PERSONAL r-SERVICE—i
Your needs are too individual, your tastes too personal, and your local gardening conditions too vari- able to make any catalogue cover your requirements and those of everybody else.
This handbook of ours aims to give you a complete list of hardy, desirable plants, with a few neces- sary facts, after which we expect to discuss with you your individual problems.
Tell us your problems; question us freely. You cannot tire us. Sixty years* accumulated experience are at your command. Every man on the Meehan staff, in office and nursery, has made plants his life work solely , and our recommenda- tions to you come with authority.
Professional questions on Land- scape Gardening are dealt with in a separate department at the head of which is Mr. J. Franklin Meehan.
If you have a new and unplanted property, give us a brief description and size, and ask about our New Property Proposition.
Write now, and ask us what you want to know.

This Is a Most Unusual Book
nm iiiiiiiiiiiiiiHimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiniiiii
Always striving to build up our catalogue from the buyers’ point of view, we incor- porate unusual things for your convenience.
The first catalogue to list actual sizes and price them individually was Meehans’. That this was a sensible and sane thing to do is evidenced by the fact that almost every nurseryman followed. Another im- portant move in recent years was to name wholesale prices for buyers in quantity, but not till now did we find what we believe will prove the most convenient form. This is a practical book, handy and always useful.
The statement of diameter of trunk in a tree means more to the purchaser than height in trees that have reached a certain stage. We avoid cataloguing height wher- ever possible. Under competition of prices carry this fact, and learn that as diameter is one of the determining factors in valua- tion, our stock is invariably reasonably priced.
All prices are f. o. b. Germantown. Extra large containers, when required, are charged for but may be returned for credit. Express rates are now very low. Parcel Post can frequently be used to advantage. Prices are net, without favor. Exceptions are made of long lists, on which estimates will be furnished on application.
If you do not know our establishment well, ask for booklet “A Visit to the Meehan Nurseries,” mailed free. Another booklet for distribution free to our patrons is “Gar- den Work” — how to plant and care for hardy plants.
About April first we shall issue a summer catalogue of potted hardy plants for late spring planting, tubbed boxwood, vines, dahlias, roses, evergreens, etc.
Ask for summer catalogue.
Always question us freely.

The New Meehan-Plan for Lawn and Garden Planting
FOR properties one acre and under, or for any small questions of general planting ask for a “New Property Data Form,” on which you return to us information and rough diagram of your place. Without obligations to you we have the Landscape Department make a preliminary study and outline suggest- ing a general planting scheme — the picture to be worked out. On your approval and return of preliminary, we draw up a list of stock in detail and submit it with estimate. For prop- erties over one acre or with intricate prob- lems, deal directly and professionally with the Landscape Department, at Mt. Airy, Pa.

