PREFACE TO REVISED EDITION. at

Broadway Entrance to the Bloodgood Nurseries, Flushing, N. Y.

PREFACE TO REVISED EDITION

In offering a new edition of our Catalog we tender thanks for past patronage, and to the limit of our de- serying, solicit its continuance.

It is a common practice in writing a preface to laud unduly the particular nursery in question and infer- entially disparage the quality and variety of stock offered by others. We do not pretend to have the largest nursery in America or to offer all the desirable products of the nursery art, but it is certain we will not, with knowledge, offer any useless rubbish.

Other nurseries have good stock and deal honestly with their patrons. In this respect there is no patent of nobility to any.

Granting so much concerning our limitations and others’ abilities we may be pardoned for making some claims for the BLOODGOOD NURSERIES, the oldest continuing nursery in America, hoary not alone with age, but with honor. For the past two years it has been under new management and control and the years in question were the most prosperous in its history. We have, in the period named. moved our office and all our belongings to a new location where with improved facilities and entirely new land we propose to continue the business for our own and our patrons’ mutual advantage.

We do not claim ours is the only good stock offered, or that our prices are the lowest, but it is certain, our location considered, none grow better or offer cheaper trees than ourselves. Being willing to accord merit to others in equal degree we expect to share with them the public patronage.

There is not in all America a locality where there exists a more extended native flora than on Long Island and Flushing, the oldest nursery center in the country, can show in addition a great variety of beautiful intro- duced trees and shrubs. Here may be seen fine specimens, that in their developed state show prospective planters what they may reasonably expect for their toil and effort. The Prince’s and the Parsons’, with the generations animated by their example, have left here the impress of their lives, and stamped indelibly, in verdant monu- ments, worthy examples for generations to come.

In this Catalog we have, to the limit of our ability, endeavored to classify and describe what we have to offer in such a manner that those desiring aid may be assisted in making judicious selections that will satisfy, not the present only, but the future as well. We have not sought the aid of the professional catalog maker but have endeavored to impress upon our work the stamp of our own character, confident that our past history and future performance will warrant public confidence and support.

It is most important when planning a home to do so intelligently. This is particularly true of anything so lasting as landscape adornment. A knowledge of the trees and plants used and their ultimate growth is essential to the best success. We will always, on request, render any assistance in our power. We are not civil engineers, however, and where the place is large and the grades are to be materially changed it is best to secure one. If desired we can provide or recommend competent persons for such service.

It is desirable that prospective purchasers see the stock offered, and to all such and all interested we extend a cordial invitation to visit the nurseries at any season.

To reach us from New York City, take the East 34th St. Ferry to Long Island City, thence by L. I. R. R. to Broadway (Flushing). This is our railroad station for all purposes. We are only ten miles from the City and ten minutes’ walk from the station. In addition to the steam railway we have trolley lines to New York City and Brooklyn and also from Jamaica, from which point we are easily reached by people from the East and South of the Island. Visitors from Jamaica or New York City will get off at Flushing Cemetery, ten minutes’ walk from our office. Five cents fare from either place.

BUSINESS NOTICE

At prices quoted in this catalog, all stock will be supplied f. o. b. here, but we cannot insure safe delivery of same, since it is beyond our control. Complaints for miscarriage and delay must be made to the transporta- tion companies.

We warrant our stock true to name, and hold ourselves prepared, on proper proof, to replace any that may prove otherwise, or refund the original price paid. We, however, expressly disclaim any liability for conse- quential damages.

If errors or omissions occur we desire immediate notice, that we may correct them. The time to make com- plaints is on receipt of goods, not months afterward.

Explicit and plain shipping directions are requested. If omitted we will forward according to our best judg- ment.

We will substitute only by permission, and since it may frequently occur that a grade or variety is ex- hausted, we ask that our patrons in sending orders state if we may substitute, and to what extent.

TRANSPLANTING HINTS. 3

Bills are payable June 1 and December 1 of each year, and to people we know such credit will be cheerfully given. Unknown correspondents must remit with order, or if the same is of considerable amount they may send references, but must understand this course will cause delay for investigation.

C. O. D. orders must be accompanied by a remittance in part as a guarantee,

Our location, between the ocean and Long Island Sound, gives us an equable and long season, and we can dig and ship trees usually from early March through April and May, and in Autumn, October, November and often well into December.

