We stop to admire the attractive lawns with their abundance of shrubs, vines, shade trees, and evergreens: Why? It was an inspiration to us to behold nature’s beauty so diversified, yet so at- tractive.
We should give equal consideration to the outer appearance of our surroundings: It is surprising what a little touch of Nature will do for us, with iust a little effort on our part in helping it’s levelopement.

At the first breath of Spring, the swelling buds open into dainty flowers, often inconspicuous, but none the less beautiful, then follows the delicate tints of expanding foliage that deepen into the richness of mid-summer greens.

EFFECTIVE LANDSCAPING
In the accompanying illustrations we have endeavored to picture to you an apparently unsightly vacant space adjoining a garage which was trans- formed into a veritable flower garden with the use of shrubs and perennials as well as Pergola
The possibilities in transformation of any vacant space is simply unlim- ited, and depends entirely on the manner and method employed, as well as amount to be expended for this purpose.
Shrubs in their unlimited variety of color and blossoms, are very beau- tiful during the early Spring and Summer months, and again in the fall when the autumn tints of foliage together with the various colored berries make them another attrac- tive aspect
Then again Shade Trees of the variety we list are very good and

offer their attraction in foliage, height and general appearance with very little care to enhance their growth and general developement.
In recent years there has been a great demand for fruit trees and plants as these not only are attrac- tive from early spring until late fall, but they offer shade as well as an abundance of fruit, which every- one cherishes at all times.
For general appearance and con- tinuous attraction we call your at- tention to our large assortment of Evergreens. Their beauty and charm cannot be too highly recommended. In every season of the year you will find some charm in their stately appearance; just another of Nature's wonders in their developement, and when you stop to consider their adaptability' in any setting you can- not but feel that a Landscape with- out Evergreens is incomplete.
