HOW ORDERS ARE SHIPPED. We ship all large trees and other bulky or- ders, which are to go outside the city, by freight, unless otherwise requested.
Medium sized orders can be shipped by express to advantage; this is espe-.
cially advisable where immediate arrival is desired. All orders are delivered free to local freight, express companies and in the city.. We are not liable for delays by forwarding parties. If stock is not promptly received notify us and we will trace.
PACKING. We make no charge for packing excepting when stock is purchased at hundred-rate prices or in case of large bulky stock, or where we ship with carefully preserved balls of earth, etc., which necessitates devoting more time and packing material than is usual. In such instances a chates covering cost is made.
HOW TO REACH US. Our nursery and office are located at EDGEWOOD, Edgewood Avenue, just beyond Edgewood Park. The Edgewood Avenue cars direct to the nursery from the, Railroad Station, and by transfer from transfer points. Parties autoing, driving or wheeling to the nursery will find West Chapel Street the best route, turning to the right at either So or Alden Avenue.
EARLY ORDERS. To one familiar with the rush at the packing season, it must be obvious that it is impossible to fill an order requiring much time in its prep- aration on short notice without doing an injustice to others who have their orders previously booked. In fairness to all, we have adopted. ‘the practice of filling orders in the rotation received, unless orders are received far enough ahead of the packing season, with instructions to ship at a given date, so that we can atfrange a special shipping date. So we again say—place your ‘order as far in advance of shipping as you posts can, stating when you would like stock sent.

Gardening Department.
We maintain a force of competent gardeners who can execute gardening work in a thorough and practical manner. Pruning and otherwise caring for established trees, vines, etc., is a special feature of our work, and one that an owner can afford to put into experienced hands only. Many trees whose worth cannot be counted in dollars, which are perishing from neglect, can be restored to health and given a new lease of life if given proper treatment.
We can refer to many satisfied clients who have approved our planting plans, procured their stock from us and employed us to carry out the work. Genuine economy is many times gained by having all the work incidental to the carrying out of a landscape problem under one contract.
Gardens have a perennial charm where a wealth of choice flowers, fascinating in
form, color and fragrance are combined with appropriate garden accessories. ¥ ; ;

Roots of Plants.
We seldom hear much said about the root system of a tree or plant; in fact, if the top of the plant looks shape- ly, little is thought of it oth- erwise by the usual buyer; but the fact is, its root sys- tem is an all important fea- ture in its economy. If a plant is to be transplanted successfully it is of great im- portance that its roots have been suitably trained, and this applies especially to the larger trees and all ever- greens. Appreciating this, we regularly root prune our trees, with the result that the stock we send out is in the best of condition, both | | under and above ground, for Pin Oak. A native tree of great beauty. The for- | successful transplanting.
mal plants in tubs to the left are Bay Trees and the | hedge, Japanese Barberries.

The above illustration shows a handsome White Pine (Pinus Strobus) about 12 feet high, with ball of earth carefully secured with burlaps, just dug from a nearby block of fine specimens. We have a splendid lot of specimen evergreens, which have been so frequently transplanted that large balls of earth can be taken up with each tree. Immediate effects can be gained by using these specimen trees.
Choice and Rare Evergreens.
Evergreens are a specialty with us and our col- lection includes many rare and beautiful specimens as well as a large stock of the more common sorts. We are fortunate in’ having soil conditions very favorable for their development, both of top and root. We transplant and root prune all our ever- greens frequently, which practically insures their successful transplanting, even of the larger speci- mens.
How to Ship Evergreens.
We recommend hauling by teams when delivery is within economical distance. Small orders to dis- tant points can be boxed for shipping by freight or express, but where a number of specimen trees are to be sent, we advise shipping in bulk in car lots; this saves the cost of boxing and in- sures their arrival without injury. We gladly ad- vise, if requested, the shipping method we recom- mend for individual shipments.
Prices of Evergreens.
See following pages for prices of the usual sizes. The prices of specimens will vary with each plant,

; Broad Lato Evergreen Shrubs.
Rhododendrons produce most charming effects when planted in liberal masses.
HE great beauty of the broad leaved evergreens makes them most valuable for gardening purposes. Many are among our most spectacular and gorgeous flowering shrubs,
while their broad, attractive leaves show out most effectively
during the portions of the year when many trees and plants are without foliage.
There is practically no end of the charming results that can be gained by the liberal use of this class of plants. Groupings generally give most attractive effects and the plants themselves do much better when planted this way.
Good, fertile loam should always be used in preparing for Rhododendron Everstianum. this class of plants. Sufficient water should be supplied at least
until they become well established so that they. will not suf- fer from dryness. This does not necessarily mean frequent watering.