New and Rare Plants
1916 REVISION
The following are recommended not alone because
they are uncommon, but also for their unusual merit.
We confidently offer them as ones that are sure to
please and interest you — not mere novelties.
SOMETHING REALLY NEW
You know the Red Bud or Judas Tree. We have a limited stock of pure white ones. People who have seen the original plants in flower on our nurseries go into ecstacies over them. This is the first time we have been able to offer it.
Strong plants, 2 feet, at $2.00 each.
A RARE LILAC
Everyone is fond of Lilacs. Syringa oblata is one with a pronouncedly heart-shaped leaf — much better foliage than that of the common one. But it is the flower that is so lovely, and it blooms before any of the others, when you will most appreciate it.
Plants 2 feet, $1.00 each.
A NEW IDEA IN HONEYSUCKLES
The most striking plant that came to notice the past summer was Lonicera Heckrotti grown as a shrub. Plant it where it will have no support so it may grow bush-like. Covered with coral red flowers in August and September, a time when shrubs in flower are rare. 3-year-old plants from pots, 75 cents each.
THREE BEST SINGLE ALTHAEAS
Single, pure white. Single blue and single pink. Out of the many varieties of Althaeas these three stand out as the best. All clear, bright and beautiful; not a dull color-tone in them.
One of each, good bushy plants, 3 feet high, for $1.50.
SINGLE KERRIA
The double Kerria is a general favorite, but the single is much admired by those who know it. A graceful light-green shrub that is just smothered in pleasing yellow flowers in spring. It is a plant that always looks well even in winter, the green stems adding color to the plantings.
Bushy plants, 3 feet, 50 cents each.
DESMODIUM PENDULIFLORUM
Although not a new plant it is not known as well as it should be. A mass of misty purple bloom in Septem- ber best describes it. Likes a light soil and sunny position. Plant at least five and form a good clump. 35 cents each ; 5 for $1.30.
LAUREL=LEAVED OAK
Instead of the habitually-planted maple or poplar, plant a tree on your lawn with some class to it. One that will be different from the common trees of the neighborhood. Quercias imbricaria is an oak with a leaf like a laurel. Rich dark green, and very at- tractive, without disease or insect pests.
8-year-old trees, 8 feet high, for $3.00.
Thomas Meehan & Sons, Germantown, Phila.
PURPLE MAGNOLIA
This is not a tree but a bush with purple flowers in spring before the leaves come out. Even without flowers it is worth planting on account of the rich foliage.
Fine large bushy plants, 4 feet high, $2.00 each.
WASHINGTON THORN
The best of the native thorns, Crataegus cordata. We
have a large specimen on the nursery. If we could only get enough people to come and see it when in flower and fruit we could sell all we could raise. If you cannot come and see for yourself take our word for it and plant one.
3 feet, at 50 cents.
BIGNONIA CAPREOLATA
The evergreen Trumpet Vine. An old vine rarely ever seen. Splendid for covering walls.
Strong plants, $1.00 each.
GREEN FERN-LEAVED JAPANESE MAPLE
Superb specimens 5 feet high are really the last word in beauty. All the branches have a downward ten- dency, and the leaves being such a delightful pale green and so finely cut make exquisite specimens. Ask for select specimens.
They are $5.00 each.
ROCK ROSES
If you are not familiar with the lovely Rock Roses don’t confuse them with the regular roses. They are a dwarf trailing herbaceous plant, extremely popular in the old country.
15 cents each ; $1.20 per 10 ; $15.00 per 100.
A HARDY FUCHSIA
Fuchsias are greenhouse plants in this country, but Fuchsia Reccartoni is hardy enough to grow out of doors in sunny, warm positions in the North and is the prettiest of them all. It forms a little bush 2 to 3 feet high and covered the greater part of the sum- mer with small pendulous red flowers.
Plants from pots, 50 cents each ; $3.50 for 10.
GLOBE-HEADED MULBERRY
Entirely new, and introduced by us for the first time. Similar in outline to Catalpa Bungei, but leaves smaller and neater. As hardy as Teas’ Weeping Mul- berry.
2-year heads, stems 5 feet, $2.50 each.
NEW ROSE
Edgar Andreu. New climbing rose. Better qualities than Crimson Rambler. Flowers twice as large. Red. Foliage neat and without mildew.
2-year pot-grown, 50 cents each.
FOR SHADED BORDERS
Senecio clivorum. One of the famous Wilson dis- coveries in China. Luxuriant growth. Panicles of yellow flowers. Hardy herbaceous perennial.
25 cents each ; $2.00 per 10 ; $15.00 per 100.

