The Glenwood Nurseries
THEIR STOCK, LOCATION, TRADE, ETC.
/ HE growing importance of the Glenwaod Nurseries as a great and con- venient center for the distribution of nursery stock yearly demands more space for descriptive notes and views.
Thirty years ago they were established, and since that time their growth has been like that of one of their own fine trees, healthy, vig- orous and rapid, taking in fresh acres and skilled new methods every year; spreading symmetrically to cover all lines of outdoor decoration, until now they are superbly stocked with one of the most complete nursery collections, especially of orna- mentals, to be found in the United States.
The collection, propagation and growth of such a stock has thus required many years of careful, persistent research and toil; for we have striven for superiority of quality and- genuineness of variety in all branches of our trade.
Nevertheless, we do not recom- mend everything in this Catalogue as being the very best or most desirable for everybody. Some varieties are best adapted to certain localities; others are singular or grotesque speci- mens of plant growth, admired by many and wanted by only a few. Of many species, the distinction between varieties is so slight that none but experts or amateurs will appreciate them; but it is our business to cater for all tastes, and therefore it is nec- essary to enumerate many things which are valued especially because rare
or odd.
The map shows the central loca- tion of the Glenwoed Nurseries, near Morrisville, Bucks county, Pa., on the line of the Pennsylvania Railroad. They are about one mile from Tren- ton, N. J., thirty miles from Philadel- phia, and sixty miles from New York, and are accessible by either the Penn- sylvania Railroad (New York Division)
are at Morais- ville, Pa., imme- diately opposite Trenton, N. j., thirty miles or forty-five minutes from Philadel- phia, and sixty miles or seventy- seven minutes from New York.

or the Bound Brook route to Trenton, N. J., where carriages can always be obtained at the depots. The Yardley, Morrisville and Trenton trolley line passes our nurseries every hour each way, leaving Calhoun street bridge, Trenton, thirty minutes after the hour, and Yardley, Pa., on the hour. Yardley station, on the Bound Brook Railroad, is about two miles distant. Our nurseries are thus easily accessible from all points, and we are pleased to have customers visit them on any day except the Sabbath. A much better idea of our stock can be obtained in this way than from even the most explicit descriptive catalogue. As in the case of evergreens (page 17), from the height, or even from the number of buds and branches sometimes given, it is not always possible to judge of the value of stock.
Spindiing odds and ends, collected by brokers, might measure more than our well-pruned, bushy, symmetrical young trees, and yet not be worth the planting.
It is here that the advantage of a nursery convenient for the inspection of stock before purchasing is felt, and we cannot too strongly urge upon the owners of large estates the importance of selecting their stock personally, or sending their managers or gardener to do it.
Honest dealing and an intelligent care of our customers has been a feature of our busi- ness from the beginning. We are confident that the customer in search of anything in the horticultural line cannot do better than visit our grounds or write us for estimates.
BUSINESS TERMS
If our prices on any article may appear higher than those of some of our competitors, be assured that they are only enough higher to compensate for the superiority in quality that we expect to give every purchaser. Life is too short to squander in nursing sickly trees or worth- less varieties.
Our Terms are net cash or satisfactory reference. Orders from unknown parties, whose financial rating is not recorded in Dun or Bradstreet, must be accompanied by a Draft on New York or Philadelphia, or Registered Letter or Money Order on Morrisville, Pa.
Please Write Orders on separate sheet, apart from the body of the letter, and be very particular to give name and address distinctly.
Packing and Shipping. No charge is made for packing or for delivery to freight depots or express offices in Trenton, N. J. Plain and explicit shipping directions should be given with every order, naming mode and route for forwarding; otherwise we will use our own judgment; but, upon delivery to railroad, steamboat or express companies, our responsibility ceases.
Errors. In the press of business, errors sometimes may occur, of which we desire to be informed at once, that we may make proper amends, as we wish to render full satisfaction to all favoring us with their custom.
A Certificate of Inspection as to healthfulness and freedom from disease accom- panies every shipment of our stock.
Our Philadelphia Office is at 616 Stephen Girard Building, 21 South Twelfth street, where any information in regard to our nursery stock may be obtained by all in that vicinity, and where all who wish to consult us in regard to Landscape work should apply.

