That’s right, just come to our nursery any day 
during May except Sunday, and when you make a 
purchase, you may reach into the “Grab-bag” for a 
pleasant surprise in the way of a “Bonus” plant. 
We are going to give away a nice assortment of 
house, or pot plants as well as many good sized 
plants for landscape use. All of them are desirable 
and we know you will like them. 
Remember — just buy what you want and then 
reach into the grab-bag! Come early in the month 
for the best selections. 
Planned Landscaping 
Whatever is needed — be it a foundation planting of a 
formal garden, a living-room out-of-doors or just a few 
shrubs — we are always ready to offer our services and our 
suggestions. Our landscape department will be glad to 
help achieve the effect desired. 
Only a person who is skilled in design and who has a 
keen knowledge of plant materials can work out the prob- 
lems that arise in every garden. With a workable knowledge 
of the ultimate growth of the plants, their blooming habits, 
and their adaptability, a skilled designer can plan the 
planting efficiently in order to achieve the desired effect and 
express the personality of the home owner. 
Here in Florida where folks spend so much of their time 
out-of-doors, a garden must be a combination living-room, 
dining-room and recreation club. There may be a lounging 
terrace, arranged for comfort and attractiveness, a grill for 
cooking and game areas. Along with the ideal arrange- 
ments for enjoyable living there must be an arrangement 
of plant materials that will provide the privacy desired, as 
well as express the personality of the gardener. 
Perhaps there are folks who plant their gardens and home 
grounds in a haphazard manner and achieve a lovely set- 
ting, but these are few and far between. Most unplanned 
plantings look exactly what they are — plants and trees 
simply stuck in at random. 
A phone call or post-card to our office will bring one of 
our Landscape Architects with help and suggestions for 
planning YOUR garden.
