All inquiries for this work are turned over to Ernest F. Coe, Landscape Architect. Write to him direct for terms. PRACTICAL SUPERINTENDENCE AND GENERAL PLANTING. Connected with the Nursery are experienced men who thoroughly under- stand Forestry work, including pruning of trees, etc., also those who can carry out Garden plans in a direct and workmanlike manner. We can arrange for a number of contracts each season and would advise parties who anticipate availing themselves of this service to consult with us as far in advance as possible. GRADING AND TURFING. We have every facility for doing this work, and know how to establish fine velvety lawns. : Specimens for Immediate Effect. 7s. the nursery we give special attention to growing into large sizes many kinds of fruit and ornamental trees, shrubs, vines, etc., for by their use much quicker results can be obtained than by the use of smaller stock, We have now a limited number of fruiting sizes in Apple, Pear, Cherry, Plum and Quince trees, also many fine specimen Shade-trees, Shrubs and Vines, and Roses. Particular attention is called to our large collection of specimen Evergreens, ready for immediate effects. The number of these specimen plants is always more limited than of the smaller grades. A visit to the nursery is desirable where the selection of individual specimens is required. By sending us a description of what is desired we can usually make selections which will be perfectly satisfactory when a personal visit is not practicable.

Cony RB From Photo Much Reduceé. Peete The New ——e— Crimson Rambler Rose Philadelphia. HIS sterling novelty originated on the experiment grounds of the Rural New Yorker and is a cross between the well-known Crimson Rambler and the splendid deep crimson hardy rose Victor Hugo. In rapidity of growth it rivals the Crimson Rambler and also surpasses it in beauty of foliage, and has so far proved with us practically mildew proof. The character of the bloom is, however, that which gives it its pre-eminence. They are larger than the old Crimson Rambler and full to the center and of a deeper crimson color, and do not fade purplish as they mature. Another important feature is the earliness of blooming, being in full bloom before the Crimson Rambler is showing color, giving it a special field of usefulness of its own. We predict for this rose a great future. Other Rambler and Climbing Roses. Baltimore Belle. Pale blush, becoming Multiflora. A charming species, introduced nearly white; compact and fine. from Japan.

HERE is no doubt as to the uni- T versal popularity of the rose. The fact that many of the most beauti- ful of the varieties are perfectly hardy and thrive luxuriantly in the garden is a source of congratulation to lovers of out-of-door gardening. Enthusiasts at work with the rose, by various hybrids and crosses, have succeeded in pro- ducing no end of variety of form, color, and fragrance of bloom and the greatest variety of habit of growth, from the little fairy roses of a few inches in height to the rampant growth of the well-known and popular ramblers. By a selection of suitable varieties one can have roses for almost any garden position. All roses respond quickly to good treatment, by this we mean well en- riched soil, enough water, suitable trimming, etc. Failure to get good results is often caused by lack of suf- ficient fertility. Under usual conditions it is well to make the ground one-fifth well rotted manure to a depth of at least fifteen inches when preparing for a new planting with a liberal sprinkling of wood ashes and ground bone added, and an annual mulching of at least six inches deep of coarse stable manure about the roots applied late in the Fall and forked in, in the early Spring is a great help. Roses planted and treated under these conditions, if the ground is well drained, should luxuriate to such a degree as to satisfy everyone. During the months of June and July rose bushes should be watched and if insects appear dispose of them by any of the simple means known to gardeners. There are a number of very readable and instructive books devoted to the rose, its history and culture. A list of these, together with other horticultural books, are listed on inside back cover page. We have classified our roses under several headings, believing it will be a conven- ience to those making out orders. Garden Dybrids—strictty Hardy.

