Here’s a chance to save yourself money and still get good landscape plants at a true bargain price. The -cost of good says William Cooley of Wayside Floral Gardens, is chiefly in the last year or two of growth plus the expense of sales handling. Now Wayside Floral Gardens has a surplus of small (8 to 12 inches tall) evergreens, These are ready to be set in nursery rows, grown on there to full-size. But full-size evergreens must be root-balled by a man who knows how to do it. That costs the nursery (and buyer) money. Instead, sell you these amall sized plants, now in pots or with easily handled tiny root balls, for from 65¢ to 85c. The plants have been twice transplanted. In a year or two years,
| if grown on in nursery rows or | in your yard, they will be worth | from $5 to $8. There is a wide
range of varieties. These evergreens will be on display so you can look them over at Wayside Floral Gardens. Drive out to Wayside for a real bargain in evergreens. Wayside Floral Gardens, 7301 Pendleton Pike, CH. 2222. Open Sundays.

Good landscaping, advises the Indianapolis Landscape Association, means a planting well-. designed, well planted, and well maintained. It cannot be achieved by a hit or miss hodgepodge of shrubs, It will not be achieved by a so-called bargain collection of shrubs. Members of the Indianapolis Landscape Association are prepared to
design plantings that will give _
you lasting satisfaction because the plarits are suited to this climate, because they will grow at the same rate to maintain their: balanced beauty ty'ough the years. Members of the Indianapolis Landscape Association likewise are prepared to plant your trees and shrubs the right way, and’ to maintain them properly once they're
| planted. Whatever your need—
for landscape design, for planting, maintenance, rock work,
| or spraying, deal with. a mem-
ber of tha Indianapolis Land-: scapa Association and deal with . confidence. ;