Rose-Bay (Rhododendron Maximum.)
This native broad-leaf strictly hardy evergreen affords splendid opportunity for no end of charming effects. In large public parks and private estates they can be used by thousands, and even within the more restricted area of the usual city lot many chances for their liberal use are sure to arise. This beautiful Rhododendron is not only perfectly hardy but thrives luxuriantly even in the shady corner and under trees, and in June is a mass of lovely soft pink flowers sim- ilar in color to our well-known mountain laurel. It will develop into a nice individual specimen, but is most happy and effective when planted in generous masses. The illustration on this page shows a very effective planting made by us three years ago for Mr. John Edward Heaton, of New Haven, Conn., requiring three carloads, and with practically no loss. Our stock is «ol- lected high up on the table lands of the Allegheny Mountains in Pennsylvania, where it is so very cold and exposed to such severe weather conditions that even the native trees are dwarfed in growth. Certainly Rhododendrons that can thrive under such conditiors will thrive almost
anywhere. SHIPPED FROM NURSERY. Selected specimens, 5 to 7 feet ...........-.-.. $5.00 to $25.00, according to individual merit. mae each: Per10. Per 100. Each. Perl10.

_Charming grounds brimming with the wealth of good things that fill the eye with delight are the kind of gardens quite worth striving for. Equally beautiful gardens to the one here illustrated can be produced within a year’s time at a cost that can be very mod- erate. Such accessories as pergolas, fountains, garden seats, etc., can be so constructed that the cost 1s very small or if taste and pocketbook so decide the styles of these, garden features can be made very claborate.

Clematis Paniculata or Sweet Japan Clematis. No vine is to-day more | popular than this, and justly so. Its usefulness is not confined to the porch or arbor. It is most effectively trained on fences, walls, etc. It 1s of value to know that cattle will not browse on its foliage. If you wonder why, taste of the leaf some time.

Hardy Herbaceous Plants
For Autumn Planting.
: esd LANTS whose roots are hardy and remain alive from year to year and whose tops die annually to the ground are classified under this heading. It includes such splendid garden plants at Pzonies, Iris, Larkspurs, ete. The | great ease with which these plants can be grown and their great variety of color and form and season of bloom makes them indispensable for the garden. Of late years, there has been a steadily increasing demand for this class of plants as well as a great improvement in the varieties, so that they now make an important feature in the business of many nurserymen. We are making them a specialty at the nursery, growing them in large quantities out in the open fields under the most favorable conditions. The classifica- tion is the one adopted by Prof. L. H. Bailey in the Cyclo- pedia of American Horticulture.
Description of height at flowering season and time of blossoming, general color of bloom, and very brief descrip- tions only are attempted in this abridged list.
In arranging this list, we have used the popular or common names as tar as seemed consistent.

Yellow Garden Lilies
(Hemerocallis. )
These beautiful and fragrant golden lilies are of easiest culture, succeeding in almost any garden soil. They are remarkably free from the enemies that so unfortunately beset so many of our garden favorites. By a selection from the following list, these beautiful lilies can be had in flower from May to August. The leaf growth starts very early in the spring, adding a pleasing light green to the border where they are used. This growth quickly shoots up into a graceful clump of flowing rich green foliage, which lends its attraction to the garden border. Springing from this growth graceful flower spikes appear, liberally sup- plied with flowers and buds for several weeks. The color is from soft lemon to richest apricot yellow and deep orange, varying with the variety. Fragrance delight- ful. No other one class of strictly hardy garden lilies can be depended on to do more towards delightful permanent garden effects. Plant these lilies in the early fall and an abundance of flowers will follow the following blooming season.