tical knowledge combined can make it. The trees have been grown under a thorough, clean system of cultivation and frequently transplanted to insure an abundance of fibrous roots. They are free from borers, fine, healthy and handsome. Our careful system of packing protects the root-masses, so that they reach purchasers fresh and uninjured. Our suggestions on unpacking and the protection of roots before planting, given on pages 2, 4, 8, 10 and 29, will be of value to inexperienced planters.
LARGE SPECIMEN TREES of many varieties can be furnished at advanced rates. We have many superb specimens at Glenwood that must be seen to be appreciated.
FOR TREES IN LARGE QUANTITIES special quotations will be furnished on applica- tion. Quotations will also be given by the dozen, hundred and thousand, when requested. Reduced rates made to land-improvement companies, or other enterprises needing a large number of moderate-sized trees.
DECIDUOUS TREES may be transplanted at any time after the leaves fall in autumn~ and before they start in spring, providing the ground is not frozen. The various uses to which the different sorts of trees have been found well adapted are given in our list, and may be helpful in selecting trees for any particular purpose.
IMPORTANT GROUPS
Acer: The Maples
For general shade and ornamental purposes the Maples are, perhaps, more largely planted than any other trees. They are regular in outline, beautiful in foliage, vigorous growers, free from all diseases and adapted to all soils. By skilful pruning and culture our Maples are trained into straight, stocky trees, not easily injured by high winds or the ordinary street abuses. The Silver Maple is the most rapid-growing, but for permanency the Sugar and Norway are usually preferred.

PLATE III—A collection of Japanese Maple leaves, showing their wide diversity in form and color (See page 5)
SEK. MAPLES - BIRCHES
The Japanese Maples
These represent the very highest development of complex, vivid beauty in hardy trees and shrubs. ‘They are small and shrub-like in growth, with leaves delicately cut and oddly formed or brightly colored. These characteristics make possible the hardy permanent beds for color, materials for which landscape artists so long sought in vain. The Blood-Leaved is in especia demand for this purpose. Plate III shows how beautiful the Japan Maples are when grown as single specimens. For bordering groups of taller trees and shrubs, or grown in tubs for house decoration, they are equally fine.
These elegant little trees grow slowly, the demand always exceeding the supply, so that prices remain about the same. We select those below as finest and most distinct of all, and offer American-grown plants, which we have found much stronger, more robust and more reliable than those recently imported.

Planted in groups, their spring in- florescence is grand beyond description.
To insure success they should be planted in spring, with their fibrous roots carefully preserved from wind and sun during removal. Almost any good soil suits them, but they like best one that is warm, rich and moderately moist. Our stock of all these varieties is fine and well rooted.

Trim
dwarf trees into pyramids, with the lowest branches not more than 2 or 3 feet from the ground; prune all bruised or broken roots. Our trees reach purchasers with roots well protected, and we cannot too greatly emphasize the importance of keeping them protected as much as possible while they are out of the ground. See also pages 7 and 14.
MORRISVILLE KEKE THE OAKS PENNSYLVANIAD
Quercus - The Oaks
No other class of trees is so majestic and enduring, or so varied in expression. Since the erroneous impression about their slow growth has been dispelled, the demand for them exceeds the supply. Their great vigor and hardihood enables them to withstand the drought of hill- sides, the caustic influences of sea spray, the unnatural conditions of city streets and other similar hardships. For wide lawns, parks, public grounds, avenues, etc., where there is room
for development, few trees are so imposing.
Nursery-grown Oaks, frequently transplanted
and properly pruned, are not difficult to establish. Our stock is in prime condition, with
straight trunks and good masses of fibrous roots.
Q. alba. American Wuite Oak. This noblest of our forest trees retains its vigor and in- creases in grandeur for centuries, and there are notably fine specimens all through the eastern states. 4 to 5 ft., 75 cts. each, $8 per doz.; 5 to 6 ft., $1 each, $10 per doz.; 6 to 7 ft., $1.50 each, $15 per doz.; 8 ft., $2.50 each.
Q. cerris. Turkey Oak. This is a remarkably handsome ornamental sort, beautiful for lawns. It forms a medium-sized tree of thick, dense growth. The acorn-cups are mossy; the leaves are finely lobed and remain deep green until destroyed by frosts. 6 to 8 ft., $1 each, $9 per doz.; 8 to Io ft., $1.50 each, $15 per doz.
Q. coccinea. Scartet Oak. ‘Tall, pyramidal; especially valued for the sparkling red of its autumn foliage. 4 to 5 ft., 75 cts. each, $7 per doz.; 5 to 6 ft., $1 each, $10 per doz.; 6 to 7 ft., $1.50 each, $15 per doz.
@. macrocarpa. Mossy-Cup Oak, Bur Oak. Of massive, open growth, with large, heavy leaves and deeply corrugated bark. The cups of the jarge acorns are curiously fringed with gray moss. Among the noblest and most impressive of all the species. 5 to 6 ft., 75 cts. each, $8 per doz.; 6 to 7 ft., $1 each, $10 per doz.; 8 ft., $1.50 each.
Q. palustris. Pin Oax. This is considered the most beautiful of all the Caks, and is certainly the most popular for street and park planting. As the tree grows the branches droop until the lower ones touch the ground, giving it a peculiarly beautiful ovate outline. The leaves are deep green, glossy and finely divided, flaming to orange and scarlet in the fall. ‘The avenues of Pin

