TRANSPORTATION. We do not pay transportation
charges. We ship either by parcel post, express or freight,
in the manner which will be most economical for you con-
sistent with the nature of the material you have ordered.
In the case of parcel post, our practice is to ship C. O. D.
for the amount of the postage. The size of the package
we can send in this manner is limited by Government
regulations. Fruit Trees, Evergreens, Large Shrubs and
Shade Trees have to be shipped by freight or by express.
We find, occasionally, a customer who objects to the
C. O. D. feature concerned with shipments by mail.
Where this feeling exists we should be advised at the time
the order is placed.
CLAIMS. Our responsibility ceases when your order has
been received by you in good condition. ‘Technically it
ceases when your goods have been delivered to the carrier
in good condition. If any stock is received by you and
found to be unsatisfactory through any fault of ours this
fact should be brought to our immediate attention. We
must insist that this be done within five days after receipt.
Should you receive a shipment in bad order, the result
of its transportation, be sure to bring this to the attention
of the Carrier’s agent and to secure the bad order receipt
with which to substantiate the claim you will make.

Leap Mold Prat and Fine Needles
Most of the native plants grow -naturally in a soil com-
posed largely of leaf mold peat. The Orchids, Arbutus and
the acid-loving plants are fond of a soil composed of de-
composing pine needles. We have so many calls for these
materials that we are offering them in two-bushels bags. A
combination of the two, the peat mixed into the soil to a
depth of several inches, with the pine needles used as a
mulch on the surface, will produce a soil condition ad-
mirably suited for the Orchids and for Arbutus.
LEAF MOLD PEAT. This is a superior grade of peat
which we have here at Putney. The bed is very old,
the disintegration so complete that the peat is readily
incorporated into the soil existing in a wild garden. It
can be mixed or used as a mulch. We recommend mixing
it to a depth of several inches as it is decidedly retentive
of moisture, supplies considerable nourishment and will
be found extremely helpful in growing the native plants.
Price $2.00 per two-bushel bag, $8.50 per 5 bags.
As a mulch around Arbutus Plants and
PINE NEEDLES.
in the planting of the Orchids, particularly Cypripedium
Acaule, Pine Needles will be of great help. We will send
you material which is particularly decomposed and ideal
for the purpose intended. Price $1.50 per two-bushel
bag, $6.50 per 5 bags.
VERMONT BASKETS
Baskets are most useful at all times. The ones that we offer are handmade here in Putney of
Vermont Ash and Oak which will last for years. Any number of uses suggest themselves for them,
such as shopping, for gifts, cut flowers, for picking fruit and berries, for taking a pie or cake to the
church dinner, or for putting up a delicious lunch for an automobile trip. There are specially made
shapes and sizes for these and a hundred other uses.
Special discounts given on orders received from churches, charitable associations and garden
clubs for resale at bazaars and fairs. We do not have the space here for full description and prices,

the information which they need to allow them to plant these
trees and plants properly.

When you plant Pears bear in mind that they will fruit
better if two or more varieties are planted together. Such
varieties as Bartlett and Sheldon should never be planted

stock as these varieties do not unite with the Quince root on
which other varieties are grafted to make dwarf trees.

