Gardening in War Times
By JOSEPH J. LANE

OR those of us who must remain at

home, it is a duty to those others that
we live sane and calm lives, that we may
be able at every opportunity to render
the fullest measure of service to our
boys at the front. Calmness and sanity
are products of natural living. To be
effective in troublous times means that
we must hold to those things of life
which bring contentment and restora-
tion of spirit.

The Maker placed Adam and Eve ina
garden. Presumably it was His in-
tention that a garden should furnish
the greatest happiness and the loveliest
surroundings in this life.

We who love gardens have reason to
be thankful. Gardening is relaxation.
The refining and soothing effects of
digging ina garden are the more keenly
to be appreciated in war times because
of the comparison such work affords
to the echoes of the cannon and the
strife of war. Nature’s wholesome
breath is like a benediction.

We who make gardening our hobby
are glad of the broadened appreciation
of our hobby brought about by the
Government urging the people to plant
gardens. We are proud, too, because
of the happiness and contentment our
new-found co-workers have discovered
in growing things. Because our broth-

ers are “over there’ is no reason why
we should expect the sun to stop shin-
ing, the beauties of Nature to cease
nor the songs of birds to be stilled.

Flower gardening is just as necessary
in these war times as vegetable gardening.
Flowers are food for the soul, stabilizers of
the emotions. More than ever do we need
these things now—these signs of the Mak-
ers goodness and love.

All of which leads up to the thought
that it is correct and proper to plant
flowers and grow beautiful things.
God intended that flowers should give
us cheerfulness. Was there ever a
time when cheerfulness was more needed
than in these days when so much is
happening to unsettle our thoughts?
Grow flowers! Grow more flowers!
Grow still more flowers! Preach the
gospel of beauty and naturalness to
all about you! Allow your friends,
allow your fellow men, allow even
your enemies to enjoy your flowers and
all will be drawn nearer to each other
and to the Creator.

Gardening for flowers, for beauty, for
naturalness, will never be listed as a non-
essential in the lives of the American

people. It is as necessary a feature of

wholesome lives as good fresh air and
sunshine.

FOREWORD

practical usefulness by departing from the usual custom among

nurserymen of presenting their stock almost entirely in the nature
of a botanical classification. Believing that but few persons (outside of
collectors) are interested in, or buy, nursery stock for its scientific signifi-
cance or value alone, we have arranged the following lists in a way that we feel
will be of most genuine aid to the great majority of plant buyers who look
upon what they buy as Home ScENERY — to be ornamental, or serviceable,
or both — but who may need a certain amount of experienced suggestion
and guidance, first in visuahzing and finally in accomplishing the results
they have in mind.

ie publishing this Catalog, it has been our endeavor to heighten its

For this reason we have classified and herewith present our stock
not botanically but as the layman sEES it — according to the artistic or
utilitarian purpose or purposes for which each variety is best suited. In
the same manner the general directions for planting with which we have
amplified these lists — while essentially incomplete and in no way intended
as a technical handling of the subject — will, we believe, be welcome and
of tangible help.

In short, we have attempted to provide a comprehensive and easily
comprehended reference book on the beautification of home surroundings
for the average American home-lover — to whom it is respectfully dedicated.

We shall mention our history but briefly. Established more than
twenty years ago by the late W. B. Whittier, this firm has made a practice
of growing only the best quality of nursery stock in the varieties that have
proved to be hardiest and most desirable in this rigorous northern climate.
Although now under different management, we have continued to follow
along these lines. Consequently, Framingham Nursery Stock is recognized
as the standard for America in giving customers a ‘square deal’.

Being of perishable nature, our stock is not guaranteed to live. We
do, however, guarantee it to be alive and healthy at time of shipment. All
we ask is that reasonable care be taken of it, in helping it through dry seasons,
etc. We meet the buyer more than half way in pursuing a policy of giving
absolute satisfaction. And such a guarantee from us is far stronger than
that of replacement by a firm of lesser reputation.

The prices quoted in this Catalog cover the cost of plants carefully
packed and delivered to the transportation companies.

