Preface to Revised Edition
ONFRONTED with the need of a new catalogue, we had to consider the problem of preparing the copy ourselves or giving the contract to a compiler and editor whose special business it is to make catalogues in design and contents as attractive as possible. To do so, they not infrequently go a little beyond the bounds of truth, and
inject into the descriptions and the literature an element of exaggeration
that pleases many, but is repellant to many also.
We do not believe that successful business depends solely upon pictures and extravagant laudation of ours as the only place where good trees can be obtained, but rather in supplying good trees at reasonable prices, allowing them to proclaim our virtues. We do not promise all things, but will keep all promises.
It is our aim and purpose to retain old customers by fair and liberal treatment. The field is a wide one and there is room for many honest enterprises in the nursery business, and most nursery enterprises are honestly conducted. We challenge a comparison and trial with any. “By their fruits ye shall know them.” We ask fora portion of the public patronage, confident that we can retain it by our deserving.
Our Nurseries are located in the beautiful Orange Valley in which may be seen many places of small and large area that have been improved with trees and plants purchased from us in the years that are passed.
To meet the increased and increasing demand for fine Nursery stock, we have added more than one hundred acres to our real estate holdings, nearly all of which together with our original tract of one hundred and fifty acres is used for growing trees that will satisfy the most critical.
Tested trees and plants are added to our collection as their merit proves them worthy. Our trees are cultivated and cared for, and defective and deformed trees are taken from the rows and destroyed. We allow no accumulation of old and unsalable trees.
It is a good practice for intending purchasers to see and select the stock wanted, and we extend a cordial invitation to all interested to visit our Nurseries, which are only sixteen miles from New York City on the Lackawanna Railroad, near Milburn Station. We can be reached from Elizabeth or Newark by trolley lines which pass our office. We are only six miles from these cities.

BUSINESS NOTICE
At prices quoted in this catalogue, all stock will be supplied f. 0. b. here, but we cannot insure the safe delivery of same, since it is beyond our control. Complaints for miscarriage and delay must be made to the transportation 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 consequential damages.
If errors or omissions occur we desire immediate notice, that we may correct them. The time to make complaints is on receipt of goods, not months afterward.
Explicit and plain shipping directions are requested. If omitted we will forward accord- ing to our best judgment.
We will substitute only by permission, and since it may frequently occur that a grade or variety is exhausted, we ask that our patrons in sending orders state if we may substitute, and to what extent.
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 near tide water affords 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, Novem- ber, 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 charac- ter 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.
LANDSCAPE WORK
To those who have time and do not wish to employ experienced help, the following sug- gestions will be helpful.
Endeavor from the beginning to picture in your mind the appearance of the work when completed, and also what the result will be in after years when the trees and plants have attained their growth.
The first step will be to locate your drives and walks, these should be conveniently placed and as few and short as possible; a slight curve, however, is more graceful and pleasing to the eye than a straight line. In grading be sure and have at least a foot of good soil on top. Try to avoid steep terraces; slopes of easy, natural curves will keep in order much longer, seldom require repair and are easier to mow and take care of. If a steep bank is indispensable, it may be planted in masses with shrubbery and plants suited to the location.
In placing the trees and shrubs preserve the desirable views, screening the objectionable. Trees with bold outlines planted at a distance will give character, while groups of the smaller growing and more select varieties should lend charm to the foreground. Procure such as are best adapted to the location and are easily taken care of and that will produce a variety of flower and foliage to make your grounds attractive throughout the year.
In arranging the plantings leave as large an open stretch of lawn as possible, and on the outskirts of the grounds plant in masses and beds with large bays and projections, to which later, if desired, new acquisitions may be added. Consider the size of the plants at maturity that the largest may be placed at the rear and not hide those of smaller growth. Give each full room for development. If immediate effect is desired the planting can be thickly made by placing first what is to remain permanently, allowing ample room for their develop- ment, then fill in about these with plants which later are to be removed.
We shall be glad to confer with those interested in landscape development.