O more highly ornamental class of trees and shrubs exist than the Magnolia family. This is especially true of those known as the Asiatic species, which bloom before the leaves appear in the spring. Everyone is familiar with the large cup-shaped pink and white fragrant blooms which suddenly envelop the plant and fill the air with a delicate fragrance before we are hardly aware that spring has really arrived. There are a number of species and varieties varying in color, form, and time of blooming, from the bush-like Stellata with its very white and many-petaled bloom, to the more sedate and stately Lennei, blooming a month later, producing great cup-shaped, deep rosy red flowers. Our stock of the following kinds is very fine and most of them will take up and transplant with large balls of earth. When handled in this way we be- lieve practically no loss should result. STELLATA OR HALLEANA, sometimes known as the Star- MAGNOLIA STELLATA. Magnolia. It is a shrub seldom reaching a height of fifteen feet. Plants but a foot high will often bloom profusely. It is the first strictly hardy magnolia to bloom in the spring and its dainty but showy pure white flowers of delicate fragrance are always welcome. “Note the above illustration, which gives a very good idea of its earliness of blooming, for while it is in full bloom the surrounding vegetation has hardly begun to show any signs of returning spring. We consider this one of the most desirable of hardy shrubs, for it is not only very beautiful at its flowering season but interesting in form and foliage, very hardy and long lived. We cannot too highly recommend this charming plant and are glad to say that we have a very fine stock to offer. Prices.

Ae a shade and ornamental tree the Maple is to-day one of the most popular, the Sugar, Norway, Silver, Sycamore, Ash-leaved and Japan Maples all being very desirable in their many ways. We wish to call special attention to the following, which are very marked varieties of striking ornamental char- acter while preserving all the desirable features characteristic of the types: Turner’s Cut-leaved Silver Maple Genter var. Turnerii.) This new tree originated here at the nursery some years ago, appearing among a block of several thousand seedlings. It first attracted our attention by its very interesting deeply laciniated or fern-like foliage. which was in marked contrast to its neighbors. It was later removed to a favorable spot where it had a chance to develop and where we could watch it. Since then it has developed rapidly (for the Silver Maple is one of our fastest growing shade trees). The tree has a fine symmetrical habit, its outer branches are somewhat spreading while the young bark, stem and mid-rib of the leaf are of a most brilliant crimson. We consider it a most distinct variety and as a specimen tree it surely is an acquisition, We have worked up a nice stock of the Maple and offer the following sizes. Priees. | 12 to 18-foot Specimens, $2.50 to $10.00 each. 10 to 12 feet, Each, $1.50 Per 10, $12.50 Per 100, $100.00 8 to 10 feet, Each, 1.00 Per 10, 9.00 ~- Perioo, 75.00 Schwedler’s Amber-leaved Norway Maple 4c t72anredss, - This splendid variety originated in Europe some years ago and will be very popular in this country as soon as better known. The ordinary form of the Norway Maple,-of which this is a variety, is to-day a strong competitor for popular favor with the native hard or sugar Maple, it has so many merits to recommend it. This deep amber-leaved form (Schwedler’s) has all the merits of the type together with this special feature of its beautiful foliage which, when it first develops in the Spring, is the most intense amber red imaginable, slowly changing as the season advances to a deep rich green much the same as the copper beech. We cannot too strongly recommend this beautiful tree where a mass of bril- liant color is wanted through the Spring and early Summer and at the same time desire it in the form of a Maple tree. It will thrive almost anywhere and is very suitable for planting near the seashore. Prices. Io to 15-foot Specimens, $4.00 to $8.00 each. 4 to 6 ft., Each, $0.75 Per 10, $6.00 Gjtomo its Hache SO.

They have seemingly been a people keenly alive to the beauties of plants for centuries and have been developing by their loving care, forms of plants which are to-day marvelous for their peculiar beauty. That many of these beautiful forms are perfectly hardy and adapted for out- door planting in this climate we should consider fortunate. This is the case with these wonderfully beautiful little maples which the botanist tells us are garden varieties of a very interesting native bush-like tree, acer palmatum. We have tested on our grounds a great variety of forms grown in Japan and we believe the one we offer below is the most distinct and satisfactory. Our stock is thoroughly acclimated, and we can also offer a number of other varieties. This one offered here is known as the blood-leaved variety owing to the in- tense coloring when the foliage first unfolds. As the leaves mature they become a deep wine red varying according to the vigor and location of the plant. This form usually remains bushy, but sometimes becomes quite tree-like, getting to be 20 feet high. ‘ ; Prices for this Japan Maple.

