For in addition to descriptions and prices, you will find in this book useful information regarding every beauti- fying growth that is particularly adaptable to planting around the home. It is a veritable storehouse of suggestions for making your grounds more pleasing and charming. Therefore it is neither desirable nor possible to treat such a subject with the cold attitude of science alone. With these thoughts in mind the book has been reserved for those whom we hope will value it and request a copy. Aesthetic Investment An attractive landscape for your home is an investment which earns increasingly large dividends of pleasure and satisfaction as the years pass by. No other form of aesthetics can give you quite the same genuine thrill or gratification as that which springs from the sight of your own home tastefully surrounded by rich evergreens, lovely shrubs, and noble trees. Nor is the figurative sense the only way to regard landscapes as investments. So greatly is your property value enhanced by flowers and shrubbery that planting is profitable from a purely monetary valuation. Planting Complete Every home has its own individuality, thereby requiring individual planting treatment. Therefore, you will find in this book no stock plans or sketches for planting, because there has been no successful method yet developed where a home could be attractively landscaped without making a careful study of topography, architecture and the various characteristics to be emphasized. The illustrations in this book, however, will give an idea of the satisfying results achieved by the observance of all the nuances of beauty and tasteful arrangement. Planting service at Towson Nurseries for gardens and landscapes is complete in every detail. We are thoroughly equipped to direct and execute every phase of this work: we construct driveways, paths, stonework, and complete gar- dens; we furnish all plants and materials; we do all the planting. Our wide and varied experience has many times resulted in close co-operation with the country’s leading landscape architects, and we are therefore thoroughly com- petent to carry out the plans of any one you may select. 5 AN INVITATION To lovers of beauty we extend a hearty welcome to visit Towson Nurseries.

The term shrub, however, designates the broad-leaved evergreen and the deciduous variety of shrub. When nature in her wondrous way created the broad-leaved evergreen, she made one of the most charming floral treasures man is privileged to enjoy. Broad-leaved evergreens grace all landscapes. Their informal formation blends beautifully with upright varieties, and gives an effect of pleasing unity to any planting. Evergreen shrubs play a dual role in any setting. In the spring and summer, many act their parts arrayed in dresses of a thousand blossoms, while others, in the fall and winter, sparkle and glisten with a myriad of brilliant berries.

Akin to the Rhododendron, it flourishes under similar conditions, but thrives also in the full sunlight. Many acres at Towson Nurseries are devoted to the cultivation of the Azalea, and we offer an unusually wide selection of the various colors. There are whites, pinks, reds, oranges and many of two or more colors, ranging from quite brilliant hues to soft pastel lavenders.

It furnishes for the owner an intimate sense of satisfaction, as both a source of joy for coming generations, and remembrance of past years. Since the time of the famous English castle gardens, down through the years to our own Colonial mansion grounds, and now in the present revival of Colonial architecture and gardening, Boxwood takes its place as the ultimate in garden ornament. Who can look at the fine old specimen or a massive hedge of Boxwood and not let one’s imagination drift back to the days when knighthood was in flower, when lords and ladies graced the garden with their presence, or when duels were fought in the name of honor? The thought of Washington at Mount Vernon brings to mind those long sweeps of deep green Boxwood that Washington, the surveyor, laid out and planted years ago. Many beautiful plants that have lived through those Colonial days, and which will live for generations to come, may be seen at the Old English Boxwood Company at Cockeysville. Thousands of beautiful plants of every size and shape, all of them true Old English Boxwood, are on display. We invite all who are in any way interested in Old English Boxwood to come to Cockeysville, Maryland, and at their leisure inspect this wonderful collection.

COTONEASTER (Pronounced ko-tow-nee-aster) OTONEASTER is an old world family of shrubs which recent botanical expeditions in the Orient have greatly enriched. They have many outstanding points of merit. The flowers are uniform in shape and size; in color they are either white or pink and they are borne in clusters along the branches. They blossom from May to the end of June: in the fall they are heavily burdened with red or black fruits. Some are prostate ground covers, others grow into moderate size plants, while others are well suited to the rockery or for planting against walls. They are lovers of sun and wind and demand full exposure to the elements. A well drained situation and a loamy soil are the other essentials. COTONEASTER dpressa (Creeping Cotoneaster).