The General Purposes of Planting

Plantings of deciduous and evergreen shrubs or trees on the average of residential
premises or estates may be divided into the following sorts:

Foundation Planting Shade Planting

Screen Planting Individual Specimen Plantings
(a) For shutting out unsightly views Natural Plantings
(b) For seclusion and privacy Odd Purposes
(c) For protection against wind, etc. Plantings to Attract Birds

Foot
Foundation Planting

INCE bare foundations, sharp angles, and straight lines are the most noticeable

features — or rather, faults— of an unplanted home, we will consider this sub-

ject first. The purpose in foundation planting is, naturally, to soften and hide
the straight, severe, and often unsightly, lines and angles,— to bring a pleasing attraction
out of the fundamentally commonplace. To accomplish this is really very simple, and
results in vast improvement. But, first, one must bear in mind that it is unadvisable to
plant tall growing shrubs under windows. The place for them is between windows. Also
that wniformity in planting seldom brings the desired softness or artistry of effect. Fol-
lowing are some suggestive sketches which we hope will be of assistance to the reader in
visualizing and carrying out these essential points, and others.

Sketch No. 1
If your window-sills are five feet from the ground (which is about the general average
of height) set out shrubs ultimately attaining four feet, but not over five feet in height.
In order that this planting shall not be uniform and, consequently, monotonous, take
advantage of the spaces between windows to plant taller shrubs. Sketch No. 1 illustrates
this point.

FOUNDATION PLANTING 5

But how is one to determine precisely what varieties of shrubs attain certain eventual
heights? This, of course, is an important question. But you will notice that the plants
listed as for foundation planting in this catalog are arranged according to ultimate size to
facilitate their selection in properly attending it.

A double row of plants always multiplies the beauty and effectiveness of a planting.
The best practice is, wherever possible, to stagger the rows, as illustrated in Sketch No. 2.

Where the plants are tallest, the beds should be widest. Therefore the ideal planting-
plan for a foundation planting such as is suggested in Sketch No. 1 would be as in Sketch
No. 3.

Sketch No. 3

As will be noted, this results in a massing of shrubs about the corners and in the angles
between house proper and porch — a very desirable feature. In reaching this effect, shrubs
which attain an ultimate height of not over five feet should be planted three feet apart
from center to center; larger shrubs, three and one-half to four feet apart. The larger
plants should be next to house with smaller plants toward lawn.

too many kinds. On a border planting of average size (such as the foregoing sketches
represent) ten or twelve varieties make a much better showing than do twenty or thirty.

Deciduous Flowering and Ornamental Shrubs 7
for Foundation Planting

O facilitate choice and to permit the buyer to visualize selection so as to apply the

simple fundamental rules for successful foundation planting as set forth in the pre-
ceding pages, we have listed all plants in the present classification first, according to ulti-
mate height; second, according to the color of flowers or leaf and fruit effect; third according
to common or popular name. The botanical name is always to be found, in italics, following
the common name. Varieties marked with dagger (+) are valuable for sea-shore planting.
The individual heights given in each case indicate sizes of plants as now ready for delivery.
Prices quoted are per plant, unless otherwise stated.

ag Evergreens For Foundation Planting

Owing to their habit of holding their foliage the year round, Evergreens are be-
coming more and more popular.

Since most Evergreens attain an ultimate height too great to classify in the same
manner as shrubs, we are presenting them in a different way. Although they ultimately
attain a large size, their slow rate of growth makes them practical for Foundation Planting.

Almost all-of the varieties here listed may be successfully sheared and thus kept
from getting too large.

Consequently we list Evergreens not by ultimate height, but by varieties and sizes suitable
for various size houses.

Obviously a large house should have larger plants, and more of them, than a medium
sized or small house. For that reason, we are listing Evergreens for ‘‘ Foundation Planting”’
in three groups:

Group A — Suitable for a Large House.
Group B — Suitable for a Medium sized house.
Group C — Suitable for a Small House or Bungalow.

The rule of distances for planting deciduous shrubs does not apply to Evergreens.
The latter should be planted so that the distance between branches is from 8 to 12 inches. To
enable the amateur gardener to plan the number of Evergreens needed our list gives the
average breadth of the plant as well as the height. This breadth measurement is taken
near the ground, except in plants that are fan-shaped in which case the widest breadth is
given.

Where the larger suggested size is selected for the back row, the larger suggested
sizes should generally be used in the other rows.

It is not advisable to plant golden forms next to blue forms. Separate by planting
one or two green forms between.

20 Screen Planting

The planting of shrubs and trees around one’s place can be made to do much more
than beautify. For instance, possibly there is an unpretty view from some of your windows,
or porch —a cut-away embankment, an unkempt vacant lot, or the service yard of a
neighbor’s place with its attendant flapping line of clothes on wash-days. Or perhaps your
neighbor is a bit careless and permits refuse to collect in his back yard. If so, the vista from
your windows may be something like that shown in sketch No. 6.

