The beauty of suitable Shrub and Evergreen plantings add permanently to the charm of this attractive home
Shrubs for Flower and Foliage
Sturdy Plants for Northern Gardens
Much of the beauty in the landscape planting of the home yard is supplied by shrubs. Their uses are many and their cost is nominal.
It is the softening grace of the dwarf and medium-height shrubs when planted about the house founda¬ tions that creates the transformation from bareness to beauty. The taller shrubs find their proper place in the border along the lot boundaries to give privacy or to screen out unattractive views.
A large area of our nursery and the skill of experienced gardeners is devoted to developing our shrubs into sturdy, handsome plants that will quickly bring attractiveness to your home grounds.

OUR PRIZE-WINNING MODEL— MINIATURE HOME GROUNDS
Awarded First Prize, Minnesota State Fair — 1935. Designed and Built by Our Landscape Department.
EXCERPT FROM EDITORIAL— Oct. 1, 1935
"THE AMERICAN NURSERYMAN"
"This model, awarded first prize, was made to a scale of one inch to a foot on a total exhibit area of 8x10 feet.
Landscape features of unusual interest were developed. The ground sloped to a lake at the lower left-hand corner with a boat house, diving board and live fish. Advantage was taken of the slopes to show rock outcrops which were planted with rock garden effect.
On the level area surrounding the house a flower garden with summer¬ house, a service area and a clothes yard and garage were featured.
All plantings, which were selected carefully for scale, were of growing ma¬ terial while miniature figures both of animals and humans enlivened the scene."

Modernize Your Plantings with
Evergreens
EVERGREENS are the aristocrats of the plant world. They give dignity and charm to the home grounds.
Some years ago Evergreens were used but spar¬ ingly and one seldom saw them except as an occa¬ sional group on the lawn of some larger property.
Today the striking attractiveness that is so evident in the surroundings of the newly-landscaped homes is largely the result of the generous use of evergreens in the planting. The present moderate cost and the compelling beauty of the evergreens gives them this deserving popularity.
Fortunate we are indeed to have available many new evergreen varieties that were unknown in the past. By a wise selection and arrangement of these modern evergreen forms, a fresh interest and beauty can be given to older plantings and an unusual at¬ tractiveness to new ones.
Whether your yard plantings are now established or still to be placed you have equal opportunity to use evergreens to heighten the attractiveness of your home. We will be happy to help you make suitable selections.
The modern gardening mode favors evergreens.
A house planting in the modern mode — with Red Cedar, Arborvitae, Savin Juniper and Mugho Pines.
In foundation plantings the dwarf types are used directly around the building with taller sorts at the house corners and by the doorway. For lot boun¬ daries and screen plantings and for lawn specimens the larger-growing kinds are adapted.
For the rockery, the flower garden, the cemetery lot and in fact wherever the charm, dignity and color of evergreen plants is desirable you will find types that are well suited for the purpose.

Cheerful Evergreens
For All- Year- Around Beauty
EVERGREENS, in summer and winter alike, bring to the home grounds the freshness of the woods and lakes. They are a predominant part of the natural beauty of these northern states, native to our soils and climate and so are particularly well suited for use in the landscape plantings about our homes.
At the Park Nurseries the Evergreens are given particular attention to develop their full beauty of symmetrical growth. They are dug with solid root balls so that they can be moved without loss of vitality. Full planting directions are always given to assure you the best results.
Seldom does one realize how much growing-time can be saved by planting trees of substantial size so that finished results can be realized that much sooner. WE THEREFORE GIVE THE AGE AS WELL AS THE SIZE OF THE OLDER TREES TOGETHER WITH THE PRICE.
NOTE: The figures following the name show the approximate height at maturity.

