Planting and Treatment of Hardy Roses.. 1 The Care of Trees and Plants When Re- ceived from the Nursery 1
Fall Planting
^agjs^^ALL Planting is becoming more and more practiced, and while early Spring is an excellent time transplanting, much can be said in favor of planting in the late Summer or Autumn. Trees and Plants of questionable hardiness should not be transplanted in the Fall, and such varieties we have omitted from the following lists, but the greater number of sorts generally offered, if set out in the Fall, unquestionably thrive better than would Spring-planted stock. In the Fsil, up to the last of November, the ground is just moist and warm enough to cause a trans- planted Tree or Plant to at once start a root-growth, and naturally such a Plant will be in a better condition to withstand the drying winds and hot sun of the following Summer than would a plant which has been disturbed in the Spring, and particularly if it was transplanted late in the Spring, when it at once will begin sending out leaves, while in the Fall the roots only will act.
Evergreen Trees and Shrubs can be safely transplanted at any time after August first when they have finished their growth for the Summer, and the danger of drying out before the plant becomes estab- lished is comparatively slight, as rains usually are frequent at that time of the year, and conditions most favorable for an immediate root- growth, causing the plant to become well established before severe cold weather sets in.
Herbaceous Perennials are usually in condition to be moved by September first, and can be safely transplanted at any time up to the last of November.
Deciduous Trees, Shrubs and Vines, including Roses, Hedge Plants and Fruit Trees have finished their growth by the middle to the last of September, after which time they can be transplanted with the greatest degree of safety up to the time of heavy frosts, as it is a well-established fact that newly trans- planted plants make a root-action on all warm days, even during December and after the ground has oc- casionally been frozen to the depth of several inches, and plants even when set out late in the Fall, will still become sufficiently established to take advantage of the earliest growing- weather in the Spring.
How To Plant
After the ground has been prepared by digging to a depth of eight to twelve inches, working in plenty of well-rotted stable manure, and grading carefully, individual holes should be dug for the trees, shrubs or plants. These must be large enough to allow the roots to be spread naturally, and deep enough to set the plant somewhat deeper than before transplanting. Perennials should be about an inch, shrubs two or three inches, and trees three or four inches deeper. Good loam, free from lumps and coarse manure, should be worked in among the roots, and carefully compacted. Individual trees, particularly such as are planted on lawns and avenues, may be benefited by leaving around them a circle of two or three feet kept open by cultivation, until they become well established. Care must be taken, however, that no basin be left to gather water and allow ice to form about the trunk in Winter.
Pruning
Deciduous trees and shrubs should be given a severe cutting-back or pruning when transplanted. More or less roots are always bruised and broken during transplanting, and all such should be trimmed off with pruning-shears or a sharp knife, as the bark cannot heal over a rough wound. In order to insure a strong and healthy growth, as well as to cause the plant to become bushy or attain any desired shaoe, it is well to cut off from each branch one-third to one-half of the previous summer’s growth. Fruit trees re- spond especially to free pruning at the time of transplanting.

Planting and Treatment of Hardy Roses
Planting
Budded or grafted plants should be set so deeply that the junction of the bud or graft is at least three inches below the surface of the soil. In fact, deep planting is one of the most essential things in success- ful Rose culture. After placing the plant in position, the earth should be firmly pressed in around it. The roots should be placed in a natural position, and loam free from hard lumps carefully worked in between them. Care should be taken that plants, while out of the ground, are kept from the wind and sun, and that the roots are never allowed to become dry.
Pruning
When dormant plants are set, they should be pruned immediately. After being set to the proper depth and the ground leveled, they should be cut down to within three or four inches of the ground.
To obtain the best flowers, and in order to keep the plants thrifty and attractive, it is necessary that ever-blooming varieties should be cut back to within a few inches of the ground each Spring. In pruning the Hybrid Perpetuals all weak wood should be removed and the strong canes cut back to within three or four buds above the ground. Moss Roses, and such other varieties which bloom only in the Spring, should be pruned immediately after flowering.
Winter Protection
In late Fall, when the plants are well ripened, some protection should be given, and while loam heaped up around the plants furnishes the best protection, leaves, hay or straw to the depth of from eight inches to one foot may be used for covering. It is best to apply mulches for Winter protection after the ground has fro.^en to the depth of about three inches.
The Care of Trees and Plants When Received from the Nursery
When a shipment of nursery stock is received, the plants should at once be unpacked and the roots made wet and covered with earth to keep from drying out, and care should be taken that the roots of plants are not unnecessarily exposed to the sun and wind.
Young trees or plants when shipped from the nursery are in a condition to be safely transplanted, and wiU grow if properly handled. So many planters, however, are unfamiliar with the proper handhng of plants, and so many plants fail to give satisfaction, simply because of improper handling, that the above- named directions may be of value.
We aim to supply only thrifty trees and plants, but cannot be responsible for losses resulting from causes beyond our control, and we ask to be notified instantly of any errors that may be committed in filling of orders, that we may at once make ample amends, as we desire to conduct our business in aU re- spects satisfactority to those who favor us with their patronage.
In presenting this Catalogue, we wish to express our sincere thanks to our many customers and friend s who so liberally have favored us, and in the future, as in the past, we will endeavor to govern ourselves in a manner to retain their confidence.