ROSES--Choice Hardy Garden.
R OSES FOR GARDENS are a specialty at the nursery, our sales amounting to many thous- ands annually. The plants are strong, field-grown bushes, large enough to make a sturdy growth and produce a profusion of bloom right away. This grade of plants is very popular with our customers.
Our roses should not be confounded with the department store articles often offered. Our roses are all selected strong field-grown dormant plants dug fresh from the open ground and securely packed for each order.
The love of roses is universal and fortunate it 1s that the most beautiful ones live out of doors and thrive in ordinary gardens. Be liberal with the fertilizer in preparing your rose gar- dens; they will return many fold in the way of luxuriance and profusion of blooms.
Garden Hybrid Roses.
Strictly Hardy.
This class of roses blooms pro- fusely in June and at intervals throughout the Summer and Fall. The popular hardy garden roses mostly belong to this class and are always satisfactory.
Do not allow roses to suffer from want of plenty of fertilizer, as they are gross feeders, and only when they have plenty to feed on can they be expected to produce best results.
Anne De Diesbach. (Syn. Glory of France). Carmine, a_ beautiful shade; very large. A _ superior garden sort; fragrant.
Baby Rambler. The rose hybrid- ists certainly made a remarkable happy combination when they suc- ceeded in creating this wonderful new rose. Imagine a bushy rose just right for the flower garden or a pot plant as to size with all the beauty of color and great clusters of the crimson rambler

Charming arbor effects can be gained by using the Rambler Roses; the Dorothy Perkins and Lady Gay in soft clear pinks lend themselves most happily to this
Use.
Rambler Roses are also most happy when
trained on fences and about
the house walls; in fact, they are adaptable to so many uses which add attrac-
tively to the grounds that they really are of first importance in picturesque gar-
den making.

RUIT growing on a commercial scale is one of the country’s profitable industries. No part
F of our great country offers a better opportunity to grow high flavored and beautiful ap-
pearing fruits than New England. In the same way the home acre, yes, even the small
city garden can be made to return crops of fruits well worth all the labor they required. There
is also the genuine pleasure and delight many of us get and more would if they only knew
what they are missing, in watching trees grow. One’s interest is kept at the top notch from
the blossoming time, when fruit trees are bowers of floral grace and beauty, until the ripening
colors appear and in the full maturity we have the actual luscious fruits of our watchfulness and
care, not only beautiful, but sure to delight the palate and contribute to the true economy of the household. 2
Dwarf Fruit Trees.
These interesting dwarf trees have commercial possibilities, but it is to the amateur and home gardener that they appeal especially. Practically every garden offers oppor- tunities for their successful culture. Where too limited areas are available to make or- dinary. fruit trees practicable these dwarf forms are most acceptable. They can be planted along the garden fence or walls, on either side of the garden paths and can be made to add an additional feature to many a flower garden border. Training them flat or to special forms is popular with many; others prefer to keep them in natural shaped trees, only in miniature. Dwarf trees fruit freely, often after the second year, hearing abundantly fruits of the largest size and finest quality. (See illustration).
Dwarr Fruit Trees, by F. A. Waugh, is a valuable book on this subject which we fecommend. Price 50 cents. With order for dwarf fruit trees amounting to $10.00 we will be pleased to include a copy cf this book without extra charge.

Pulverized Sheep Manure.
OTH first cost, economy and ease of applying are too important factors to B disregard in the handling of fertilizers. In Pulverized Sheep Manure we : have nature's own way and in a most convenient form for handling. It is just as it comes from the stockyard pens, only it is thoroughly dried and put through pulverizirg machines. If you have never used Pulverized Sheep Manure, ‘you will be agreeably astonished with the results.
Apply on the lawms in the autumn and a deep green growth will quickly follow, which will remain throughout the season under favorable conditions. For applying at time of seeding down new lawns, nothing will give better results. For lawns apply on the surface broadcast 100 pounds to the 1,000 square feet; for the garden, two or three times this amount, depending upon the soil. Two or three tons to acre.
Prices of Pulverized Sheep Manure.