DO NOT UNPACK TREES IN FREEZING WEATHER. If they are received in a frozen condition, or in freezing weather, keep them in a cool situation, but free from frost, until they are perfectly thawed. If deciduous trees become dried or shriveled in transit, bury them com- pletely, roots, trunks and branches, and let them remain six or eight days before planting. ‘The puddling of the roots of all trees and plants in a thin mud before planting is a most excel- lent practice, and ought to be more generally adopted. To ascertain the number of trees or plants required to plant an acre, multiply together the distances each way the plants are to be
set, and divide 43,560 (the number of square feet per acre) by the amount. Io

Specialties at Glenwood Nurseries
HILE the stock at Glenwood offered this spring of 1903 is of unusual excellence and variety, and espe- cially notable for the care with which it has all been grown and cultivated, there are some items to which it is deemed best to call especial attention. These trees and shrubs are all particularly available for immediate planting and effect, and include the best things.
M. aples. Our trees of both SUGAR and NORWAY MAPLES are exceptionally fine. They have been grown far apart, and frequently transplanted and root-pruned. See page 4.
The JAPANESE MAPLES (see Plate III) we have in great variety, with specially good specimens of the dark-leaved sorts. See page 5.
Oaks. The old idea that an Oak cannot be grown to respectable size and to decorative effect in an ordinary lifetime has been exploded. Vigorous, healthy, well-nurtured trees, properly handled, give a prompt, fine and permanent effect. Our trees of all the best sorts are very fine.
We mention especially the PIN OAK, the most rapid in growth and satisfactory in effect. It is a magnificent tree for avenues, parks and lawns. Plate IV shows lusty young trees on a lawn. See page 9g.
Catalpa Bunget, with its rounded head and rich, tropical leaves on tall stems, is exceedingly effective on the lawn (see Plate V). We have a large supply of superb specimens. See page 6
Cut-Leaved W eeping Birch, a most graceful and attractive
tree, is effective from the start. Our trees are in fine shape. See page 5.
Purple Beech gives a distinct color note on the lawn, and forms a most beautiful rounded head. We have perfect specimens. See page 6.
Ginkgo, or Salisburia, the ‘‘ Maidenhair Fern Tree,’’ is of peculiarly effective character. It makes an ideal avenue tree. See page 12.
Oriental Plane, or European Buttonwood, is among the very best trees of rapid growth. It gives a quick effect, and is most desir- able. We have an exceptionally fine stock. See page 13.

Hemlock Spruce is the most graceful of all the coniferous Ever- greens. It is valuable either for single specimens, to form groups on the lawn, or to be used as a hedge plant. We have a great stock in the sizes from 2 to 3% feet. See page 21.
tJ Koster S Blue Spruce, an especially fine variety of the Colorado Blue Spruce, is a tree of most notable beauty. Our specimens, from 2 to 3% feet, are shapely and good, and of the richest light blue hue. See page 18.
Tr ce Box, trained to either the BUSH or PYRAMIDAL form, is now used to give certain formal effects, for which its hardiness and evergreen foliage make it especially suitable. We have a fine stock. See page 24.
Dwarf Box for edging is again largely used. Our stock is first- class. See page 24.
Retinosporas are perhaps the most elegant in appearance of any of the coniferous Evergreens. ‘Their feathery foliage and distinct coloring both recommend them. AUREA, of a fine golden effect; PLUMOSA, with deli- cate twigs, and SQUARROSA, a form of a blue tinge, are among the best. See page 21.
Azalea QAMO0ena. Of this splendid low-growing flowering shrub we have certainly the largest and finest stock in the United States. ‘The opportunity to secure this plant in quantity does not often occur. See page 25.
Rhododendrons. Great attention is now being paid to both the native and exotic forms of these magnificent evergreen shrubs. Of the Native species we are prepared to supply car-load lots for extensive planters. The choicest hybrids we have also in large variety. See page 26.
California Privet still maintains its popularity as the best hedge plant, either for free natural effects, or the more formal sheared results. Our stock is extensive in both 1- and 2-year-old sizes. See pages 30 and 38.
Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora is undoubtedly the one finest deciduous flowering shrub. It fits any situation and any form. We have the best possible plants. See page 29.
Magnolias should not be overlooked in any well-considered planting. On pages 7 and 8 will be found a list of the best standard sorts, as well as mention of the newer Japanese variety, STELLATA.
Teas’ W eeping Mulberry is now grown to large size, to form
a small summer-house or play-tent on the lawn. It forms a most con- spicuous ornament. See page 14.