How much more pleasing the view would be if by planting Framingham Nursery
stock you were to make it resemble something like Sketch No. 7.

Is there anything attractive in this back yard with its flapping
wash? The harmony of surroundings is completely spoiled.

Such a screen is made up very similarly to the way we have already suggested for
Foundation planting; using for the back (or outside) row any of the very tall growing
shrubs listed on Page 26; with possibly a tree or two to give it point; see Page 28. In the
next row (nearer your house) and on the ends of the back row, fairly tall or medium shrubs

may be used. And, as is often desirable, in front of this a third row of medium or small
shrubs to further soften the lines and break all possible monotony on your side of the screen.

This presents an opportunity to use shrubs with fine foliage or bark colorings, as
well as flowering shrubs.

A screen of Evergreens is also very good for this purpose, and possesses the added
advantage of blocking the view the whole year round, as is shown on Sketch No. 8.

Yet observe how easily and effectively a service-yard may be
screened in summer and winter with Framingham evergreens.

Evergreens suitable for this purpose will be found on Page 29.

Or perhaps, in your own back yard — while you do not allow refuse to colleet —
your own clothes yard is exposed to public view. In such case you can improve matters
immensely by putting in a shrubbery screen similar to the one suggested in Sketch No. 7

“THE STANDARD OF OUAL ITTY FOR AMERICA”

22 SCREEN PLANTING

or by planting a one-row screen of dense columnar Evergreens. The latter has two
advantages — First, being evergreen, the effect lasts all year round; even winter’s harshest
touch cannot lessen it. Second, narrow Evergreens like these do not take up much
land space. These columnar Evergreens are presented on Page 29.

Planting for Seclusion and Privacy

While serving a slightly different purpose, shrubbery screens planted to bring greater
seclusion and privacy to a home should be planned and handled in much the same manner
as that which we already have suggested for the Screen Plantings described in the
foregoing paragraphs.

Your house may be close to your neighbor’s. From the windows of the house next
door one can look into your windows, or vice-versa. Lights from the other house or from the
street may annoy you on summer evenings. You have not the feeling of seclusion you
would most enjoy.

Sketch No. 9 illustrates the remedy.

See pages 26 and 28 for the shrubs suitable for screening as above.

This planting (of deciduous varieties) is very similar to that shown in Sketch No. 7
— the taller shrubs being nearest your neighbor’s and the smaller shrubs toward your own
house. The use of deciduous shrubs for a planting such as this is especially good if you go

away for a portion of the Winter and are at home a considerable part of the Summer, when
the leaves are on. But, if like most of us, you spend more time in your house during the
Winter months, when the leaves are off, and are on your vacation during the greater part
of the Summer season, the more genuinely serviceable type of screen for you to plant would
be one of Evergreens, as depicted in Sketch No. 10.

The effect of fallen snow on an Evergreen screen of this kind is always attractive
and cheery. Moreover, if the spot to be planted is North or West of your house, such a

planting will make a very efficient wind-break and provide welcome protection against
the driving snow. This type of screen is also effective in shading out possible annoyance
from street lights ete., all the year round. See page 29 for such evergreens.

About many homes are shade trees so arranged at the side or rear of house that
they could be made into very inviting spots for lunches, teas, suppers, and little parties
during the hot summer weather — were it not for the fact that they are more or less open

32 Protective Plantings

People who: live near a school house invariably experience the annoyance of having
the children walk along the edges of their lawns and wearing away the grass. Or where a
house is on a much-used street, not only children but the grown-up passers by are more than
frequently guilty of the same thing. In such cases the use of wire wickets or other such
devices generally proves but temporary in its effect. A hedge is the proper remedy.

A hedge may be either formal or informal, as illustrated in Sketches No. 17 and

No. 18.

Hedges — formal and informal — can be made of the deciduous shrubs below and
on Page 34; or of the Evergreens, described on Page 34. Varieties marked with dagger

(+) are suitable for seashore planting.

This sturdy evergreen hedge of Norway Spruce does much to give
privacy, dignity, and distinction to the estate on which it is planted.

Shade Planting oe

After the necessary foundation, screen, and protective plantings have been properly
accomplished, it is generally discovered that a bit of shade about the house, at various
points on the lawn, would be welcome. The inviting presence of well-formed Shade Trees
is always an appreciable addition to the dignity and impression of any grounds; and such
trees grow to become almost as well known friends.

The location of the house in respect to the street governs to great extent the placing
of Shade Trees. .

