LANDSCAPE CONSULTATION SERVICE 
Stribling’s Nurseries maintain, as another public service, 
a free landscape consultation service. Our landscape archi- 
tect will call on you in your own yard and offer suggestions 
on designing and planning your garden. Advice on horticul- 
tural problems and care of plants is also offered. 
This service is very flexible and is custom tailored to fit 
each individual family’s need. The same consideration is 
given to the simplest flower bed as to the most elaborate 
development. A suitable, functional design can be worked 
out to fit any budget. It is the policy at Stribling’s to en- 
courage ‘’Green-Thumbers’”’ to plant and construct their 
own gardens. Advice on the selection of varieties of plants 
for proper environments is gladly given. 
As a general rule, a rough sketch of the layout of the proposed garden is kept on file at Stribling’s offices so that customers may purchase 
suggested plants at their convenience. For the more elaborate developments, blue-printed scale drawings are made available, at cost, when 
requested. 
Free consultation is offered at the nursery also, but a personal visit to your grounds is usually desirable, as all local conditions can 
be more readily ascertained on the site. There is no charge for this service within Stribling’s usual free delivery zone (about 15 miles). 
For outlying communities there is a slight transportation charge. 
Phone today for an appointment.