CEKe ee MSD, EVERGREENS PENNSYLVANI:
Coniferous Ebergreens
VERGREENS are our great specialty. To grow and sell the finest in the United States has been our aim for over a quarter of acentury. The successful trans- planting and handsome growth of ‘‘ Moon’s Evergreens’’ have become prover- bial, and the ever-increasing demand is both reward to past and incentive to further efforts.
The soil of Glenwood Nurserics is especially adapted to the growth of Evergreens, insuring fine, fibrous roots. Frequent root-pruning in midsum- mer and early autumn also contributes largely to their success when trans- planted, and our method of shipping large specimen trees, with balls of earth and burlap coverings about the roots, practically insures fine growth when planted again. We recom- mend spring planting for all Evergreens, though successful plantings can also be made in August and September.
Evergreens cannot be valued by height alone. The shearings frequently given them are to reduce their height, and make them grow into beautiful symmetrical specimens. Their structural form and root-masses should determine the value of all trees and shrubs.
This fact makes it very difficult to describe Evergreens fully, and accounts for difference in prices where but slight difference in height occurs. We cannot too much emphasize the fact that buyers of large specimen Evergreens should, when at all practicable, visit the nur- series from which they contemplate buying. The central location of Glenwood Nurseries, as shown by the map on page 1, is thus an advantage that is yearly more appreciated.
Besides their recognized value as specimen trees, shelter belts, screens, hedges, etc., the tall Evergreens form perfect backgrounds for the showy flowering shrubs and trees of early spring, the berries of autumn, the bright bark and twigs of winter, or the light green, golden or silver-blue growths of smaller Evergreens. ‘The landscape gardener doubles the effect of all these by giving each one its proper Evergreen foil.
With Evergreens of moderate growth beautiful effects are produced by planting close together in beds varieties that contrast finely. For such hardy beds of permanent color, the Retinosporas, Arborvites, Blue Spruces, etc., are particularly useful. Hotels and private houses also use them for filling window boxes and for pots in hallways, etc. ‘The different forms of Arborvite, Retinospora, Spruce, Pine and Juniper are preferred for this purpose. The contrasting colors of green, silvery blue and golden foliage give a gay and beautiful appearance to these combinations, whether in window-boxes or in more extensive outdoor plantings of beds or borders. There is an increasing appreciation of and demand for these evergreen decorations.
If those who wish to plant largely will confer with us, we can offer special inducements on certain varieties in quantity. Our trees have been recently transplanted, and are remark- ably well supplied with fibrous roots, which our careful and scientific packing preserves in full vigor through the longest shipments.

Pinus - The Pines
The Pines, like the junipers, are exceedingly hardy, grow fast, and are therefore of great value for our climate. They are bold and handsome or picturesque in growth and so diverse in character that species may be selected to suit any situation or grounds of almost any extent. It has been said that ‘‘when in doubt’’ a landscape gardener or forester always plants Pines, and certainly they are among our very best trees for specimens, groups, shelter-belts, screens and general park purposes.

All forms transplant so readily, are so neat, compact, and, in many cases, so brightly colored that landscape gardeners use them in a dozen different ways: for contrastive group- ing, bedding and bordering, for cemetery and lawn specimens, hedges, screens, etc., and also for house decoration. The American or Western Arborvites are hardier, grow larger and are more generally useful than the Biota or Eastern species, which are yet so beautiful that they are weil worth a little care in protection. The leaf-forms of most species are as delicate as those of rare ferns. Their early summer growth is particularly attractive. We offer a superb stock of all the finer and more useful species.