Where the house is on the north side of the street and close to it, Sketch No. 19
illustrates a good plan to follow in setting out shade trees: —

Sketch No. 19 Sketch No. 20

The row of trees on the west side block out the tiring rays of the afternoon sun.
Where the house is some distance from the street, trees near the house will shade it while
trees near the street not only dignify and dress the grounds, but afford comfort to passers
by as well as providing a partial screen against dust, etc., as in Sketch No. 20.

Sketch No. 21

When the house is on the south side of the street, an arrangement such as in Sketch
No. 21 is good.

“THE STANDARD OF QUALITY FOR AMERICA”

36 SHADE PLANTING

The row of trees next to the street, although not shading the house, shades the side
walk, acts as a dust screen, and also gives the house a good setting — as in Sketch No. 22: —

Sketch No. 22

When the house is on the east side of street, Sketch No. 23 (as follows) applies: —
If the house is on the west side of street, the same general plan as laid down in Sketch
No. 23 applies — but reversed to correspond with change of position.

Sketch No. 23

Other trees may be added on the north and east (or west if house is on west side of
street) which, while not shading the house, will balance the planting, further dress the grounds,
as well as shade the lawn.

Shade trees are listed and discussed on Pages 37 and 39. In selecting, all that is
necessary to do is to consult the rule of distances given there, in relation to the spaces to
be planted.

These trees should be planted from 30 to 40 feet apart. If trees are already planted
on part of your street, conform to the distances between the trees already planted.

FRAMINGHAM NURSERIES — FRAMINGHAM, MASS.

SHADE PLANTING 37

Where trees are to be planted about the house, they may be planted as near as 20
feet apart. The distance apart should be partly determined by the parts of the house or

lawn you desire to shade. By planting 20 feet apart immediate shade is provided. As
trees grow larger, every other one may be removed.

to keep the trellis-work as unobstrusive as possible. In planning the construction of arbors,
it is of course largely a matter for personal taste and judgment in conjunction with the
exigencies of existing conditions such as available space, location, etc. alway bearing
in mind, however, that until the plants are fairly well along in growth, the base trellis-work
must be sufficiently fine to permit speedy climbing.

Individual Specimens

The day has now gone by when single specimen trees scattered here and there
over the lawn were considered in good taste.

On large estates groups of several specimens may be planted in carefully selected
spots. On small estates however, especially on suburban lots, the lack of space precludes
such grouping. In such case, interesting specimens should be made into border or screen
plantings, giving each tree or shrub more space than ordinarily used, so that it may develop
its individual characteristics unhampered.

The most interesting specimens are to be found among evergreens. Almost all

Plants to Attract Birds 43

In planting trees, shrubs and vines about a place, it is well to bear in mind those
varieties which, on account of their seeds and fruit, attract the birds; and it is advisable
to include some of these sorts in your planting. Birds play an important part in the economy
of nature and are an attractive feature of home surroundings.

Persons interested in Game Preserves, should give attention to the varieties listed
below as attractive to game birds. The subject of Game Preserves is too large to present
in detail here. We shall be very glad to give special detailed information however to persons
interested.

A screen of mixed deciduous shrubs, specially selected to
attract birds, surrounding a rose and perennial garden. Old
fashioned charm in an entirely new-fashioned setting.

Home gardeners who have had crops damaged by such birds as crows and sparrows
can gain protection by planting nearby the varieties of shrubs upon which those particular
bird-pests feed, and thus keep them away from the garden itself.

Below we give a list of those trees, shrubs and vines which are fruit-bearng and
furnish food for Birds; also a list of the birds which feed on the various kinds. The des-
criptions of the plants will be found in this catalog, on pages referred to below.

Natural Plantings

Where the home grounds are very extensive, it is often desirable to give some part
of it up to a Natural Planting. This is done by planting those things which are native to
the immediate regions. Varieties that are not native, but which have similar character-
istics, may be used. These plantings should be made of irregular clumps made up of several
plants of a kind — rarely more than two kinds in a group. The grouping of such a planting
requires thorough study of the surroundings.

The following lists enumerate varieties suitable for such a purpose in New England.
A dagger (1) indicates those varieties suitable for sea-shore planting.

