Hickory, N. C.

Dear Mr. Howard :—

A few years ago your Company
put out some very nice shrubbery
for us at the Hospital. In the mean-
time,we havedonesome more building
here and need a little more shrub-
-bery to set off the premises.

Could you have someone stop by
and give us an estimate of our needs
in shrubbery at the present time? We
have a limited sum to apply to it but
if your Company furnishes us as good
' shrubbery and puts it out as taste-
fully as they did formerly we would
like to purchase another lot.
Would it be convenient for some one
to call here Tuesday, Nov. 12?

Sincerely,
O. E. MILLER, M. D.

(The additional planting was done
in December. )

The Howard-Hickory Co.
Organization

More than a quarter of a century in the nursery
business and over ten years at Hickory, is the
record of the management of The How-
ard-Hickory Co. Connected with the Company
are some of the leading business men of Hickory
—bankers, merchants and manufacturers.

The members of, our landscape staff have had
broad experience. We are prepared to make
plans for small home grounds and large estates,
to furnish all required plant material, and to
plant the trees and shruds if desired.

The men on our planting force know trees and
plants; they know how to grow them in the
fields so they will give best results on your
grounds and in your orchards. The guarantee
printed elsewhere in this price-list shows that
The Howard-Hickory Co. has the utmost confi-
dence in its stock and its ability to fill all
contracts entrusted to them.

The Trees and Shrubs We Sell

All natural things—soil, climate, and rainfall—
seem to favor this locality as a growing station
for nursery stock. Important in themselves, they
must be aided by trained workers in the fields.
Budding and grafting demand skill; planting,
cultivating, pruning cannot be left to ordinary
help. In all these processes we employ trained
men, thus producing stock that is not surpassed
by any grown in the South.

Service to Customers

We shall be glad to offer suggestions for ar-
ranging the ground about the new home, as well
as changing existing plantings. If definite plans
are required, our Landscape Department is pre-
pared to give complete service to home-owners.
Write us for full particulars.

In most cases it is advisable to have our men
plant the trees and shrubs on your grounds. The
cost of this service is nominal, but it is an assur-
ance that the work will be properly done and that
the stock will be given the best possible start.

The Home Orchard

-Well-planned home grounds will certainly con-
tain a few fruit trees and berry plants. On the
large suburban prospects a considerable area
should be devoted to fruits. It is entirely practic-
able to raise all that will be needed by the im-
mediate family and probably have some to dis-
pose of to the neighbors or through the markets.
Possibly a strawberry bed could be laid out at
one side of the garden, and this luscious fruit not
only be served during the strawberry season, but
had in reasonable abundance during the late sum-
mer and fall by using the ever-bearing variety.

Do you know that the twelve great Southern
States grow only sixteen apples out of every hun-
dred produced in the whole United States? And
that the peaches are even less in quantity? We
folks in the South should do better than this. We
ought to grow more apples, more peaches, more
pears—more fruit of all kinds. We have a favor-
able climate, good soil, can ship quickly and or-
dinarily there is help enough to harvest the crops
when at their best. It is a good time to plant
that orchard you have been thinking about.

Doesn’t breakfast taste better when you have
fresh berries or peaches? And is dinner complete
without fruit? Your garden will supply all the
fresh fruit your family may need from day to day
in summer, and a reasonable surplus for preserv-
ing. Ask us to help you in selecting the sorts that
will fit your needs.

- Gentlemen:

I take this opportunity to endorse
your company as one of the best nurserymen
and landscape gardeners in the country. My

dealings with you in the past years have
been imminently satisfactory and your shrub-
bery and work are of the highest order and
I feel that one of the notable things in your
_ favor is your willingness to always guarantee
_ the life of your shrubbery as well as your
_ Work. And when I removed to Raleigh and had
_ occasion to sell my place I had no hesitancy
_ in saying that. the plantings done by your
_ company greatly enhanced the value of my

Planting School Grounds Is A
‘Delightful Specialty )

On the 24th of October I am going to make a
talk on School Ground Planting and Improvement
in North Carolina, before the National Council of
School House Builders, in New York,—at Roches-
ter.

If you can do so, please take a picture of the
Longview School, as it is now. I think you have
given here a very wonderful demonstration of
this sort of thing. I hope you can find a photo-
grapher who can do this, and if so I shall ap-
preciate it more than I can tell you.

I don’t know whether or not Mr. Richardson
has written you about how we feel about our
shrubbery, so I thought I’d write you.

To say that we are delighted is expressing it
too mildly. We had our P. T. A. meeting last
week and after we adjourned all the members

-~ made a tour of the grounds and inspected the
shrubs and evergreens, and were lavish in their
praise, not only over the improvement of the ap-
pearance of the grounds but also of the size and
quality of the shrubs. We feel that you sent us
a fine lot of shrubbery and I’m sure it will be a
fine advertisement for your concern.

MRS. J. T. JONAS, (Marion High School.)