Deciduous Trees
THE BEST TREES THAT MONEY CAN BUY
Not only started right, but grown right, sold right and shipped right.
The soil is regularly fertilized with the best plant food ever produced — barnyard manure.
Trees are set wide apart that they may have room for individual development, root and branch, get abundant air-circulation, and be open to strength-giving light.
The selection of plants for an order is a special care. Everything chosen and dug fresh to your order.
The digging is in charge of small groups of experienced men — no large gangs of laborers rushed through by brute superintendence, but each little group with at least one man who has been under training for at least ten years.
One of the most critical points, the packing house, is under the constant supervision of the vigilant foreman, Mr. Brown, and one may count on shipments going out in A-l condition. Buyers of plants are sometimes in- duced to try other nurseries, but usually return to Meehans’ wiser.
“Diam.” means diameter of trunk of tree at base. 25 trees of any one kind are sold at the 100-rate named for that plant.
Acer— THE MAPLE
Street, Avenue, Lawn and Shade
Popular everywhere as street and avenue trees. The Norway and Sugar for street, Schwedler’s and Silver for avenues, and all as lawn specimens. The lovely Japanese kinds are not tree-like; we call them “Tree- Shrubs,” as they grow bushy and usually without single leaders. The Cork Maple has small leaves, rugged growth, and medium size — distinct.

It is a mistaken notion that Oaks are slow growing. They are a little difficult to establish, but after they once get started their growth compares favorably with any of the good trees.
They are worth the effort, no disease or insect pests, rarely storm broken, long lived and always of good appearance.

Coniferous Evergreens
These are the cone-bearing Evergreens, as spruce, fir, pine and cedar, as distinct from such broad-leaved shrub- bery and flowering evergreens, as boxwood and Rhodo- dendron.
As evergreens are usually desired for special purposes, let us aid you in your selection. Tell us about the position — general location, or size of bed. We believe in frequent transplanting, development, even at addi- tional cost.
Every evergreen plant is dug with care and the ball of earth about the roots done up in burlap.
The prices named are per single plant unless specified.

PLANT EVERGREENS April, May, August and September 0 &
Meehans* Evergreens
are in the vigor of advanced youth; large enough to effect a satisfying fullness; small enough to avoid excessive expense.
True plants of the nursery — transplanted for endurance, cultivated for strength, knife- pruned for form, leaders trained for character. Superior plants in every sense. Every plant dug with ball of earth and burlapped.

Broad-Leaved Evergreen Shrubs
In winter, when the landscape is almost shorn of its beauty, the bright glossy foliage of evergreen shrubs makes a brave display. A deep, cool, moist sub-soil with proper drainage is the ideal soil, and a shaded position is often preferable, as bright sunlight during the winter months is likely to injure the foliage of some of them.

POINTS ON THE CULTIVATION OF RHODODENDRONS
Rhododendrons may be grown in any soil that does not contain lime in appreciable quantities.
Dig out the beds 2 feet deep and mix with the natural soil leaf mold from the woods, well rotted stable or cow manure, and, if the soil is heavy, a liberal quantity of coarse sand.
Set the plants a trifle deeper than the groundmark on the stem shows they have been before.
Soak the roots in water before putting in the ground and, above all, tread the ground firmly around them. More plants fail through lack of moisture due to im- proper planting than any other cause.
Do not cultivate the ground among the plants, but keep it mulched with leaves or well rotted manure, which will absorb moisture like a sponge.
Partial shade is beneficial, but under trees where the ground is kept poor and dry is not a good position.
Rhododendrons should be planted fairly close together. One-and-a-half times the height of the plant out of the ground is a good general rule. Thus plants 2 to 2^ feet high should be set about 3 feet apart.
RHODODENDRON
Rhododendron hybridum. The hardiest and showiest
varieties as follows:
Album elegans. White, tinged with pink in bud. Strong vigorous grower.
Album grandiflorum. Very fine white, with delicate lavender tint.

Boule de Neige. White. Neat, compact grower. Caractacus. Rich crimson. Large, handsome truss. Charles Bagley. Purple red.
Delicatissima. A very delicate tint of light pink.