O rare exotic has greater beauty of growth, bloom or Autumn coloring than N our native white flowering Dogwood. In the last of May its showy bloom lends its own peculiar charm to our woodland borders and an occasional isolated tree or group of them will stand out boldly and command our admiration. While this dogwood will thrive under the greatest variety of exposures and soil conditions it is most happy in association with other trees, which is fortunate, as there are many times, in the evolution of a landscape scheme, where the use of tree-like plants, which are naturally suited for planting in the partially shaded foreground of larger trees, is important. White Flowering Dogwood. This is the native form as we see it in the woodlands and occasionally in plantings and is certainly very attractive. We anticipate a much more general use of it in the future, many now using it freely along drives and woodland borders as well as for specimens, as several orders for them by the hundreds within the past two seasons indicates. We have succeeded in getting up a fine lot of this valuable tree to offer for this season. Prices— White. Specimens, 6-10 ft., $1.50 to $6.00 each.

This is a very marked variety of the native white dogwood. In habit it is very similar to the type but produces in the greatest quantities, blooms whose showy involucres are deep rosy red, making a splendid display, either by themselves or if planted so as to contrast with the other forms, the effect is often very beautiful. Pink Flowering Dogwood. This is an intermediate form as to color, the habit being very like the preceding. The color is a clear soft pink when in bloom and where the three are planted so that their contrasting colors can be enjoyed, the effect is splendid. This fontn originated here at the Nursery and we are not aware that it can be procured any where else. Prices—Rubra and Rosea. Specimens, 6-8 ft., $2.50 to $10.00 each.

Ghree— Rocky Mountain Gyergreens. HE following three Evergreens have become famous not only in our country but abroad for their exquisite beauty. Since the first of the Rocky Mountain explorers returned with _ glowing accounts of that wonderful country much has been written of their grandeur in their habitat. These Evergreens have proved to be perfectly suitable for planting here in the east; in fact, do so much better than most of the European evergreens which have been so freely used in the past that they are likely to largely supercede them in the near future for gen- eral planting. They will thrive in almost any location where the ground is well drained and will stand the most severe exposure. Colorado Blue Spruce—Picea Pungens. See above illustration of vigorous young tree. Perhaps the most popular evergreen now planted in the east and the demand, especially for the blue specimens, is equal to the supply. We have a large stock of medium-sized trees, all several times transplanted and many of them of very fine color. Prices. Specimens, selected biue, 1 to 5 feet, $3.00 to $20.00 each. 2- 3 ft.

Where it is native it forms immense forests and is an important timber tree. It succeeds splendidly in the eastern states and bids fair to supercede the Norway Spruce where quick eftects are desired, as its general appearance is much more effective owing to its softer and more graceful habit.

NE must be devoid of even ordinary appreciation of Nature’s beauty as expressed in O woodland scenery not to have been impressed with the grandeur of a grove of our noble white pine, a ravine of hemlocks, or the forests of white spruce, the latter dominating the scenery throughout many parts of the north. While these trees are objects which demand our admiration and are as well timber trees of commercial importance, these fine trees are also of utmost value to the planter who wishes to plant out trees which will produce interesting and permanent effects. They will thrive almost anywhere, provided the ground is well drained. We have an immense stock to select from of many sizes up to large specimens. 5 z Mhite Pine (Pinus Strobus.) The grandest of our native evergreens and esteemed even in Europe for its great beauty. While it grows to be a large timber tree in time it is always beautiful from babyhood up. The smal] trees in the Nursery appeal to one with their soft pleasing green foliage and as they develop they are always graceful and effective and finally, where opportunity affords, they assume in the grandeur of full development very characteristic outlines, such as appeal to the artist. It is also a valuable timber tree and many a hillside now of no special value either for its beauty or utility could be planted to white pines which would not only develop into a feature of beauty but eventually represent a material asset. Our stock of this splendid evergreen is very large and for forestry planting we can offer them by the thousands at very low prices. The following prices are for very carefully grown stock, frequently transplanted and given every opportunity to develop individually so as to make fine specimens for planting. - rices.