ESPALIER FRUIT: TREES Yor may now have an orchard on your garden or garage wall or along your boundary fence or pathway. An espalier fruit tree is the essential factor. Trees of this type grafted on true dwarf stock are easily kept to their proper form and will bear quantities of fruit on their graceful branches. Espalier or trained fruit trees are used quite extensively in Europe, where they originated, and are rapidly gaining favor in this country. Anyone seeing them growing in an appro- priate location could not help from expressing admiration and the desire of ownership. Almost every home grounds contains some spot in which espalier fruit trees would look well, and be in keeping with the surroundings.

They possess great value as a decora- tive subject both in the garden and when used as a cut flower. Their wide range of color, habit of growth and hardiness under varying conditions, make them suitable material for almost any type of garden. Accompanying the descriptions, the following information has been noted. First—the garden rating, as 85, this is based on 100 being a perfect rating. Second—the height of the plant when in bloom, in inches, as 48”; and last, the sequence of blooming, E meaning early blooming, MS meaning mid-season, and L meaning late blooming.

HARDY LILIES ““O’er lawns the lily sheds perfume.’ --Montgomery [ is impossible to paint a word picture of any flower, much less the lily, for lilies have been a garden favorite throughout the centuries. They are so incom- parably beautiful that all who see them wish to grow them. Many varieties of hardy lilies are natives of this country, while others have been imported from Europe and Asia. They should be planted in the fall, as soon as the bulbs are available, as the growth will be stronger than the same bulbs planted in the spring. Most varieties are ready for planting in September and October, while the Japanese Speciosum and Auratum forms do not reach this country until late November or December, at which time the ground, usually frozen, makes it impossible to plant them. To regain, for the Japanese bulbs, the lost growing time, we pot all late arrivals so they may be planted with perfect success in the spring. Winter lilies, however, should be planted from 3 to 10 inches deep, depending on the species. Planting at the corners of a splendid court with the Junipers, Holly, and Magnolia, deftly arranged with Perennial Phlox, Iris, and other colorful flowers 94 - TOWSON MARYLAND PERENNIAL The following varieties, along with newer introductions will be listed in our BULB FOLDER, issued each fall.

FRUIT S=3QQQE=- PARGe Ae ee TREES IN YOUR LANDSCAPE PLANTING A RUSTIC old apple tree in an intimate corner of the garden is not only charming, but decidedly useful. In utilizing them as a part of a landscape plant- ing, it is wise to make use of trees which are so mature as to have developed characteristic irregularities. In the spring, the beauty of an old apple tree in bloom is unrivalled in its pastels of delicate pink and green. It is a point of good design to move large apple trees when they are used for decorative purposes, rather than to handicap a design by trees which are only partially grown. When planting large apple trees it is best to select trees that have been root-pruned to force a mass of fiberous, or feeding roots near the trunk of the tree. This assures quick recovery from the shock of transplanting. In planting, care should be taken to see that the tree pit is well drained and sufficiently large to allow a free growth of the new roots which will form soon after the tree has been moved. These new roots are encouraged to form more quickly if the proper soil is used in planting. The expenditure involved in the moving of mature apple trees more than compensates for the time figured for the full growth of small trees. It is soon repaid in the satisfaction gained in having fruit bearing trees which fit in well with the decorative effect of the rest of the garden. Illustrating the wisdom of planting apple trees which have developed characteristic irregularities. Trees like this usually bear fruit the first season after transplanting 105 - SSS FrRuItTs Apples Summer LEMON. Of delicious flavor, pure yellow, flesh firm, and good keeper. DUCHESS OF OLDENBURG.

