, not be built overnight, and 2) it would 
be too expensive — budget liberally over the 
years, not for a season. However, any garden 
needs an objective and that’s what we supply. 
It will be a better one if you don’t follow these 
plans exactly — shift them to your own ideas. 
Then it will be your garden and all we will have 
done is to have helped, which is all White 
Flower Farm should do.
