OUR 
ROLO 
SEZ: 
LANDSCAPING IS AN INDIVIDUAL MATTER! 
The mass method of production is greatly responsible for 
the economic success in America. But this system of mass 
methods does NOT apply when it comes to landscaping 
your home grounds. There are no two yards exactly alike— 
perhaps the difference is only a matter of drainage or soil 
or existing trees, but there are none alike. 
Because of the variations, no mass method of land- 
scaping can be the answer. Each and every yard has its 
own individual requirements which need individual plan- 
ning. Each family has certain recreational and functional 
needs which must be planned for also. 
Our staff of graduate Landscape Architects is at your 
service. We are equipped to give your home grounds the 
individual attention it needs. Let us help you put into 
effect the principles of good garden planning and the 
artistic use of plants.

Questions You’ve Asked About 
FLORIDA GARDENING! 
Can shrubs be pruned in the fall as well as in the 
spring? 
It depends on the shrub. It would not be wise to cut 
back Azaleas, Camellias, etc. in the fall, as you would 
cut off all the buds. However, you can trim evergreens, 
such as Podocarpus, Ligustrum, etc. to keep them in 
shape. 
What Azaleas would you recommend for planting in a 
sunny location? 
Azalea Formosa or Southern Charm would either do 
wonderful in full sun. They grow thick enough to help 
shade their own roots from the sun, and the foliage 
takes the sun well. 
——<¢-¢_____. 
Would you suggest waiting until spring to plant 
Pyracantha? 
No, if you secure plants from cans you can transplant 
them at any time of the year. Plants you purchase now 
will be in full fruit, and you can enjoy the berries all 
winter. 
If you are going to transplant a large plant, we'd 
suggest waiting until the weather is cooler; you will 
need to cut the plant back also. 
What is the summer-ripening Orange that is later than 
the Valencia? ~ 
You probably are thinking of the Glen Summer Orange. 
What is the earliest ripening citrus fruit we can grow? 
The Satsuma is the earliest ripening citrus . . . however, 
Parson Browns and Hamlins ripen soon thereafter, and 
if you prefer a firm orange to the kidglove type, you'll 
probably want one of those. 
Can Coconut Palms be grown in Central Florida? 
We have seen very few Coconut Palms—growing in our 
area of the state—for they do not stand much cold. 
Along the coastal areas you occasionally see scattered 
trees; however, they are at home in the warmer expanse 
of South Florida along the coasts.