= Roses

We have in no way attempted to cover this subject in its entirety, or as relative to
the complete planning and planting of formal or informal flower-gardens. Rather, realizing
that the occasional decorative rose-bed is generally a much more practical source of beauti-
fication and gratification on the average residential grounds than the garden of larger
dimensions might be, we have presented suggestions most applicable to this specific use

The borders of mixed deciduous shrubs at the entrance to this for-

mal rose garden lend a very desirable touch of privacy and seclusion.
of decoration. In planning such beds, it is important that species such as are listed here
should be planted in beds separate from any other sorts of shrubs; that is, while for artis-
tic effect it is sometimes desirable to mix the Rose varieties or colors in single beds, for
best results they never should be mixed with other plants or shrubbery. Wild sorts, suitable
for this purpose, will be found under “‘ Natural Plantings’.

Hardy June Roses
Harrison’s Yellow. A. Golden yellow, medium-sized,

In this list we have best varieties of the good old sorts, that
do best in our New England climate and are always in de-

Everblooming Bedding Roses

Of late great attention has been given to the roses by all the leading rosarians in
both Europe and America. As a result a class of ever-blooming roses has been developed

that are valuable.

Heretofore we have had roses that gave an abundance of blossoms in June and a
few at intervals throughout the season. Now it is possible to have an abundance in July,

August and September as well as in June.

There are hundreds of these varieties, such as Kaiserin Augusta Victoria and Gruss

an Teplitz, already quite generally and favorably known.

Some of these sorts like all

hybrids have a delicious perfume while some are odorless.

We recommend our patrons

and we cannot do it too strongly

to try these few

sorts that we now offer, then they will be prepared to judge intelligently of their worth and
to order more largely the following season. Strong 2 year plants: 60 cts each, $5.50 per ten;

$50.00 per 100,

RHODODENDRONS
Not in limed soil

Rhododendrons are the most beautiful of all plants. Their deep green leaves, often
glossy, are very striking. Rhododendrons grow broad, bushy and dense, making large
rounding clumps when mature. The flowers range through many colors and are often very
large.

Rhododendrons will thrive in any soil that will grow good vegetables, but will not
grow on a lime soil. Although they like plenty of water they should not be planted where
surface water collects. They do best when planted in partial shade such as on the north
side of buildings and under trees. For the first two or three years they should be protected
in winter by sticking pine boughs in the ground and slanting the boughs over the plants
or by making a frame around them and covering the top and sides of the frame with burlap.
Mulching the ground is beneficial. Pinch off all flowers as soon as they begin to wilt to
insure next season’s bloom.

58 The Mechanical Side of Planting

Whether trees, shrubs, evergreens, or vines, Framingham Nursery stock has the
beauty, hardiness, and vitality so necessary to successful planting in this severe northern
climate. Every plant is thoroughly acclimated before being sent out. Our soil is perfect
and our growing methods correct. We are very careful that our stock is packed and shipped
in such way as to arrive in perfect condition. No plant that hasn’t a thick, heavy mass of
vigorous rootlets, ready to catch hold and work, is allowed to leave the nursery.

Except where noted to the contrary, all stock listed in this catalog will thrive well
in ordinary garden soil. See that soil is at least eighteen inches in depth. After bed is laid
out, spade up and well pulverize. Soil for Evergreens should contain decayed vegetable
matter, leaf mold, etc. Presence of this hwmus improves the color of plant. It can be
obtained in any woods nearby. Mix it well with the soil. Or old rotten manure will serve
the purpose. Manure should be used very carefully however. It can be used in the soil in
two ways: — (1) by buryingalayer two or three inches below point that roots set to. (2) by
putting it on top and gradually raking it in. Never allow it to touch any part of the plant —
roots, stem or branches. If used, take care that it is well rotted. Green, it has a burning
effect.

Quite the most important point to be observed in all plantings is to make sure that,
after the soil has been well broken up, it is mixed through the root system and well packed
in around the roots so that no air holes remain to dry out the roots. It is always well to dig
hole considerably larger than is actually required and throw back enough soil to make it
about the size necessary for the roots. This makes sure that the surrounding earth is pul-
verized, and allows the roots to penetrate readily. It makes a great difference in the suc-
cessful growth of the plant. After plant is set in hole, tread the earth in with foot or poke
it in around the roots with a stick.

Deciduous Shrubs

These have spreading roots. Shake and
spread them out well. Place plant in hole
so that top earth is about even with the
surface mark (plainly visible, where the top
of the ground has been previous to trans-
planting), putting in soil shovelful at a ‘
time and packing in well as above. Use Di, ee
water as directed for ‘Trees’. .-

Evergreens

Evergreens are shipped to you with a
burlap protecting the ball of earth still
remaining about their roots. Remove
burlap. Place in prepared hole to depth
depicted here. Fill hole two-thirds full
sagan and tread in firmly. Now pour in all the
: water that ground will absorb, fill in rest
of hole with earth, and tread down firmly.