Non- Warranty
\Miile it must be obvious that it is to our best interest to send out stock which not only will grow but prove true to name and description, and although we use every care and precaution pos- sible, we give no warranty, express or implied, of any trees, shrubs, plants, or bulbs we sell, and we will not be in any way responsible as to the description, quality, productiveness, crop or other- wise. If the purchaser does not accept the goods under these conditions, they must be at once returned.
Forwarding
It is requested that explicit directions for marking and shipping packages accompany each order. WTien it is left to us to choose the mode of conveyance we will exercise our best judg- ment. We pack in such a manner that ornamental trees, shrubs, evergreens and hardy border plants can go safely by freight. In aU cases the articles are at the risk of the purchaser after being shipped. If delay or loss occurs, the forwarder alone must be held responsible.

Evergreens
Evergreen Trees for Fall Planting
We ship no Evergreens which have not been transplanted several times. An Evergreen which has not been transplanted is often a finer specimen than transplanted stock, but it is of little value to the buyer. The larger, sizes are shipped with compact balls of roots wrapped in burlap. This method of handling insures the plants against loss.
Abbreviations, denoting size at maturity: “ L,” large; “ M,” medium; “ S,” small; “ D,” dwarf;
“ VD,” very dwarf. Rapidity of growth: “ r,” rapid; “ m,” medium; “ s,” slow.
We can supply extra large specimens of a great many varieties, and are always pleased to give special quotations on such.

New England Quality Bulbs
The follo^^-ing listed Winter and Spring-flowering Bulbs we supph* in specially selected grades only. Bulbs of inferior grades are unsatisfactorj* at any price.
Unless otherwise stated, all bulbs are ready for delivery- in September.
Hyacinths
One of our most popular bulbs for effective beds outdoors or growing in the house in pots. Their very decorative, long-keeping, brilliant colors and delightful fragrance recommend them.
Garden Culture. Bulbs may be planted from September to December in any good, well-drained garden soil, which has previously been well enriched and dug from 12 to IS inches. Bulbs should be set 6 inf'hes apart and 6 inches deep. Before the ground freezes, cover the beds with material, such as leaves, straw, pine branches, etc., to a depth of 4 inches. Do not uncover too early in Spring.
Culture in Pots. It is always best to select solid, hea^-y bulbs and plant as early as possible. Care should be taken to fill the pots ^^-ith a light, well-enriched potting soil, and have the top of bulb just below the surface. Use a -5-inch pot for single bulb or four in a 6-inch pot. Give a good watering and set away in a cool place, covering them with about three to five inches of coal ashes or sand. Let them remain there for eight to ten weeks, bringing them to the light as wanted.
Culture in Glasses. We recommend the single varieties for this purpose and always the best named varieties. Place the bulb so that the base is just in contact with the water. A little charcoal is good to put in to keep the water pure. Keep in a dark, cool place until the roots are about 6 inches long; then bring into the light and warmth to bloom. Change the water every few days.
SPECIAL NAMED BEDDING AND FORCING HYACINTHS
These are large, soHd bulbs, producing large spikes of flowers, and all blooming at the same time, which makes them of great A alue for bedding out, as one can obtain the exact color effect desired. They are also desirable for forcing in pots or pans.
$1.00 per doz., $6.50 per 100, $60.00 per 1000.
Special Bright Red Special Crimson Special Dark Blue

Tulips
No flower excels the Tulip in beauty of form, brilliancy of color, effective bedding and gorgeous show. They are equally as desirable for bedding as for pot culture indoors. To produce effect, a few bulbs scattered here and there are of but little value. They should be planted in masses or small groups and, so disposed, when become grand and brilliant, surpassing almost anv other flower in variety of coloring and picturesque
effect.

NAMED DOUBLE TULIPS
These are useful for bedding and forcing; the large, Paeony-Kke blossoms are highly ornamental, coming into bloom about a week or more after the single early sorts, and lasting considerably longer in flower. They make the best display, and the effect is better when planted one variety in a bed or clump. The letter after the name indicates the time of blooming; those marked A bloom together, followed in about a week by B, and C, the latest.

These beautiful May- flowering varieties are becoming more popular each season, being entirely distinct from the early-flowering sorts, in their taller growth and later season of blooming. The large, beautifully formed flowers of magnificent colors, with delicate markings and featherings, are at their best in this locality about Memorial Day, and last well into June in ordinary seasons. They are excellent for beds, borders and naturalizing. D02. 100 1000

DARWIN TULIPS, SINGLE LATE- FLOWERING
A distinct race of Single Late Tulips, with immense flowers, of well-rounded form, on tall, thick stems from 2 to 3 feet in height. This, with their very bril- liant colors, ranging from almost pure white through all the shades of pink and purple to the most intense red, make them unsurpassed for planting out or for cutting. A bed of these tall Darwins, with an undergrowth of Myosotis, Daisies, etc., is a most beautiful sight; planted among the shrubbery, they give life and color to the garden. The varieties we offer are selected from a very large collection as the best and most distinct, containing none but the large-flowering sorts, in colors sure to give satisfaction. lOO

Narcissi, or Daffodils
Among the most beautiful and fragrant of our hardy Spring-flowering bulbs the Narcissi enjoy great popular- ity and occupy a very prominent place in the world of flowers, doing well in almost all soils and situations, for naturalizing among the grass, planting among the shrubbery, on the borders of ponds and streams, and in formal beds. For house or greenhouse culture they are equally desirable, planted in pots or bulb pans, several bulbs of one variety in each, and treated as recommended for Hyacinths.

Peaches
The Peach tree requires a well-drained, moderately rich soil. Warm, sandy loam is probably the best. When the trees are first planted, all^ side branches should be cut back to within 34 to in. of the main trunk, and the latter reduced one-third. The land immediately near the trees should be constantly cultivated. The following varieties have been se- lected out of hundreds, the best only being chosen. They furnish a succession for about two months, commencing the early part of August.
First class, 5 to 6 feet: Each 30c., doz. $2.50, 100 $15.00.