LIMONIUM trifoliatum. Harpy Orancez. This large shrub is curious and thorny, but at- tractive for many reasons. Its glossy round- ish leaflets are borne in threes, its sweet white flowers early in spring, its small, bright reddish oranges in fall. ‘The latter are not edible, but very showy. Where hardy, as it is here, it is a valuable protec- tive hedge plant, and it is beautiful enough for planting anywhere. 30c. each, $3 perdoz.
MAHONIAS. The richness of their holly- like, glossy leaves, their neat habit and beau-
tiful flowers give the Mahonias great popu- larity for ornamental planting. They grow from I to § feet, and thrive best when they can be grouped on the shaded northern side of buildings or tree groups. M. aquifolia, Ho tty-Leaveo Manonia, has showy, bright yellow flowers in May, followed by blue berries for winter decoration. Its upper leaves are bronzed to red in winter, and its winter effect against the coniferous Ever- greens is rich and attractive. 1 to1/% ft., 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. M. Japonica is of more upright habit than M. aquifolia and bears a profusion of yellow flowers in early spring. But its striking characteristic is its large, distinct glossy green leaves. Very desirable. 1 to 2 ft., 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.; 2 to 3 ft., 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz.
Azaleas and Rhododendrons
AZALEAS
For richness and beauty of tints the Azalea has no parallel among flowers. Abed of well- selected varieties in full flower, with a dark green foil such as Evergreens afford, is one of the grandest shows of spring. In the different varieties are seen softest tints of buff, apricot and primrose; dazzling ones of apricot, sal- mon, orange and vermilion. Planted as speci- mens, in beds by themselves, or with Rhodo- dendrons, they are beautiful and much admired.
A. amena. Evergreen, and the most showy of very dwarf shrubs. In the spring the little bushes are a mass of bright, rosy pur- ple flowers; all winter their leaves are bronzy purple. For bordering drives and edging beds of taller Azaleas and Rhodo- dendrons. 6 to 8 in., bushy, from open

HESE two magnificent shrubs vie with each other in splendor of bloom, are given the same culture and usually grouped together. ‘Their blossoming in May and June is always the grand event of the season. Azaleas love the shelter afforded by the Rhododendron’s dark leaf-masses, and their brilliant flowers show finest against such a foil. After their flowers have faded the Rhododendrons’ great flower-cones

At all times they are needed as a
brilliant undergrowth and supplement to the trees planted. Large estates now make lavish use of them for groups, beds, borders, screens, etc., as well as for specimens.
They need little care.
At Glenwood Nurseries we grow a fine, full line of shrubs, transplanted, well rooted, well developed, and in various sizes from small plants of a year’s growth to specimen shrubs
of mature development, some 6 to 8 feet high.
We shall be glad to furnish estimates to all

as much as possible while out of the ground. The exposure of the roots of some kinds of trees to a severe drying wind or a hot sun for an hour is sure death to them. Particularly is this the case with evergreens, as their sap is resinous and when dried cannot be restored to its normal condition.

It is just as bright in autumn, but does not cling so close to walls and is more useful for lattice-work, screens, tree trunks, etc. Its variety, A. q. Engelmanni, which clings more closely and grows very fast, is often used for covering buildings, etc. A. tricolor has grape-like leaves, beautifully marbled with white, pink and green. The four varieties are 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.; extra-sized plants, 40 cts. each, $4 per doz. A. Muralis resembles the American variety, but is more slender and shorter-jointed, with smaller leaves. 35 cts.

LONICERA. Tue Honeysuckues. These loved old vines have lately been put to a number of new uses, especially in the line of cover- ing hedges and bare patches of ground on banks and under trees where grass will not grow. For porches, trellises and arbors they have always been popular. In sheltered places they are nearly evergreen. L. brachy- poda aurea reticulata, the Japan GoLpEN Honeysuckie, has bright yellow leaves, veined with green, and clusters of fragrant cream-colored flowers. L. Halliana, Haw’s Honeysuck ez, one of the best and most useful forms, bears continuous crops of sweet white and buff blossoms. L. sempervirens, the ScarteT Trumpet Honeysuck te, is most bril- liant of all in bloom. It has thick clusters of long, tubular scarlet blossoms and bluish green leaves. L. Sinensis, or Japonica, has fragrant white and pink flowers. L. brachy- poda holds its glossy green leaves later in the autumn than any other variety.
