Landscape Sorwice 
For Home Owners Who Desire to Create New and Additional Beauty 
on Their Home Grounds 
Perhaps the first and most important step in preparing for landscaping is the working out of a carefully 
balanced, detailed planting plan to exactly fit your individual grounds—using the proper choice of hardy 
materials, placed to best advantage. Such a plan, the ultimate development of which will create the picture 
you wish to attain, will usually prevent many planting disappointments and a needless expenditure of cash. 
For years we have specialized in this service, which is FREE to our customers. You, too, are welcome to avail yourself 
of this opportunity, Simply follow the directions as outlined below. 
First write for our SKETCH BLANK. On this will be found full and simple instructions for you to follow in making the pre- 
liminary drawing of the house and grounds. Please establish all dimensions as accurately as possible and answer all the 
questions found thereon. 
Upon receipt of this drawing and your remittance of $7.50 (for standard size lots up to and including 66x132 feet), our 
Landscape Architect will design you a complete plan, including a planting list of hardy materials best suited for your par- 
ticular needs, as well as a surprising, reasonable cost estimate covering the items included. Then if you purchase the 
planting materials from us and the order amounts to $50.00 or more, the $7.50 fee you have already paid on the plan will be 
applied on your order as a dué bill, thus giving you this Landscape Service ABSOLUTELY FREE. Lots larger than this (66x132 
feet) require a fee of $10.00, which would be credited upon an order of $75.00 or more. 
In the event a foundation planting plan only is desired, a $3.50 fee is acceptable, which in turn will be applied to: your 
order as a due bill upon the purchase of $35.00 worth of stock. We reserve the right to reject complicated plans where: we 
feel the customer could best be served by employing the services of an architect right on the grounds. 
NOTE: It is to your advantage to get your Landscape Plan ordered EARLY. After April Ist we cannot guarantee to make 
prompt delivery of plans. We are extremely rushed after this date, and usually have so many plan orders ahead that it is im- 
possible to promise quick service for plans ordered late. In case of scarcity of landscape personnel, we reserve the right to 
return any or all plans. Because of the bookkeeping and handling expense involved, the initial order must be $50.00 or more 
to deduct the $7.50 plan credit (a $75.00 order for the $10.00 size plan), but stock may be shipped as wanted.