HOW TO FERTILIZE YOUR TREES To Keep them in Healthy, Vigorous, Growth
This diagram shows how you can fertilize and feed your trees and shrubs. Note how holes are made in the ground un¬ derneath the spread of the branches and filled with fertilizer. This plant food can then directly reach the roots.
Keep your fine, old established trees in healthy growth and preserve their beauty by proper fertilizing. When a tree is in vigorous growth it is less subject to insect and disease attacks.
For tree and shrub fertilizing we use and recommend "LOMA" — The Perfect Plant Food. It is economical and effi¬ cient.

H. & O. “High Test" Lawn Grass Seed
The Best Seed for a Perfect Lawn
GOOD lawns logically follow the use of clean, pure seed of high ger¬ mination test. H. & O. High Test Seed is dependably good — the best in quality that we can secure. Our special mixtures are the result of our experience of many years in the actual making of lawns.
There are no cheap annual or short-lived grasses such as Timothy in H. & O. mixtures. These undesirable cheap seeds are often used to make mixtures that can be sold at a low price and the purchaser learns too late that cheap seed can only mean a temporary, unsatisfactory lawn. Use the best seed obtainable and enjoy the proper results from your work and efforts.
Send lor "HOW TO MAKE A LAWN." This booklet tells you how to make and care for a lawn. It gives practical and helpful information. Mailed on request.
AMOUNT TO SOW- — Allow one pound of seed to every 200 square feet of new lawn area. For re-seeding on old lawns one pound of seed to 400 square feet will be sufficient.
Prices are given lor seed packed and ready to ship. Please add 6c per lb. lor parcel post ii shipment ol seed by mail is wanted.
Sow "Velvet Sod" — the best grass seed. "Velvet Sod" mixture , contains creeping bent
VELVET SOD SEED
Velvet Sod Lawn Seed is an unusually high grade and careful mixture of permanent fine-bladed, rich green grasses. Specially prepared to meet the climatic conditions of our northern states. Its high weight of 27 lbs. per bushel indicates its purity and freeness from chaff and adulteration. We use this seed on all our own gardening work and recommend it as the best seed obtainable.
Velvet Sod contains Creeping Bent seed.
1 lb. 45c; 5 lbs. $2.00; 10 lbs. $3.60; 20 lbs. $6.50.
SHADY-SIDE SEED
Where ordinary grasses will not grow we suggest sowing this special "shady-side" mixture which contains varieties naturally tolerant to shade. (Extra attention to fertilizing and watering is very important under these shade conditions and a light re-seeding each spring helps maintain the sod.)
1 lb. 55c; 5 lbs. $2.50; 10 lbs. $4.75; 20 lbs. $9.00.
WHITE CLOVER
The best imported white Dutch clover with small leaves and dense growth. Very often sown with other grasses, particularly in a new lawn, where it helps cover the ground, thicken the sod and so tends to crowd out weeds.
Vi lb. 35c; 1 lb. 65c; 5 lbs. $3.00; 10 lbs. $5.50.
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS
A beautiful grass that should be the main constituent of every good lawn here in the north. It is sometimes used alone but as It develops slowly, it becomes better established if sown in a mixture. Our seed is a very choice grade of carefully recleaned extra heavy seed with an average weight of 21 lbs. per bushel.
1 lb. 40c; 5 lbs. $1.75; 10 lbs. $3.25; 20 lbs. $6.00.
RED TOP GRASS
Red Top is a fine-leaved grass that germinates and develops very quickly. It is of particular value in getting a new sod es¬ tablished. For a permanent lawn it should not be sown alone.
1 lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.25; 10 lbs. $2.25; 20 lbs. $4.00.
TERRACE SEED
On a slope the usual lawn mixtures are disappointing. For terraces we suggest this special mixture of spreading, deep rooting grasses that are resistant to drought and will thrive under unfav¬ orable conditions.
1 lb. 55c; 5 lbs. $2.50; 10 lbs. $4.75; 20 lbs. $9.00.
Fertilizers are necessary lor the perfect lawn. Please see page 31.
