A WELL-PLANNED and planted home is the cherished hope of every American family. Pleasing and satisfactory results are only at- 
tained through a careful study of your grounds, the selection and planting of the proper material. Hundreds of Kentucky homes, both 
large and small, have been successfully landscaped from plans and service rendered by our firm. Because of our knowledge, experience 
and training we are in a position to serve you well. Satisfactory results are assured at surprisingly low cost.

No Charge for Consultation at Nursery 
There is no charge for consultation or suggestions at the nursery. 
If you will bring your plans, measurements, pictures, etc., we will be 
pleased to give you valuable assistance. 
Making Landscape Plans 
We make no charge for small, simple plans in Lexington provided 
we furnish the nursery stock. 
Such plans in cities close by (within 30 to 35 miles) are also 
made free of charge provided sufficient stock is purchased to justify 
the time and trip required. 
A nominal charge is made for plans and consultation for clients 
farther away, based on distance, time required, etc. 
PLANS BY MAIL. We make many plans for customers who cannot 
come to the nursery. If you will send the dimensions of your property, 
location of house (with blue prints if possible) , the direction it faces, 
trees, drives, walks, and a kodak picture, we can usually make a 
very satisfactory plan. For small detail plans through the mail we 
ask a deposit of $10.00 which will be deducted when at least $50.00 
worth of stock is purchased. For simple suggestions through cor- 
respondence there are no charges, and we are always ready and pleased 
to render such service. 
When to Plant 
Shade Trees, Shrubs, and Fruit Trees, when handled with bare 
roots, are best planted in the fall after we have had sufficient frost 
to kill the foliage, or in the spring when dormant. 
Evergreens, Shade Trees and Shrubs, when dug Balled and Bur- 
lapped (BGB), may be planted almost any time during the year if 
you can give them proper attention such as watering, cultivation and 
mulching. 
Asparagus and Small Fruits may be planted in the fall if there is 
sufficient moisture and your soil is in good condition, otherwise plant 
in early spring. 
No Agents 
We sell direct and our contacts are usually made by appoint- 
ments. Refuse to buy from anyone who represents himself or 
herself as our agents. WE HAVE NO AGENTS. When dealing 
direct you get full benefit of our facilities. 
GUARANTE 
On orders shipped, called for, or delivered, we guarantee every item to be true to name, up 
to grade and in good condition when it leaves our nursery. As there are so many forces beyond our control, such as 
weather, soil and care, which may cause stock to die, we cannot be 
responsible for losses. However, we will absolutely refund or replace 
without charge any stock which does not reach you in good condition, 
provided you report within 10 days after receipt of order, and it has 
not been damaged by the delivering carrier.
