What Our Landscape Department Does
It is our aim to show the best methods of obtaining the most desirable results in ornamental tree- planting, and we invite correspondence in reference thereto. We draw plans showing the location of drives and walks as well as the arranging of decorative tree-planting, taking the grounds in the rough or undeveloped state and bringing them to the finest condition attainable.
Consult us about the grouping of deciduous trees, including varieties to produce the quickest possible results, as well as arranging for the distant future by adding the century-living varieties, and also consult us about the best evergreens to plant in a limited space or on broader expanse, to produce that rich variety of color obtainable both in the taller-growing and the dwarf varieties.
We will gladly give advice regarding the planting of a bank of shrubbery not only intended to be a beauty in itself, producing a succession of bloom throughout the season, but at the same time being placed so as to screen some unattractive background.
We will give lists of varieties to plant in the herbaceous border, which seem to give the maximum of results in the minimum of space at a moderate cost. The remodel- ing of old lawns with their possibilities for the grouping of Rhododendrons or other shrubs thriving in shady quarters, —all such questions claim our attention.
The arrangement of the formal garden, with its never-ending interest, is a sub- ject to which we give particular care.
Our operations are confined to no par- ticular field or place; whether near or

The enwood Nurseries
THEIR STOCK EOCA TION, TRADE, ETC:
HE growing importance of the Glenwood Nurseries as a great and convenient center for the distribution of nursery stock yearly demands more space for descriptive notes and views.
Thirty-one years ago they were established, and since that time their growth has: been like that of one of their own fine trees,—healthy, vigorous and rapid, taking in fresh acres and skilled new methods every year ; spread- ing symmetrically to cover all lines of outdoor decoration, until now they are
superbly stocked with one of the most complete nursery collections, especially of ornamentals,
to be found in the United States.
The collection, propagation and growth of such a stock has thus required many years of careful, persistent re- search and toil; for we have striven for superiority of quality and genuineness of variety in all branches of our trade.
Nevertheless, we do not recommend 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 specimens 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 enthusiasts will appre- ART OW BR ciate them; but it is our business to OTTSVILLE mc \\ cater to all tastes, and therefore it is necessary to enumerate many things which are valued especially because rare or odd.
The map shows the central location of the Glenwood Nurseries, near Mor- risville, Bucks county, Pa., on the line of the Pennsylvania Railroad. They are about one mile from Trenton, N. J., thirty miles from Philadelphia, and sixty miles from New York, and are acces- sible by either the Pennsylvania Railroad

(New York Division), or the Bound Brook route to Trenton, N. J., where carriages can always be obtained at the depots. The New Jersey and Pennsylvania Traction Company’s trolley passes our nurseries, leaving Warren and Hanover streets, Trenton, N. J., and Yardley, Pa. Yardley station, on the Bound Brook Railroad, is about two miles distant. Our nurseries are thus easily acces- sible 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, 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.
Spindling odds and ends might measure more than our well-pruned, bushy, symmetrical young trees, and yet not be worth the planting.
Itis here that the advantage of a nursery convenient for the inspection of stock before pur- chasing is felt, and we cannot too strongly urge upon the owners of large estates the importance of selecting their stock personally, or sending their superintendents or gardeners to do it.
Honest dealing and intelligent care of our customers has been a feature of our business 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 ex- pect 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 par- ticular 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 in- formed 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 accompanies 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.

BLOCK OF EVERGREENS AT GLENWOOD
Coniferous Evergreens
VERGREENS are our great specialty. To grow and sell the finest in the United States has been our aim for over a quarter of a century. The successful transplanting and hand- some growth of ‘‘Moon’s Evergreens’’ have become proverbial, and the ever-increasing
demand is both reward to past and incentive to further efforts.
The soil of Glenwood Nurseries is especially adapted to the growth of Evergreens, insuring fine, fibrous roots. Frequent root-pruning in midsummer and early autumn also contributes largely to their success when transplanted, and our method of shipping specimen trees, with balls of earth and burlap covering about the roots, practically insures fine growth when planted again. Evergreens may be planted in spring, or with equal success later, in August and September.
They cannot be valued by height alone. The shearings frequently given them are to reduce their height, and make them grow into beautiful symmetrical specimens. The 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 price where but slight difference in height occurs. At Glenwood we have many specimen Ever- greens, whose beauty must be seen to be fully appreciated, and we cannot too strongly emphasize the fact that buyers should, when at all possible, visit our nurseries to inspect the splendid stock we offer. The central location of the Glenwood Nurseries, as shown by the map on page 3, is thus an advantage that is yearly more realized.
Besides their recognized value for specimen trees, massing, 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.
With Evergreens of moderate growth, beautiful effects are produced by planting close

