MER LEISURE AND BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME NOW! 
HERE ARE SOME REASONS WHY YOU CAN: 
CONTAINER GROWN PLANTS MOVE EASILY! 
Trees, shrubs, vines, fruit trees—any plant grown in cans, 
tubs or pots move safely at any time. The roots are never 
disturbed, and they grow on, blooming. 
ROOT PRUNING IN FIELDS MAKE MOVING SAFER! 
Progressive nurserymen have learned that root pruning of 
growing plants make root systems more compact; this 
prevents their losing much of the roots when taken up 
carefully and balled and burlapped. 
PLANTS GROW BETTER AND FASTER IN SUMMER! 
Not only do plants put on more growth, but they increase 
their root systems in the summer. Plants add inches in 
size and spread—your investment increases immediately 
with dividends in larger plants and more bloom. 
PALMS ACTUALLY MOVE BETTER IN SUMMER! 
The growing season causes them to put out new roots and 
fronds faster . . . they really become established more 
rapidly. 
GRASS SPREADS BETTER IN SUMMER! 
We always recommend lawns be planted during the 
summer—both roots and top grow faster and more satis- 
factorily in the warm weather. A lawn planted in the 
summer will usually cover in 90 days!