A tree properly fed produces a greater increase in the size and volume of the foliage, permitting the absorbtion of more nourishment from the atmosphere, a deeper green color and stronger twig growth. From a financial standpoint, correct feeding saves money by actually reducing the amount of pruning which otherwise would be necessary. Tree food may be applied at any time of the year, but when placed in the ground before the formation of the following season’s foliage-buds, will force the buds to such an extent that a maximum volume of leaf growth will result. There is no more suitable season than February and March for feeding. If you are the fortunate possessor of shade or fruit trees, whether it be a grove, orchard, or a single specimen, the advice of a professional should be sought and their recommendations followed. The two most important factors to consider when feeding a tree, are the kind of food and the method of applying. TOWSON TREE FOOD and TOWSON NURSERIES’ manner of administering to the tree, is the answer. Saving a tree in this way is not a costly operation.

The Hybrid Tea Roses, when grown under favorable conditions, supply an abundance of bloom from June until fall. There is hardly a garden where Roses of some species may not be successfully grown. Our Roses, field grown for two years, come to you potted, ready to set out in the garden in the spring and produce an abundance of bloom the same season. Hardy climbing roses are the easiest roses of all to grow. They yield the most spectacular returns for the little effort spent upon them. The older, small- flowered kinds produce a mass of colorful bloom in early summer, and the newer large-flowered varieties, are free bloomers, as exquisite as the Hybrid Teas. They bud and bloom on splendid long stems for cutting. Our Rose Folder, offering all the new and the best of the old varieties, is issued in the early spring and will be sent you upon request.

Because of their unusual clarity of color, large flowers and long stems, they have become the favorite spring flower of America. These tulips bloom in late May and for several weeks make a glorious display. Their colors include not only many brilliant variations of scarlet and crimson, but shades of rose, pink, violet, and purple as well. The hues are unsurpassed for their delicacy and richness of color. Breeder Tulips These tulips and the Darwins bloom at the same time. Those who like the rich, somber shades cannot fail to appreciate the artistic blendings of purple, old gold, bronze, terra cotta, buff and maroon that are found in the majestic breeder tulips. The flowers are very large, sweet scented and splendid for cutting. Cottage Tulips The Cottage Tulips bloom in early May. The long, oval flowers are delicately and artistically tinted in yellow, orange, salmon and old rose. These fine spring garden flowers are the best for cutting. The center of interest is the Darwin Tulips.