together in beds, varieties that contrast finely. Forsuch hardy beds of permanent color, the Retinosporas, Arborvites, Blue Spruce, etc., are particularly useful. Hotels and private houses alsouse them for filling win- dow boxes and _ jardiniéres for interior decoration. The different forms of Arborvite, Retinospora, Spruce, Pine and Juniper are preferred for this purpose. The con- trasting colors of green, silvery blue and golden foli- age give a gay and beautiful appearance to these combi- nations, whether in window- boxes or in more extensive outdoor plantings of beds or borders. There is an in- creasing appreciation of and demand for these evergreen decorations.
If those who intend plant- ing Evergreens will confer with us, wecan offer valuable suggestions and may be able to name special inducements on certain varieties in quan- tity. Our trees, having been recently transplanted, are remarkably well supplied with fibrous roots, which our careful digging and packing preserve in full vigor through the longest shipments.

Pinus *-> Phe Pines
The Pines endure a wide range of climatic conditions. They are natives of our lowlands and mountainous regions, and withstand well the cold, bleak winds to which they are subjected. They are mostly of pyramidal habit, grow rapidly, and are not particular as to soil. Pines are very ornamental and useful on lawns and public grounds. They are so diverse in character that species may be selected for even the smallest areas as well as for vast estates. In groups, shelter-belts or as tall screens their value is highly appreciated. We annually root-prune our Pines so that they develop fine fibrous roots, enabling us to dig and ship them with balls of earth with very little risk
in transplanting.
Pinus Austriaca. AUSTRIAN PINE. A tall, massive tree, with spreading branches, heavily plumed with long, stiff, dark green needles. A useful species along the coast, and grows equally well inland. It is popular for group- ing or as specimens.

Azaleas, Rhododendrons and Kalmias
These three grand flowering shrubs are all fond of shady situations, and their blooming in May and early summer is always the grand event of the floral season. They should be given the same care, and are frequently grouped together.
Kalmias and Rhododendrons are especially desirable for massing and edging wooded drives. Azaleas love the shelter afforded by the Rhododendrons’ dark leaf-masses, and their brilliant flowers show finest against such foliage. After their flowers are faded the Rhododendrons’ great flower-cones are glorious for a month or more, and their bright glossy foliage is attractive the
year round.
AZALEAS
For richness and beauty of tints the Aza.ea has no parallel among flowers. A bed 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 and prim- rose; dazzling ones of apricot, salmon, orange and vermilion. Planted as specimens, in beds by themselves, or with Rhododendrons, they are beautiful and much admired.
Azalea amena. A bushy, dwarf evergreen with small green leaves that deepen to a lustrous coppery hue in winter. Its neat appearance is attractive at all seasons, but in April or May the whole plant is clothed with a mass of brilliant, claret-colored flowers, that hold their beauty three or four weeks. Such beau- tiful little plants are ornaments anywhere, and are especially desirable for edging drives

RHODODENDRONS
Formerly these shrubs were not considered hardy, but experience has proven that when selected intelligently there are varieties that grow successfully as far north as Boston. In early summer there are no flowers more gor- geous than these grand shrubs, that are then aglow with their great masses of bloom. But not only at this season are they attractive, for the heavy shiny green leaves cheerfully enliven the landscape even in winter. If planted in front of evergreen shelter-belts their glossy foli- age appears to delightful advantage against the more somber hues of the conifers that protect them from the prevailing winds. In groups or masses the varied colors of the flowers blend harmoniously together, and make a brilliant ornament wherever seen. Planted separately on small lawns they form grand specimens that flower abundantly.
Rhododendrons do well in most soils, free from limestone, and to obtain success from them no such expensive methods of preparing the ground are required as are sometimes advo- cated, though they willingly respond to such treatment. In summer a light mulch of cut grass retains the moisture, and in winter a heavier mulch of manure protects the roots, and frequently a slight covering is required to shel- ter the flower-buds and foliage. After each flowering season the dead bloom should be picked to prevent seeding, and allow the en- ergies of the plant to develop flower-buds for the next year.
The Rhododendrons stand without an equal among the flowering shrubs, and to retain their supremacy possess the crowning virtue of flowering in all their glory the same season as planted. They may be moved successfully either in spring or fall. We dig and ship all our Rhododendrons with balls of earth about their roots. We offer assorted colors and named varieties at the following prices:

R. maximum. GREAT LAUREL. A native shrub that is beautiful among our mountainous re- gions, in June and July, when its great white (sometimes rosy pink) flower masses appear in full bloom along the roadsides or on banks of streams. The landscape engineer uses them in much the same way that nature does ; for covering banks, for groups or masses in shady situations, as an undergrowth in wooded places or for planting beside drives and paths, nothing is more pleasing. Its heavy, glossy green leaves make a magnificent setting for the large showy flowers, and its vigorous, hardy growth makes it desirable in many places. 4 to 5 feet, $1.50 each, $15 per doz.
We control several hundred acres of vigor- ous, bushy Rhododendron maximum, ranging in height from 1% to 7 feet, from which we can supply large quantities of collected plants in car-load lots. We dig these with large balls of leaf-loam that are carefully preserved about their roots, and moistened in transit by a liberal covering of wet moss. These arrive in good condition and withstand transplanting especially well. From one consignment of six car-loads of collected Rhododendrons shipped last spring, our customer lost less than 2 per cent of the plants.
We solicit correspondence with all desiring to purchase native Rhododendrons in quantity and are confident we can name satisfactory quotations.

Ornamental Shade I rees
UR stock of Ornamental Shade Trees is as complete as scientific and practical 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, and are fine, healthy and handsome. Our careful system of packing protects the root-masses, so that they reach purchasers fresh and uninjured.
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, and we are glad to have visitors call and make personal selections.
FOR TREES IN LARGE QUANTITIES special quotations will be furnished on application. Quota- tions 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 tall 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. We are always glad to put our experience at the service of our customers, to aid in making selections.

Acer - The Maples
Maples are planted, perhaps, more largely than any other trees. They are hardy and well adapted to almost every soil; are attractive, vigorous growers, and remarkably free from the attacks of injurious insects. Their shade is cool and dense, and for this they are indispensable in all lawn, park or avenue plantings. In autumn the brilliant coloring of their leaves is everywhere commented upon. The Silver Maple is the most rapid-growing, but for permanency the Sugar
and Norway are usually preferred.

The Japanese Maples
These represent the highest development of complex, vivid beauty in hardy trees and shrubs. They are small and bush-like in growth, with leaves delicately cut and oddly formed or brightly colored. These characteristics make possible the hardy, permanent beds for color materials long sought for in vain. 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. We have selected the finest and most distinct varie- ties and offer American-grown plants, which are stronger, more robust and more reliable than imported ones.
Acer polymorphum. A small, handsome, bushy tree, with deeply lobed copperish green foli- age that turns a beautiful crimson in autumn. The parent form of many of the varieties ; itis attractive, either in groups or as a specimen.

Salisburia
Salisburia adiantifolia. GINKGO, or MAIDEN- HAIR TREE. Recently this tree has sprung into great popularity, and it merits the praise it receives. It is remarkable as a deciduous member of the Pine family, with odd-shaped leaves that resemble those of the Maidenhair fern. But its value lies in the fact that it is immune from the ordinary attacks of insects and withstands so well the unnatural condi- tions of our cities. It is highly ornamental on lawns or public grounds, and useful for street planting. It is of medium height, pyramidal in growth, sparsely branched and of charac- teristic irregular outline.

Hardy Flowering Shrubs
N emphasizing the importance of shrubbery, a prominent landscape gardener recently said: ‘‘If one-tenth the trouble wasted on carpet-bedding and other fleeting but costly rubbish had been spent on Flowering Shrubs, American gardens would look much the better for it today.’’ At
some seasons shrubs supply half the bloom and beauty of our grounds, as well as cozy nooks and screens. 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 who appreciate good stock, with good roots, at moderate prices.

Hardy Garden Roses
The beauty of the Rose is so widely appreciated that the popularity it now enjoys and the demand for hardy garden Roses are annually increasing. In old-fashioned gardens, in borders, along garden walks, or on arbors the sweet perfume of blooming Roses is a source of constant delight to all who grow them. For garden planting the Hybrid Perpetual Roses are the most vigorous growers, and they flower abundantly in June, with scattered blooms that open even late in the fall. Our assortment of these ‘‘ Everblooming Roses’’ has been culled of varieties not found generally hardy and satisfactory, and we have added several new desirable kinds to