GREEN MOUNTAIN EVERBEARING' STRAW-
RED RASPBERRIES
RASPBERRY PLANTS
Not only are Raspberries one of the most delicious of
all fruits for home use, but they are also one of the safest
to plant commercially. In our twenty years of growing
Raspberries there has never been a time but what all we
produced could be sold.
Plant on good, well-drained soil, on a slope, if possible,
and cultivate freely. Fertilize with chemicals and wood
ge rather than manure. Of the red varieties about 2,400
© 3,000 plants per acre are required, planted two and one-
half to three feet apart in rows six feet apart. The black
and purple varieties, planted three feet apart in rows seven
feet apart, take about 2,000 plants per acre.
COLUMBIAN (Purple). This is the standard purple
raspberry. fakes no sucker plants but roots from the
tips. With good conditions extremely heavy yields are
obtained. Splendid for canning. $1.00 per 12, $1.75
per 25, $5.00 per 100, $35.00 per 1,000.
LATHAM (Red). The leading commercial variety of the
country. Erect canes, very hardy, a heavy yielder, a
good shipper. Fair quality. 75¢ per 12, $1.50 per 25,
$4.50 per 100, $35.00 per 1,000.
NEWBURGH (Red). This has proven itself to be one
of the heaviest yielding and the hardiest of all raspber-
ries. Newburgh bears very heavy crops of immense berries,
ripening in mid-season. Fruit is of good quality and
very firm, making it a shipping raspberry. Very re-
sistant to disease. The canes are medium height. $1.50
per 25, $5.00 per 100, $35.00 per 1,000.
PLUM FARMER (Black). One of the finest black-cap
Faspberries ripening early in the season. Tip-plants 75c
per 12, $1.50 per 25, $5.00 per 100, $35.00 per 1,000.
TAYLOR. A new and extremely delicious raspberry of
highest quality. Huge berries throughout the season.
Earlier than Latham. $1.50 per 25, $5.00 per 100,
$40.00 per 1,000.
ASPARAGUS
MARY WASHINGTON. This variety has superseded
practically all other kinds. Very large and rust resistant.
1 yr. No. 1—60c per 25, $1.50 per 100, $10.00 per
1,000. 2 yr. No. 1—75c per 25, $2.00 per 100, $15.00
per 1,000.
RHUBARB
EARLY SCARLET or STRAWBERRY RHUBARB.
15e each, $1.00 per 10, $8.00 per 100.
BLACKBERRY PLANTS
Culture same as for Raspberries. Avoid frosty locations,
although Snyder has withstood 35 below zero and borne
crops.
SNYDER. A safe variety to plant for home or market.
Upright grower. Fruit large and of good quality if
allowed to ripen fully on the bushes. $1.50 per 25,
$4.00 per 100, $30.00 per 1,000.
ELDORADO. The finest quality blackberry and very
hardy. Almost lost to cultivation for several years, but
we have a small stock to offer at last. $1.50 per 12,
$2.50 per 25.
STRAWBERRY PLANTS
A good bed of strawberries will reduce the living expenses
tremendously. They should be planted on rich soil that
has been plowed a year previous. Do not fertilize with
wood ashes or any material containing lime. Most varieties
are planted eighteen inches apart in rows four feet apart.
Everbearing kinds produce more berries if planted in hills
and not allowed to make plants.

POTGROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS
Many people think that best results are obtained by
planting potgrown Strawberry plants in August and Septem-
ber, as these plants will bear a fairly good crop the follow-
ing season. We will have available for delivery in August
and September, 1941, potgrown plants of leading varieties.
BERRY is a patented variety, originating here at the
nurseries: The purchase of plants entitles you to grow
as many as you wish for your own planting. Before
growing plants to sell or otherwise dispose of, arrange-
ments must be made with us.
Finest of the FALL BEARING STRAWBERRIES
we have ever grown.
The plants are extremely vigorous and exceptionally free
from disease.
The fruit is large, firm, very bright in color and of
superior quality. A splendid berry for the market or
for home consumption. In the production of both plants
and berries we have found it superior to Mastodon or to
any other everbearing strawberry we have grown.
Excellent reports of GREEN MOUNTAIN have been
had from other sections of the country. Evidently
GREEN MOUNTAIN prefers a heavy soil to one which
is light and sandy. The Summer season is late. This last
Summer we picked berries fully ten days after the last of
the Howard 17 were gone. The Fall crop is also late,
averaging from September 20th to November Ist. The
largest crop is borne the second Fall.
For a bumper FALL CROP keep the blossoms picked
until August Ist. After harvesting two Fall crops it is
our custom to let the plants produce a Summer crop the
third season,

SUGAR MAPLE
The ideal shade tree. In planting sugar maple you plant for the future as well
as the present, since these trees grow more beautiful each year for generations.
Gorgeous orange and yellow Autumn coloring. Ideally suited for planting along
country lanes and driveways or to shade old-fashioned Colonial or Cape Cod houses.
Medium fast growing.
For sizes and prices see “Shade Trees.”
AMERICAN HEMLOCK
The most graceful and beautiful of Northern evergreens.
Plant them in masses with white birch and shadblow as a background for your
evergreen planting or wild garden. They are beautiful, too, in the winter garden,
laden with snow and hung with tiny nutbrown cones.
Hemlock makes the most beautiful and enduring of evergreen hedges. It may
be clipped to any height from three feet to ten feet and makes a solid impenetrable
wall of green.
For sizes and prices see “Evergreens.”
NORTHERN CANOE BIRCH
Northern New England is long remembered for the gleaming white trunks of
SUGAR MAPLE the paper birches. Backed by emerald masses of hemlock and fringing the maple
groves as they clamber up and down over the hills, they suggest to us the many
places on our own grounds where they would make a lovely picture. Plant them
in the wild garden or against dark evergreens. Plant them along a tiny stream or
by a pool where their white trunks will be reflected in the water; or, if you have
a dull fence corner, plant a clump of three-trunk birches and transform it straight-
away into a garden.