WHEN TO PLANT
The proper times to plant are when plants are dormant or when they can be moved without disturb- ing the roots.
A careful and thorough plantsman can transplant almost any time if he knows his plant, and how to care for it.
To extend the normal planting season, we carry roses, chrysanthemums and many plants in pots and tubs. These are usually set out after May first, and throughout the summer.
Plant Dahlias and Gladiolus till middle of May.
Rhododendrons and other Evergreens April and May, August and September.
Paeonies preferably in August or September.
Bulbs in late fall.
Sow grass seed when the ground is mellow in spring or late summer, when rains may be expected.
Fertilize the lawn, using bone-meal in early spring, hard-wood ashes in spring, and stable manure in late fall.
Mulch plants with manure in early winter, and well-rotted manure in summer.

Roses
(See Deciduous Shrubs for Wild and Shrub Roses)
All our Roses are on their own roots, two or more years old, and pot grown. The very best stock it is possible to get to give quick and lasting results.
New Roses are constantly produced, but with flexible conservatism we avoid taxing the imagination and faith of our patrons. Our list may be taken as contain- ing the uneclipsed varieties of the past, together with some of the better new ones that have been found en- tirely worthy.
In growing Roses and some other plants, we usually have them in pots to facilitate transplanting without checking the advancing growth. By this means superior results are obtained. The uncertainties of dormant field-grown and counter-stock are entirely eliminated. Some varieties, particularly the Bush Roses, are not usually set out until about May 1, and are not shipped with other orders.

Hedges
Hedges to be a success must be intelligently planted and properly cared for. Don’t try to transplant a full grown hedge; you will never be pleased with the results. The essentials for a hedge that you will be proud of are: Select the kind that suits the position and purpose. If you don’t know, ask us.
Start with vigorous young plants of even grade.
Dig a good trench and fertilize it with well rotted manure.
Set the plants evenly, treading the soil firmly around them.
After they are planted cut down to one level. In the case of deciduous plants such as Barberry and Privet two-thirds is not too much to take off, or in other words if the plants are 3 to 4 feet when set cut them all back to one level of about 1 foot. It will insure all the plants getting an even start and the hedge being thick and bushy at the bottom.
The figures in parenthesis denote the distance apart at which they may be set in the hedge row. Measure from center to center.
Berberis Thunbergii. Japanese Barberry. Makes a beautiful dwarf hedge, pretty habit and foliage, with bright red berries to give a winter effect. Especially suitable for dry positions.

For the Lawn
Meehans’ Peerless Mixture is a rare combination of many varieties of the highest value and quality. These are mixed in the proper proportions, the private formula being the result of our own experience of many years. The demands upon the Landscape De- partment made the pressing need of such a mixture very apparent. This department has used hundreds of bushels on its many operations, with marked suc- cess. The bushel is a liberal one — 20 pounds — and the price is reasonable. Spread from three to five bushels to an acre. Scratch bare places in the lawn with a sharp-toothed rake, scatter the seed plentifully, then roll it.
1 qt $0.25
1 qt. postpaid 30
1 bushel (20 pounds) 5.50
Quantity required: One quart for 300 square feet;
1 acre requires 4 to 5 bushels.
MEEHANS’ SHADY LAWN GRASS SEED
Some grasses flourish as well in shade or partial shade as the Kentucky Blue does in the sun.
Meehans’ Shady Lawn Grass Seed is just such a mixture. It is a combination of grass seeds known to do well in the shady spot, so often the one trying condition connected with the beautification of the lawn.
1 qt $0.35
1 qt. postpaid 40
1 bushel (20 pounds) 6.00
Quantity required: One quart for 300 square feet;
1 acre requires 4 to 5 bushels.
MEEHANS’ CANADIAN WOOD ASHES
To sweeten a sour lawn or improve a heavy soil, use wood ashes.
These may be applied to the same ground on which bone meal has been used, but let it follow three or four weeks later.

Quantity required: One pound for each 10 square
feet; 1£ to 2 tons to the acre.
MEEHANS’ UNADULTERATED BONE MEAL
Though not the pleasantest article to handle, bone meal certainly contains the real plant food. It gets to work quickly if spread early, and you can see results. You may pay more but you can’t get better than the high grade we offer.