It is important that trees be in a dormant condition, not only where dug but where planted also. Our early and late seasons are therefore advantageous to customers.

Customers intending to make extensive plantings usually submit lists for estimates, and we commend and invite this practice.

We will make the best quotations possible under such circumstances, quality and character of stock offered considered. We urge that quality and price both have consideration. Do not sacrifice the first to the last. Low prices and cheap prices are not identical.

TRANSPLANTING HINTS

We especially desire to impress upon all interested the importance of using only good soil and using it abun- dantly in planting all trees.

li the grade is not changed and there exists good natural fertility, no special preparation is required. If the grade is changed we urge the absolute importance of excavating a large area of subsoil and filling in with good top soil. Do this a year in advance if possible. that the soil may become compact. If this cannot be done, firm well the soil as the new hole is filled. Many fallacies are current concerning planting, and one that you must ex- cayate much larger holes than are needed for the spread of the roots. Make the holes large enough for the free introduction of the roots, but not larger, and be sure always in replacing the soil to tramp it firm. Be careful to put fine mold about the roots, but above all be sure it is in close contact. Broken and mutilated roots should be cut off smooth, that they may callous quickly, and from them new roots will issue.

Wet the roots before putting earth on them, that it may adhere closely. Plant in well-drained soil and at about the same depth as the tree or plant stood in the nursery. <A tree is an organism as well as man and will not thrive with wet feet always.

We do not approve of indiscriminate and extensive pruning at any period of the tree’s life, but if the roots are much shortened some pruning of the top is necessary to maintain a balance.

Cut to the trunk or a bud always, that you may not later have unsightly and dead spurs on the tree that delay the process of healing.

Mulch the surface after planting with anything that will conserve moisture, and for this purpose leave the surface of the soil loose and porous, applying in addition brush, straw or coarse manure. The latter is best. since by leaching it adds the element of fertility.

Planting evergreens is more difficult than planting deciduous trees. particularly if large, and extra care must be taken to keep the roots from becoming dry. Chances of success are much greater with small and medium sized trees, and choice and rare sorts should be moved with a ball of earth attached when possible. The safety of this practice very greatly counterbalances increased cost. and we strongly urge patrons to adopt it. A charge for such additional labor must be made, but we promise that it will be reasonable.

Are not easily trans- planted and should be moved when quite small with balls of earth attached. Since most of them bloom when only a foot or two high, there will not be any long waiting for flowers. Transplant in Spring only and prune closely.

DECIDUOUS SHRUBS

Pruning

The practice of indiscriminate pruning of shrubs in Winter should be discouraged since, by doing so, you will in most sorts cut away the flower bearing wood, and when the season of bloom is come suffer disappointment

in consequence.

The early April. May and June shrubs are of this character, and what pruning they receive should be done

after the period of bloom.

The late Summer and Fall blooming species bear flowers on wood of the same season’s growth, and the more of this you have the greater the amount of bloom. Severe Winter pruning tends, for a time at least, to encour- age strong new growth, though unquestionably it tends, too, to lower vitality and should not therefore be prac-

ticed continually.

Indeed, the object of pruning should be chiefly to accentuate the beauties of natural forms, which are always best. and should as much as possible be sought for. To this end thin judiciously and cut back sparingly, remem-

bering to do this at the seasons and for the reasons stated.

It is better in small places to use small and dwarf

shrubs and allow free development. rather than the large-growing sorts that, to be kept within bounds, must

suffer mutilation and disfigurement.

Figures after specific names indicate approximately the height of shrubs when approaching maturity.

EVERGREENS

It is much to be regretted that the planting of evergreens is so much neglected. They aid materially in giv- ing color to the landscape in Winter; are useful for making windbreaks and hedges, and especially for screen- ing unsightly objects from view; and there is, by judicious selection, a fine opportunity to afford pleasing con- trasts of color and habit. They are more difficult to transplant than deciduous trees; must be carefully han- dled, upon no account permitting the roots to become dry. Use water abundantly and tramp the earth on the

roots firmly.

Figures after specific names indicate approximately the height of the plant when approaching maturity. Prices noted are for trees of the usual size; 1 ft. for very dwarf to 4 ft. for the large growing and standard sorts. Larger and specimen plants at proportionate rates by agreement.