With their know that summer is really on the blooming we way; no other manifestation of its coming gives quite the same thrill. Daffodils are equally effective when planted at the edge of shrubbery or when interwoven in the perennial garden. They scatter sunshine in shady places, and are quite as happy when naturalized in the woodlands. GFN CROCUS Crocus will grow most anywhere—in the grass, in the flower borders, among shrubs, or in the rock garden. Great irregular patches of the various colors, each color segregated, but each plant- ing blending with the next, lend a charming note in the early spring. To bring a breath of spring to the gar- den, plant groups of Snowdrops, whose persistent little blossoms are the first to grace the garden; Scillas, with bell- like flowers of rose and blue and the Grape Hyacinths, of heavenly blue, all add color and beauty to the landscape. e See our special bulb folder for prices, gladly sent you upon request. Daffodils in all their glory 111 THE WATER GARDEN lines is probably no other feature in garden design that has more appeal than the use of water in some form or other. It may be a placid pool, a cascade, a bubbling brook, a fountain, or the smallest of pools made from a half barrel, but each will take its place in creating the desired effect in the landscape scheme. Pools should be located so they reflect the background when viewed or approached from a distance. A good background aids in directing the atten- tion of the observer to the pool and reflects the charm of the surroundings. Best success is derived from the lilies, lotus and other aquatic plants when the pool is located in full sunlight, but fair success may be had in partial shade. The water garden however small is worth having if only to attract the birds near one’s home. May we help you plan your water garden? An exceptional example of a combined naturalistic pool and rock garden, the beauty of which lies in duplicating so faithfully the subtleties of nature itself 112 THE ROCK GARDEN W rere it is damp, shady, and barren, there you should plant your rock garden. An ugly corner may be completely transformed if you are not contented with your present planting. It is no longer necessary to have one sorrowful, bedraggled-looking spot mar the appearance of your entire landscape. A change of topography, a steep, hard-to-manage slope—there again is your cue to plant a rock garden. The atmosphere of a rock garden is essentially natural. In it, artifice and subterfuge have no place. Rock gardens need not be elaborate, for their beauty lies in the ability of man to interpret the thoughts of nature... if it is naturally planted it is naturally correct. No form of gardening can give more variety, more surprises, more satisfac- tion, than the great number of flowers which can be grown in a rock garden. You will be delighted with masses of creeping plants that will settle comfort- ably in the crevices and clothe the adjacent rocks with colorful bloom. Rock gardens should not be thought of as only being attractive in the summer. There are many dwarf evergreens and evergreen vines that may be used to advantage. Their various contrasting colors will present a pleasing winter effect. If you would like to change an unsightly spot into a thing of beauty—call Tuxedo 1751, and a thoroughly experienced person will gladly call and advise you. An example of what may be accomplished with barren rocks, selected plant material and good judgment es SE POTTERY IN THE GARDEN i fe graceful forms of Garden Pottery will delight the eye and lend enduring interest to your grounds. A Bird Bath will invite the birds to linger, adding their merry notes to the other delights of nature. A Sun Dial will lend a touch of the old world while graceful jars and vases will add new interest to the plants and flowers. High-fred Terra Cotta is one of the most enduring ma- terials known to the Arts; made from se- lected clays, and fired to a heat to insure charm, the greatest strength and durability. A complete list of Pottery is too exten- sive to include in this catalog. We would rather invite you to visit our gardens, Graceful Terra Cotta jars well placed add new interest to the garden where quite an as- sortment is on dis- play and many help- ful suggestions could bie maid ew hich would aid you in a selection. We also have on dis- play some fine models of lead garden orna- ments recently im- ported from England. A little lead figure among the shrubbery next to the garden or an exquisitely mod- eled fountain orna- ment will add the final touch to your garden picture. An interesting view at Towson Nurseries.

THE PERMANENT LAWN BREE we offer advice which may help our readers to become the possessors of a permanent lawn. The first important factor to consider in the construction of a new lawn is the proper preparation of the underlying subsoil and the preparation and depth of the top soil. Good deep soil means deep rooted grass which will stand the hot, dry summer better than if it is shallow rooted. “TOWSON” LAWN GRASS SEED For the open sunny places “TOWSON” SHADY SPOT LAWN GRASS SEED For the cool shady places Prices upon application Feeding Helps Seeding The kind of fertilizer used has a great deal to do with making a lawn. Just because a fertilizer may be ideal for certain crops, do not take it for granted that it will produce good grass. We recommend Towson Lawn Food to be used at the time a new lawn is constructed, and suggest at least two feedings each year following. Lawns which do not receive regular feeding soon die from star- vation. When you buy grass seed, do not hunt bar- gains. Good seed can not be bought cheaply. If a permanent lawn is desired, the seed mix- ture must necessarily contain a good portion of perennial grasses. It is the writer’s belief that the blend should contain at least 50% of Kentucky Blue. Inferior mixtures will germi- nate just as quickly as high grade ones, and for the first season will probably look just as well, but after this, the better mixture composed largely of tested perennial instead of annual grasses will really prove the more economical. Towson Lawn Seed has proven its worth for many years. The velvety stretch of lawn in Towson Nurseries show grounds is a fine example of the use of good lawn seed = 1120 - TOWSON MARYLAND GARDEN SUPPLIES =3——<—< 2 i © 78 Alaska Daisy 88 Almond (Flowering) 61-62 Alpestre se 8S Althea . . 67-68, 91 Andromeda 38 Anemone .. . 83 Apples . . ~. 105-106 Arborvitae 20-22 Arrowood. . . 76 Piste] eas; es 49 Wotan oh 4 Aubretia . . -.
