WELLANDERS ARE BEAUTIFYING THEIR LAWNS

[Welland Telegraph, 10 September 1910]

             With the growth of the town, it is interesting to note the desire on the part of the citizens to improve the grounds surrounding their residences. Until recently the great majority of the people have planted out a shrub, or a tree or two, in a haphazard way, and as long as they had plenty of shade, no thought was given as to the varieties selected. This has changed. With the large nurseries located nearby, people are bestowing more thought as to the varieties of trees and shrubs planted. This is as it should be. There is as much taste and thought to be used in planting the grounds surrounding a residence as in planning the house itself.

             Brown Brothers of Browns Nurseries have anticipated the demand for ornamental stock and have a complete assortment of all trees, shrubs and perennials such as can be grown in this district. You can drive out some day and see their stock, or phone them for a copy of “Beautiful Landscapes Quickly Produced.” Brown Brothers have in their employ a competent landscape engineer and are making a specialty of laying out parks, cemeteries, school grounds, public and private grounds of all kinds. If you are going to do any extensive planting, it will cost you nothing extra to have the work properly done. Call up this firm through the Ridgeville exchange. They will be glad to make suggestions or have their landscape architect call personally.