RHODODENDRONS

There has been much money and labor wasted in futile efforts to grow Rhododendrons. These failures are occasioned by a number of reasons. First, the effort to grow sorts that are not hardy in our climate; second, to planting in thin and barren soil, and in exposed situations, where the winds of Winter rapidly evap- orate the moisture in the plant. Make your Rhododendron bed deep and rich, and never on any account more than scratch the surface of the soil after planting. The roots are near the surface and digging among them destroys many and exposes all more or less to the influence of drouth and cold. They are moisture loving plants, and a rich peaty, well drained soil suits them best. Mulch your plants well and use cow manure abun- dantly.

Rhododendrons make a grand show in Winter and Summer alike, with their dark shining evergreen foli- age, but are particularly attractive in early Summer, when their great masses of bloom of various colors and shades attract the attention of all. Where practicable we urge their planting in masses, and a good plan is to have the foreground or border plants of Azaleas.

Plants with buds, $1.00 to $5.00, according to size.

A BEAUTIFUL HEDGE OF CALIFORNIA PRIVET

HEDGE PLANTS

To sereen unsightly objects from view, to mark lines or boundaries, hedges are most useful, and, with

proper attention, very ornamental.

For permanent all-around effect evergreens are best, and the best sorts for the purpose are Hemlock Spruce, American Arborvite in variety, Norway and other Spruces. These can be allowed to grow at will or kept in any desired shape by shearing. The evergreen Ilex crenata, for those with abundant means and a de- sire to possess a good thing not common, is recommended. Evergreen hedges should be sheared in the Spring

before the new growth commences. You can, by so doing, make them any form and keep them any size de-

sired.

Among deciduous shrubs for ornamental hedges no pliant equals the California Privet. It has foliage of unequaled beauty that permits shearing to an extent that would ruin most plants. But in certain situa- tions and for certain uses there are other even better plants, among which we mention Berberis Thunbergii for a low and Althea for a high hedge. where its conspicuous late bloom will be appreciated.

We urge all intending to plant hedges to thoroughly prepare and enrich the soil if of poor quality, and in the meantime to advise us how many and what sort of plants are wanted. We grow large quantities of these standard plants and will make yery reasonable quotations. We here name in detail some most desirable plants

for hedging purposes:

HEDGE PLANTS

For ornamental hedges, the following shrubs are very effective, the Privet particularly being largely planted.

Berberis Thunbergii—An ideal plant for hedges. $5.00 to $20.00 per 100.

Fagus, Ferruginea and Sylvatica—American and Hng- lish Beech. (See Deciduous Trees.)

Hibiscus—Altheas. Fine for its bloom. Trim after flowering. (See Shrubs.)

Ligustrum ovalifolium—Privet. Most highly prized. For best effect plant in double rows one foot apart each way, alternating the plants, and cut almost to the ground. $3.00 to $15.00 per 100.

Lonicera—Upright Honeysuckle. $15.00 per 100.

Rosa Rugosa—Makes an excellent and highly orna- mental hedge. $15.00 per 100.

Spireas—In variety. $15.00 per 100.

Among Evergreens we mention the best and most popular :

Picea excelsa—Norway Spruce. <A good growing ever- green that bears shearing well and makes an excel- lent hedge and windbreak. $15.00 to $50.00 per 100.

Buxus sufiruticosa—Dwarf Box. Excellent for bor- ders and where a low hedge is wanted. Of very slow growth. $4.00 per 100 to $30.00 and $35.00 per 1000.

Thuya—Arboryite. Among the very best evergreen hedge plants are the American and Siberian Arbor- vitees, bearing shearing well and becoming very dense and compact. The dwarf sorts are excellent for low hedges. $10.00 to $35.00 per 100.

Tsuga Canadensis—Hemlock Spruce. Makes the most graceful and elegant hedge of all. $25.00 to $50.00 per 100.

HARDY HERBACEOUS PLANTS. 39

A WELL-DESIGNED HARDY HERBACEOUS BORDER

HARDY HERBACEOUS PLANTS

The great and increasing popularity of this class of plants has induced us to offer a select list. which Wwe made upon the advice of one of the best authorities in America. concerning the most effective and desirable plants for lawns and gardens.