TRANSPLANTING HINTS
We especially desire to impress upon all interested the importance of using only good soil and using it abundantly in planting all trees.
If the grade is not changed and there exists good natural fertility, no special prepara- tion 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 possi- ble, that the soil may become compact. If this cannot be done, firm well the soil as the new hole is filled. 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 callus 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.
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. Beech, Oak, Sweet Gum, Mulberry and Tulip trees ought to be shortened in very severely.
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 counterbal- ances increased cost, and we strongly urge patrons to adopt it. A charge for such addi- tional labor must be made, but we promise that it will be reasonable.

DECIDUOUS SHRUBS
The proper use of shrubbery in connection with the adornment of the home grounds is becoming more and more a matter of intelligent study by all lovers of growing things,
The tendency of the people toward living away from the centers of business is steadily on the increase, and the greater development in the upbuilding of our cities lies in the direction of opening new suburbs, so is there an increase in the demand for those things which beautify the exterior of the home. Nothing will do this more effectively than shrubbery, if intelligently selected and carefully planted. “The chief value of shrub- bery,” says a prominent writer, “comes from its use in an artistic way. In temperate latitudes, from early Spring until November leaves and flowers are to be found upon de- ciduous shrubs; from June until the following Spring, ornamental fruits can be seen on their branches. Throughout the season the foliage of a well-planted shrubbery will present the greatest variety of color, including white, red, yellow, and many shades of green.”
The proper planting of shrubbery adds not only to the beauty of a home, but remark- ably increases its value. In order to assist our patrons to a judicious choice in the mat- ter, we have prepared the following list which describes the habit, height and blooming season of the different varieties. Those who desire larger plants than are ordinarily sup- plied, or shrubs in larger quantities for extensive plantings, are invited to send for estimates.
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 encourage strong new growth, though unquestionably it tends, too, to lower vitality and should not, therefore, be practiced 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, remembering 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 de- velopment, 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 the shrubs when approaching maturity.

EVERGREEN
It is much to be regretted that the planting of evergreens is so much neglected. They aid materially in giving color to the landscape in Winter; are useful for making windbreaks and hedges, and especially for screening unsightly objects from view; and there is, by judi- cious selection, a fine opportunity to afford pleasing contrasts of color and habit. They are more difficult to transplant than deciduous trees; must be carefully handled, upon no account permitting the roots to become dry. Use water abundantly and tramp the earth on the roots firm.
Figures after specific names indicate approximately the height of the plant when approach- ing maturity.
Prices noted are for trees of the usual size; 1 ft. for very dwarf to 4 ft. for the large growing 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 situa- tions, where the winds of Winter rapidly evaporate 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 abundantly.
Rhododendrons make a grand show in Winter and Summer alike, with their dark, shin- ing evergreen foliage, 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. The seed pods should be removed after flowering.
In arranging the larger native Rhododendrons (R. maximum) as a background, these hardy named varieties produce a beautiful and striking effect planted in front toward the grass border.
Great care has been exercised in including only such varieties as may be relied upon as entirely hardy in the Central and Northern States. And in the severe climate of New England these tested varieties of “ironclad” hardiness succeed with ordinary treatment.
Plants, $1 to $5, according to size; special prices per 100 and per 1000.

HEDGE PLANTS 45
Hemlock Hedge in Winter. See page 46.
HEDGE PLANTS
To screen unsightly objects from view, to mark lines or boundaries, hedges are most iseful, 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 kept in any desired shape by shearing. The evergreen, [lex crenata, for those with abun- dant means and a desire 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 desired.
Among deciduous shrubs for ornamental hedges no plant equals the California Privet. It has foliage of unequaled beauty that permits shearing to an extent that would ruin most plants. But in certain situations 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 very reasonable quotations. We here name in detail some most desirable plants for hedging purposes:

HARDY HERBACEOUS PLANTS
The great and increasing popularity of this class of plants has induced us to offer a select list, which we made upon the advice 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 depended 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 satisfaction 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 enduring 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.
A SUITABLE SELECTION will give a constant succession of bloom, from early Summer until late Autumn, and increase in size and beauty from year to year.
Figures after specific names indicate approximate height of the plants when in flower.

