ments must reach us before October Ist of that season and the account must be paid in full when due.

The Art of
“Living Out-
ot- Doors”
A garden spot that represents ease, leisure, space and outdoor beauty.
Right in your own home yard, no matter what
its size, there is an opportunity to create a shelter-
spot. There, in sheltered seclusion, you can find
rest and ease in the quiet beauty of the out-of-doors.
Simplicity of Arrangement
A delightful ‘out-of-doors living room’ can be
made without elaborate settings. All that is needed
is a tasteful and proper arrangement of plantings
and simple accessories that provide comfort and
telaxation.
Home Grounds Should Have Privacy
A sense of privacy in the yard, some shelter from
the public gaze, is much to be desired. This par-
tial seclusion can readily be secured through taller
plantings made along the lot boundaries.
You, too,
can make your
yard your out-door living room. Developed by Holm & Olson.
Within this sheltering “wall-of-green"’ there are
ideal locations, in an inner border, for all those
flowering plants you particularly love.
While protecting and sheltering the private lawn
area the lot boundary planting can be a border of
both flower and foliage of unusual beauty.
You Can Develop Your Yard So That
it Invites Use
An open central area of well-kept lawn beckons
the foot-steps. A shapely tree or two for protection
with suitable garden seat or chairs in their cool
shadows will create a lure to the garden that is ir-
resistible.
Children play safely in such a foliage-protected
yard and the entire household turns gratefully to
such surroundings for healthful pleasure and rec-
reation.
Let us help you plan and develop your grounds
for your greatest use and enjoyment. For over 46
years we have been of service to home owners
throughout the Northwest. Your inquiries are in-
vited. Please note page 12.
Our Liberal Payment Plan
For those who are budgeting their landscape,
plant and gardening expense for the year 1942 and
feel they cannot afford to pay the entire cost at one
time we will be pleased to arrange a deferred pay-
ment plan. Tell us about your plans, the amount of

want to pay ata time, credit references and no doubt

Beauty —
Note the remarkable results of well planned landscape improvements.
Planned and planted by Holm & Olson.
VERGREENS are the aristocrats of the plant world.
They give dignity and charm to the home
grounds.
In summer and winter alike Evergreens will bring
the freshness and beauty of the woods right into the
yard about your home.
Some years ago Evergreens were used only spar-
ingly but today—
Modern Gardening Favors Evergreens
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.
The New Evergreen Varieties
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.
We Help You Make Selections
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.
Evergreens for the Lawn
For lot boundary and screen plantings and for
lawn groups and specimens the taller-growing and
spreading evergreens are needed. The Pines, the
Spruces and unirimmed Red Cedars and American
Arborvitaes are suitable to this use.
Evergreens for the House Foundation
Planting
The dwarftype evergreens with compact growth
and refined foliage are particularly suited for plant-
ing about the building. For this purpose use such
varieties as the Pfitzer, Savin and Bar Harbor Juni-
pers, Mugho Pines, and Dwarf Yews.
At house corners and by the doorway where taller
evergreens are desired the Scopulorum Juniper, Red
Cedar and American and Pyramidal Arborvitaes are
adapted.
Trim Evergreens
Remove the previous year’s central terminal buds
to a strong bud on the main branches of Spruce, Pine
and Fir. This will produce a thick, dense lateral
growth.
To develop dense and thick growth on Arbor-
vitae and Pyramidal Cedars shear or clip in early
spring before growth starts.
Evergreens add year round beauty.

Trees
Trees should be planted to frame the view of the house as well as to give shade where needed.
This property planned and planted by Holm & Olson.
HE attractiveness and comfort needed to complete a landscape setting is the proper placing of desirable
trees.
Thought given to selecting the best varieties for a particular use is important.
In the border
they may be used as accents, on the lawn to provide welcome shade, to cast interesting shadows, to supply
flowers, fruit and foliage effects.
A tree or group of trees add a feeling of quiet thoughtful repose to home
atmosphere. We will gladly help you select suitable varieties for your grounds.
Since trees reach their maturity slowly you can save years of waiting by using larger sizes.

Shrubs for
Flower and
Foliage
The beauty of appropriate shrub and evergreen plantings add permanently to the charm of this
attractive home. Developed by Holm & Olson.
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.
Much of the beauty and charm in landscape planting comes from the free use of flowering shrubs. Their
delicate coloring, fragrance and profusion of bloom entitles them to an important place in your home yard.
It is the softening grace of the dwarf and medium height shrubs when planted about the foundations that
creates the transformation from bareness to beauty. The taller shrubs find their proper place as specimens in
the lawn or in the border along the lot boundaries to give privacy or to screen out unattractive views. Allow
us to help select suitable varieties for your grounds.
PLEASE NOTE: The figures following the shrub name show the approximate height of growth.

Double Flowering Almond (Amygdalus rosea). 4 to 5 ft. A sym-

manure and bone meal will keep them thriving. Pruning
of Lilacs should take place immediately after the flowering
season so that next year’s flower buds have time to form.
This throws strength into new wood and results in
stronger branches and larger flowers for next year.

“Velvet Sod” Seed
“Velvet Sod” contains Creeping Bent seed.
“Velvet Sod” Lawn Seed is an unusually high grade and care-
ful mixture of permanent fine-bladed, rich green grasses. Specially
prepared to meet the climatic conditions of our northern states.
Its high weight of 25 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.
1 lb. 55c; 5 lbs. $2.25; 10 lbs. $4.00; 20 lbs. $7.50
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. 65c; 5 lbs. $2.75; 10 Ibs. $5.00; 20 Ibs. $9.50
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 unfa-
vorable conditions.

5 Ibs. $2.50; 10 lbs. $4.75; 20 lbs. $9.00.

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
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 25 lbs. per bushel.
1 lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $2.25; 10 Ibs. $4.00; 20 lbs. $7.50

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 Ib. 35c; 5 ibs. $1.50: 10 Ibs. $2.90; 20 Ibs. $5.40.
Creeping Bent Grass
Sea Side Bent—A true, unmixed creeping bent seed. It pro-
duces a thick, low and close-growing turf for lawns and golf greens.
