Landscape Gardening.

We do Landscape Gardening as far as the laying out and planting of estates is concerned, using taste and judgment to produce a handsome and iinmediate effect. We would be pleased to talk with you on these lines.

Reliable.

We are Reliable Nurserymen for the following reasons: 1st—We do not sub- stitute plants. You get what you order and pay for.

2d—The stock is perishable and great care is always exercised to pack and ship promptly after digging so as to arrive in fresh condition. 3d—Our stock is RESIS CIERS every plant of it.

4th—During the Spring and Fall shipping season it is our policy to super- intend the selection ae packing of all plants personally. There is a great rush, as the packing season is short and by exercising this care you are saved from disappointment.

5th—It is the policy of this firm to sell direct to the planters only, conse- quently our entire time is devoted to this branch of the business, and we can take greater pains with it.

To our customers who desire @ superintendent or gardener

On account of our wide acquaintance of this class of men we are often asked what we know of positions of this character by men who desire to change em- plovers for the following reasons: 1Ist-—-Some have been long with their present emplover and are tired of the place. 2d—Some wish to change to obtain better wages. 3d—Some with landscape ability wish new places where there is some bustle and activity. 4th—Others are temporarily unemploved for various reasons. In case you write to us on this subject you must state the nativity, age, and the experience necessary, etc.,.of the man you require. We will recommend to you any one that we know of at the time who ts worthy.

To superintendents, gardeners and second gardeners

If you desire at any time to secure a position through us you must send in the particulars as to your nativity, age, whether married or single, and the umber in your family and your qualifications as to Landscape Gardening, out-door work, and work under glass and such other information as you think we ould be necessary in writing or we cannot pay any attention to it.

We would often be able to quote you larger or smaller stock than contained herein on application.

Location

Our location is 59 miles from New York City on the main line of the N. Y., N. H.& H.R. R. Our soil is heavy, growing strong plants, with splendid roots. Express matter shipped by us will reach as far north as Manchester-by-the-Sea, Lenox, Poughkeepsie, and as far east as Newport, R. I., and East Hampton, L. I., in 24 hours; as far south as Elberon, N. J., within the same time. Freight to these different points require only from two to three days. The roots of all stock are packed in moss, and we have received many compliments for the fresh condition in which it bas arrived at its destination. We make no mistakes in packing.

Soil and Plants

Our Plants are grown on strong soil and have better roots and are not stunted like those grown on sandy soil. The result is that they transplant well and when transplanted even on a light, sandy soil such as is found in parts of Long Island and New Jersey with a proper feeding their growth is uninterrupted. There is no better Nursery Stock anywhere than that we grow in Connecticut.

Prices

Our prices are reasonable. Our stock will always be found worth the price we ask for it. As far as possible we maintain ONE PRICE to all customers. No different price is ever charged except it be for a different grade of stock.

Spring and Fall Planting

We know of no Nursery Stock that cannot be properly planted in the spring. It is not proper to plant in the fall the following: Rhododendrons, Boxwood, Magnolias, Tulip Trees, and Evergreens. An exception may be made with Evergreens where they will transplant with a ball of earth about the roots, or are transplanted not later than September without ball. Many classes of stock. in fact most everything except the above mentioned, may be advantageously planted in the fall. Roses planted in the fall of course require some protection. but when they bloom in June they will be found flowering on a long stem. Roses planted in spring time while they will flower in June of that year they will in- variably be flowers with short stems. Deciduous stock ripens and dreps its foliage in the autumn and becomes dormant; if it is then transplanted it becomes firmly rooted before the foliage begins to force out in the spring, consequently no mortalitv. The best illustration of the fact that it does not injure to die up in the fall has been instances where we have dug up plants of all descriptions by hundreds in the autumn and simply healed them in trenches, just covering the roots and losing none. Fall planting is not usually susceptible to drouth the following season. Fall planting gets the work out of the way. Spring always brings a rush of work.

Deciduous stock planted in the spring begins to leaf before the plant is established, consequently some loss and less growth.

Old fashioned garden flowers such as Peonies, Phlox. [ris, Delphinium. etc.. etc., will to approximate it produce twice the growth the following season when planted in the fall instead of spring.

We cannot too strongly urge the panting of Shade Trees, Shrubs, Vines. Vines, Fruit Trees, Hardy Perrennials, and all deciduous stock in the autumn.

Shipping Seasons

Our fall shipping season runs from October tst to Noventber 2oth. Our spring season from March 25th to June tst.

plants of this character are unsurpassed.

AZALEAS

AZALEA AMOENA. This is a low-growing evergreen plant from China with abundant, small glossy dark green foliage turning to a bronze in winter. The plant, aside from its flower, is very striking and beautiful. It attains a height of 4 to 5 feet, and is of very slow growth, although perfectly hardy without protection. Its blooming season is May, running into June, when it is completely covered with a solid color of light crimson flowers, th eeffect of which is very beautiful. The diameter of the plant is usually as great as the height. It is used in clumps and beds by itself, or as an edging for other plants, or singly. Beds and clumps range all the way from one dozen to 200 plants. It is without doubt the most popula: Hardy Azalea grown. The smallest plants we offer are worth $12 per dozen, and from that they range as high as $15 to $20 each.

AZALEA GHENT. This is a small flowering plant with a habit quite similar to that of Azalea Mollis. This -plant has a wide range of color in the flower from pale yellow to brilliant red, a great many of them being variegated. They are especially showy. ‘The superiority of them over the Azaleas Millis and Amoena, if any, is in the many different shades of the flowers. We furnish assorted varieties with balls and buds at from $12 to $20 per dozen, according to size. Tree Azaleas in bloom in our Nursery

Evergreens (Coniferae)

The Evergreen is one of our specialties. We have taken pains in the selec- tion of the varieties and the growing of the plants. We have sheared specimens and those that have been allowed to grow at will. The plants are all well furnished and in most cases are dug and shipped with balls of earth about the roots, which materially adds to their value as they are much more sure to live. If the subject is new to you we can be relied upon to select you suitable varieties for any clump you may wish. The Evergreen is rapidly gaining in popularity, especially the dwarf varieties for Clump Planting at the entrance to drives of country seats, etc. Below the minimum and maximum sizes of the plants we offer are given together with the minimum and maximum price for single plants. Quantities are sold at a discount, of course. It is impossible to go into a more detailed account of prices and sizes without making a long exhaustive work which would mean a book of itself.

Flowering and Other Shrubs Other Than Evergreen

Hardy flowering shrubs develop more quickly than any other class of plants and are indespensible for filling a new lawn where it is desirable to get something to make a show as quickly as possible. They are much used for borders of estates, where not only the border effect is beautiful, but in addition they act as screens from neighboring estates. The effect is also grand in planting along drives, singly and in clumps. We quote below practically all the best varieties of shrubs cultivated, among which are those of striking red, yellow and variegated foliage. We have from the smallest to the largest sizes to produce immediate effect. We give the minimum and maximum sizes and prices as far as possible.