Our list. while not so extensive as many. is the very cream of all. and every sort described may be de- pended on to give entire satisfaction.

The ease of culture. and continuous and lasting bloom of this class of plants endeared them to our ancestors. whose artistic tastes were in most respects quite equal. if not superior. to our own.

Planted in the shrubbery border, or in beds alone, judiciously arranged. they will afford great satisfac- tion at much less cost than can be obtained by plants from the greenhouse that must be replaced annually. In truth, the one supplements the other. and the bright foliage and flowers of bedding plants. with the more en- during herbaceous ones, are both needed for the complete adornment of rural and suburban homes. but the last are the most essential and appeal most strongly to our affections. appearing annually as old friends to greet us in Spring. after their Winter sleep.

Figures after specific names indicate approximate height of the plants when in flower. Plants in assortment, $8.00 to $12.00 per 100.

PAEONIAS

No flower, old or new, is more rapidly or more de- servedly advancing in reputation to-day than the Peony. Its easy culture and its entire freedom from insects and disease would alone recommend it, but when, in addition, you consider its most attractive foli- age, and more especially its immense double flowers in almost all shades of color, and generally their delight- ful perfume, you have a record of valuable points that no other flower can equal. You do not have to coddle them as you do the rose and many other plants, but if placed in good rich soil they will for years reward you annually without further toil or effort.

We have, in recent years, secured the best new varieties offered. which. together with our old stock, makes our collection of over fifty varieties very com- plete in all colors and shades. There are, it is true, a nearly innumerable number of varieties, most of which are so nearly like others as to possess little merit, except to the collector.

Full clumps, named, except where noted, 50c. $4.00 per 10.

Divided, 25c. $2.00 per 10.

ROSES

Under this grouping are arranged the Hybrid Perpetual,

Moss and Climbing Roses. They are not

as constant in bloom as the Teas and other tender sorts, but are of much more robust habit, bearing larger

and finer flowers.

We include, too, a short and select list of Everblooming Roses.

For Roses the ground should be well prepared and enriched, and

treatment.

Old and decayed branches, and a large portion of the preceding year’s growth,

receive good cultivation and _ liberal

35c. $3.00 per 10. $20.00 per 100.

In this class are included hardy roses that in June give a wealth of bloom unrivaled by any other flower.

FRUIT DEPARTMENT

Our location precludes our growing fruit trees in any considerable quantity and we, therefore, greatly abridge our former lists, retaining what we believe are most desirable for limited plantings. We ae not attempt here to give cultural directions, further than to state that all fruit trees delight-in a good well drained soil. We advise enough pruning to admit air and light freely. In small gardens and yards we urge the advisability of using dwarf trees rather than standards, or if the last are used, that the heads be kept low By doing so it will be much easier to treat the trees and to control the insect pests that are so generally dis-

tributed throughout the country.

Intending purchasers who propose planting in large quantity. are requested to correspond with us, nam- ing number and sorts of trees wanted, when special quotations will be given.

First-class, 25c. $2.00 per 10, $10.00 per 100; second-class, 15c. $1.00 per 10, $8.00 per 100.

The Peach tree requires a well drained, moderately rich soil

a warm, sandy loam is best.

In order to preserve the continued healthy growth of the trees and the fine quality of the fruit, the trees should have the shoots and branches shortened every year, so as to preserve a round, vigorous head, with plenty

of young wood.

EXxamine the trees carefully and extract or destroy the borer. Use potash manures liberally.

Pears

First-class, 50c. $4.00 per 10; extra, 75c. $6.00 per 10, except where noted.

Standard Pear trees prefer a strong loam, but succeed well in a great variety of soils, and upon almost any land that will produce good crops of vegetables or grain. The fruit will keep longer and the flavor be greatly improved by picking before they are quite mature, and ripening them in the house. By a judicious se- lection of varieties their season can be extended from July to January.

Dwarf Pears are suited to garden culture, or where space is limited. Can be planted 8 or 10 feet apart, and deep enough to cover the union of the stock and scion, and be trained low by proper shortening of the

terminal branches.

The letters ‘‘D” and “S’ appended to the description of varieties, indicate favorable growth, either as “dwarfs” or “standards,” or both. Those designated as ‘‘moderate growers” are usually smaller trees.