No flower, old or new, is more rapidly or more deservedly advancing in reputation to-day than the Paeony. Its easy culture and its entire free- dom from insects and disease would alone recom- mend it, but when, in addition, you consider its most attractive foliage, and more especially its immense double flowers in almost all shades of color, and generally their delightful 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 varie- ties very complete in all colors. 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.

ROSES CULTURAL DIRECTIONS
The rose delights in an open, airy situation. All types are very partial to clay loam, but will do well in any ordinary soil if enriched with well rotted barnyard manure. Dig the soil thoroughly to the depth of 12 to 15 inches, as the roots penetrate deep when they can. Do not raise the surface of rose beds. They suffer less from drought when left level with the turf. After the plants have been set out, keep the soil loose to the depth of an inch or two by frequent stirrings. An occasional soaking with weak manure water is a great help to roses of all sorts.
Pruning. This operation is best performed during March. Most roses do better if moderately pruned, some sorts require two-thirds of the past year’s growth removed; for others, to remove one-half or one-third is sufficient. All must be more or less pruned when planted; do not neglect this.
Protection. All roses are better for a light covering in Winter. This may be done by hilling up with earth; or better, by strewing leaves or straw lightly over the plants and securing them with evergreen branches.
Insects. If proper attention is paid to soil, planting, watering, etc., and a few simple directions heeded, you will not be greatly troubled. The aphis is among the most annoy- ing foes, and particularily infests plants in houses; healthy plants in the garden are but little liable to its attack. For outdoors syringe with tobacco water solution; indoors, use tobacco smoke.
As soon as the leaves are developed the rose caterpillar appears and must be looked for and destroyed daily by pinching in his shelter of leaves glued together.
The rose chafer, when it appears, must be hand-picked too. An occasional syringing is beneficial and an application of white hellebore will destroy most eating insects. High culture and consequent vigorous growth is most important to secure, and to maintain health and have abundant bloom. For mildew an application of flour of sulphur when the foliage is damp will generally arrest the disease.

ROSES 55
HYBRID REMONTANT, or PERPETUAL ROSES
These are the June roses, so admirably suited for garden culture, the formation of beds, hedges and permanent plantations, where hardy varieties are desired. In May and June these hardy roses are brilliant with large, perfumed flowers of richest colors, far excelling the everblooming class in size and vivid effect. Many of those offered give occasional flow- ers through the Summer, and again in Autumn.
THE HARDIEST EVERBLOOMING ROSES
Including Tea, China and Bourbon V arieties
These are the only roses that really bloom constantly. They begin to bloom early in the season, or almost as soon as planted, and continue all through the Summer and Autumn months, until stopped by freezing weather, flourishing luxuriantly from Canada to Mexico. The flowers are of beautiful form and fullness, delightful fragrance, and embrace all shades and colors. These everblooming roses are not, however, hardy in this locality and will not survive exposure in Winter.
Roses in Pots. For house culture the C. T., T. P., H. T., T. and B. B. roses should be selected. These will give a succession of bloom if treated in the following manner: Drain the pots well with broken bits of crock; mix one part of well-rotted cow manure with two parts of light, friable soil, and press firmly about the roots in potting. Keep well watered during the Summer; more scantily in Fall and Winter. Pinch off all flower buds until Winter, and then give all the sunlight pos- sible. Keep your plants clean and growing. About sixty degrees is the best temperature for window or general indoor culture.

The usual strength for Summer spraying is 14 pound per barrel (about 45 gallons). Lime should always be added to a Paris green mixture to avoid burning the foliage. Peaches and Japan plums are most liable to injury. Stir mixture frequently when spraying.
WHITE HELLEBORE AND PYRETHRUM.
Preferably in water, I ounce to 3 gallons; or dry, mix with 4% part of flour to make it adhesive. Hellebore and pyrethrum are used chiefly on ripening fruit, as they lose their pois- enous properties when exposed to the air for a few hours.
ARSENITE OF LIME.
This insecticide grows more popular yearly and is safe and efficient when prepared and used as directed. Will make 800 gallons of spraying mixture.