FRAMINGHAM NURSERIES — FRAMINGHAM, MASS.

THE MECHANICAL SIDE OF PLANTING

Where the soil is gravelly, it is practically necessary to dig an especially large hole

and fill in with loam as in sketch.

-— WVIANURE or LEAVES

A layer of well-rotted manure or rotted leaves at the bottom will help hold moisture.

The new loam should be trampled down well before setting the plant.

Whether deciduous or evergreen, do not pour water on top of soil around plant im-

mediately after planting. Wait a day or so before watering again.

After plant has “taken

hold” however, it is very important that it be kept well watered. This does not mean simply
sprinkling it. Pour the water around the roots in liberal quantities and often. Scant

sprinkling is often worse than no water at all.

Trees

Place in hole so that the old surface mark is buried an
inch or two, no more. Throw in earth, taking care to
tread it and poke it in around and under the roots while
this is being done. When two-thirds full turn hose into
hole and give it all the water it will absorb. Fill im rest
of hole and tread firmly. If necessary, rope the tree to
stakes (as here) to keep it from blowing. Be sure
to protect its bark with burlap so that rope will not
chafe and damage it.

Roses

On hybrid roses that
have been “budded’’ be
sure to bury the ‘“‘bud”’
about two inches. Other
than hybrid jroses, or
those grown on their
own roots, should be
buried just a little
deeper than the earth

a rose has been ‘“‘budded” or grown on its

PROPER PLANTING SEASONS

Framingham Nursery stock, both of evergreen and deciduous variety, may be suc-
cessfully transplanted in the Spring, from the time that the frost is out of the ground (which
in New England usually averages about April first) until the buds burst, late in May.

In the Fall, evergreens should be set out from the first of August until early November.
Deciduous trees and shrubs may be planted for a Fall period beginning the latter part of
September and continuing until the ground freezes. The extent of this Fall planting season
depends largely upon climatic conditions; as, of course, frost comes and the winter sets
in much earlier in some sections than in others.

Framingham Nursery Delivery Service a

Framingham Nursery stock may be delivered in three ways: — by freight, express,
or motor truck. Owing to the congested condition of transportation facilities so prevalent
during recent months, and which may well be predicted to continue for an uncertain period,
customers will find our motor truck service the most completely satisfactory of the three
methods. Our own trucks make delivery anywhere within a radius of sixty miles of Fram-
ingham. This service costs but little more than freight, is less expensive than express, and
much more speedy and dependable than either. Another point which favors those who make

use of this service comes in the fact that when stock is shipped by freight or express, our
responsibility as to its fresh and perfect condition must naturally cease upon delivery to
the transportation companies. While, when delivered direct by motor truck, our responsi-
bility does not end until the stock is delivered on your grounds.

In ordering, please be sure to specify which of these three methods you wish used in
making delivery — freight, express, or motor truck.

To the Reader

E ask your indulgence for again calling attention
WV to the essential incompleteness of the material
contained in the foregoing pages. Our book is
in no way intended as a technical work of reference. It
has been compiled along such radically new and different
ideas of classification and presentation from those
followed in the usual Plant Catalog, that — thus being
what we believe to be the first of its kind, and having
been created upon no pattern or guiding precedent other
than our own ideas and ideals of what would be most
genuinely helpful—it is only a natural consequence
if the result as here presented falls short of that perfec-
tion of completeness which we hope to develop from year
to year in future editions. If it simply serves to carry a
practical suggestion or two for the further beautification
and comfortizing of your home and its surroundings,
and at the same time facilitates the putting of such
suggested improvements into effect, its mission will
have been fulfilled. Should you at any time, however,
desire more detailed information on any of the subjects
touched upon here, please let us know. Many a person
neglects setting out necessary shrubs and trees because
selection and planting seem a difficult task. Let us help
you over any such possible uncertainties and delays.
We are always, and gladly, at the service of the home-
beautifier who wishes to obtain the most thoroughly
suitable plants for each specific need, together with the
very best results from every expenditure made.

It is better not to plant at all than to plant cheap, inferior stock from some unknown
source and be led into disappointment, waste of time, and loss of money. The well-known
infinite care taken in raising Framingham Nursery stock assures the highest possible quality
at a fair price — and you are always certain of what you are getting :— ;