American Demlock (Tsuga Canadensis.) Practically everyone is familiar with the graceful beauty of our native hemlock. Its pendant branches and soft deep green foliage appeals favorably to us all. It is one of the very few evergreens that grows well in the shade of other trees; in fact, it often seems to reach its most beautiful development under these conditions. For general lawn and land- scape planting this hemlock lends itself in more ways than perhaps any other evergreen. As a specimen, in groups or for free planting throughout a woodland it is always beautiful. We have a large stock of the medium size plants and a fair supply of the larger sizes. Prices.

This fine compact native spruce resembles the well-known Norway Spruce in general appearance excepting that it is much more compact and a slower grower. It is also very much hardier, withstanding without injury.even- in the most exposed places, the severest winds. It makes a very nice specimen tree and is especially recommendable for hedges and windbreaks.

Could any plant, even from the tropics, be more gorgeous than well established Rhododen- drons, when in bloom? Rhododen dron S, Rardy Catawbiense a s Garden Varieties. T is generally accepted that Rhododendrens are among the most beautiful and desirable | garden material that we have. The broad, massive, evergreen foliage and the enveloping clouds of exquisite flowers during the season of bloom make them at once indispensable. There is, however, a prevailing idea that Rhododendrons are difficult to grow successfully, while at the same time.most of us are familiar with many stately plants and whole masses of them in perfect health and vigor, and in many cases receiving no more care than is usually given to hardy shrubs. Rhododendrons seem to be able to thrive in almost any kind of soil that is well drained. An abundance of moisture is one of the most important features, especially with newly set plants, several thorough waterings during the first summer and fall are necessary as the plants are quite susceptible to drought, until they become thoroughly established. Rhododendrons succeed best in partial shade and are benefited by a slight covering of evergreen boughs in winter, until they are established, at least. Named Garden Varieties.

Rhododendron Maximum. (Rose-bay or Great Laurel.) This splendid evergreen shrub grows native as far north as Nova Scotia and Ontario This species is very much at home where the shade of surrounding trees makes the success- ful growing of many desirable shrubs impossible, which gives it an additional value. No ‘other plant can be used in generous masses more effectively along woodland drives or paths either in public parks or priyate estates, making a special feature during the blossoming season. Also very valuable for massing about buildings. Kalmia Latifolia. (Vountain or American Laurel, Calico-Bush.) This is also a plant with a wide native range and in its own special field quite as de- sirable as the preceding, leaves are similar and more glossy and the blooms are equally showy. While this most desirable shrub thrives very well under the shade of trees, it reaches its best development where the location is more open. This Laurel is most effective when used in generous masses. The stock of both these desirable plants we have to offer we supply direct from their native field where the greatest care is used by our collector to select only plants which take up with good balls of earth. These are shipped in car-load lots direct to the customer’s railroad station and invariably arrive in perfect condition. Prices. Carload lots, $90.00 to $125.00 per car, with freight added. This item of freight we can determine within a few days when so requested. These car lots contain from 75 to 200 plants, according .to the size desired. Where they are desired for massing, the greater variety of sizes and shapes the better. In ordering if you will state what you require we can have the plants dug and car packed thoroughly. A limited number of these plants are the Nursery. Dear Sirs: “When winter set in there seemed to be only two or three or so of the | Rhododendrons plants out of the entire lot of about three cars that gave | signs of not being likely to live and there seemed to be a chance that they might pull through. I think we lost a few during the Summer, less than a | half dozen altogether, so that as a whole they have thus far proved a very | agreeable surprise to me.” [ Very truly yours, | ies Dae = | | The Elm City Nursery Co.

