EXPERIENCED planters practically all agree that Early Autumn is the best season of the year for planting Ever- greens, Hardy Herbaceous plants, Straw- berries (pots) , etc., also all kinds of Hardy Shrubs and Trees, Roses, Berry Plants, etc. There are but few exceptions to this rule. Planting at this season provides ample time for the roots to re-establish themselves while the ground is still warm. Early Autumn planted stock starts out with a vig- or which spring planted stock seldom atttains. Let us send you our Catalog, or better visit our Nursery and select your stock personally and in ample time to take advantage of the Early Autumn planting season.

Our stock of Evergreens is not only ex- tensive, but contains rare varieties and beautiful specimens, many of large sizes for immediate effects. We recommend trans- planting Evergreens with balls of earth in most instances. If planted with reasonable care, practically no loss will occur if our stock is used, as it is frequently root pruned in the nursery and otherwise kept in perfect condition for transplanting.

Prices of Evergreens . We know that our prices compare favorably with other’s prices for stock equally as good. You can purchase of us the small sizes and easily grown varieties for a few cents each and up, while some of our old and rare specimens are worth much more. In other words, we are prepared to supply the cheap popular kinds of Evergreens for window boxes, hedges and group plantings, also the rare ones. A visit to our Nursery is advised where practical, otherwise we can make careful selections for you. Our Catalog gives sizes and prices.

We grow in immense quantities all the desirable varieties of Shade and Ornament- al Trees, Shrubs, Vines, Roses, etc., for street and park planting, and the creating of permanent Landscape effects, also Fruit Trees, Berry Plants, etc. The same care is given this stock that makes our Evergreens so favorably known.

Hardy Herbaceous Plants

The experienced garden lover soon learns to depend largely on the Hardy garden flowers. They not only have their own per- sonal charm, but continue, many of them for years without replacing, furnishing ever welcome flowers from the very earliest Snowdrops, continuously throughout the season, ending with the Chrysanthemums when the snow often hangs heavy on their branches. The Paeonia, Phlox, Larkspur, Campanula, Hollyhock, Columbine, Lily, etc., belongs to this class. Our assortment is complete, and the stock we offer is strong field-grown or in pots from out-of-doors frames, so that immediate results can be expected. Early Autumn planted plants of this class bloom with a luxuriant profusion the following season, superior in every way to spring plantings. Our Catalog lists a splendid assortment and at popular prices.

Roses

The permanent hardy garden kinds. Strong field grown hardy Roses planted in the Early Autumn not only live, but will bloom with fully twice the freedom the fol- lowing spring as compared with spring planted roses. Prepare the Rose garden right away, and get the Roses planted early. Consult our catalog for varieties and popu- lar prices.

Strawberries (Pot Grown )

To be assured of a full crop of Strawber- ries the following season is enough to war- rant planting potted plants at this season. The plants are but $3.50 per 100, $30.00 per 1,000, in ten of the leading kinds. Inquire for list. Also Americus ( everbearing ) at 75 cents per 10; $8.00 per 100.

The practical and artistic character of our Landscape work and the service we render through this department is being more appreciated each succeeding season.

We will gladly take up this more in detail with anyone interested by special appointment or correspondence.