Bardy Bydrangea (ion” HERE is no more popular shrub to-day for our gardens and lawns than this + plant. Not only of the easiest culture and thriving under a great variety of conditions, but it can be used in so many ways effectively. As a single piant standing alone it can be trained into a fine specimen. Grown in masses by itself it is often very effective, and for grouping in combination with other trees and shrubs it is many times very satisfactory. It takes kindly to being pruned and if one wishes to keep the growth low, an annual cutting down seems not to injure the plants. As it is in its greatest beauty in August and September when few showy shrubs are in bloom, this feature lends an additional value to it.

Berberis Japanese Barberry Thinversi NOTHER fine addition to our list of shrubs. It is of low growing habit, forming a compact growth seldom over four feet. It makes a splendid specimen, groups well with other shrubs and as a hedge plant where a low informal hedge is required nothing can rival this barberry. The foliage until Autumn is a pleasing light green, but as the frost appears this barberry begins to take on deep amber green tints, slowly changing to the deepest crimson and finally to rich yellow, and as the foliage drops the crimson berries, which were before partially hidden from view, fairly rival the foliage in its former brilliancy. These berries remain on without withering throughout the winter, giving a very beautiful effect. The great popularity of this interesting shrub is now universal and it could be said with safety, if you are in doubt in planting shrubs, plant Japan Barberry.

HIS wonderful daisy of which a gieat deal has been written in the aE horticultural press the past year, is the work of Mr. Luther Burbank, of California, to whom we are indebted for so many fine introductions. Flowers are of the purest glistening white, of enormous size, about four inches in diameter, and are borne on long, strong, stiff, wiry stems, about two feet in length. The flowers are produced in the greatest profusion, plants remaining in bloom for several months—in fact, all summer if the matured flowers are removed. They are perfectly hardy perennials, and make a valuable addition to our list of hardy plants on account of the abun- dance of flowers produced and their wonderful size and beauty. For cutting the flowers are very effective. Mr. Burbank states that more admiration has been bestowed on this Shasta Daisy by visitors, than upon any other flowering plant growing on his grounds.

Golden Glow Ruste. op OTWITHSTANDING that this fine hardy garden plant has been N offered but for a few years, it is now generally known throughout the country and the demand for it has been very large each year. It, however, is so valuable for so many uses that we have worked up a large stock of it for this season. It is a herbaceous plant and grows each season under favorable con- ditions, if not pinched back, six to seven feet high, a well established plant sending up many strong stems. In July and August the plant becomes a mass of brilliant golden yellow flowers much resembling a fair chrysanthe- mum, and produced on graceful stems. As a garden plant for backgrounds, or for planting for a screen-like effect along walls or fences it is splendid and will grow well in partial shade. As a cut flower it is very fine, good generous bunches with long stems can be arranged most effectively. Some plant a good lot of it in the garden just to have it in plenty for cutting. The plants we offer are large enough to bloom freely this season, especially the larger ones.

Sweet illiam, EAR to the hearts of many a flower-lover, the literature of the old-time gardens teems DD with pleasant references to this splendid plant. Perfectly hardy and easily grown, its brilliant flowers lasting for many weeks. It can be used freely to advantage in many garden scenes. The plants form clumps of bright evergreen foliage which is desirable in the flower border, making them important even when not in flower. We have at the Nursery a fine lot of large stocky plants which are ready to give an abundant display of bloom this season. This stock is all grown from plants here at the Nursery which have been selected for their brilliancy of color and fine form. By using these plants definite color effects can be depended on.

HE only strictly hardy member of this interesting class of decorative | plants, and it is really one of the most attractive of the order, aside from its entire hardiness. The above illustration taken at the Nursery this past summer gives a good idea of the airy effectiveness of the plants when in full flower, where a number of plants are grouped together, after the plants are well established, these flower heads often reach six to seven feet in height, bearing in great freedom these pure white pendant lilies. Hardly a garden plan but where they can be arranged effectively. The flowering season is July and August, a season of comparative scarcity of effective blooming garden material. As desirable a plant as this Yucca is in bloom, it is only one of its good points, as its foliage is quite evergreen,. remaining, even in very exposed situations, unaffected in the severest weather, and as the character of its growth is so very different from any other hardy garden plant we have, it always forms a strong and pleasing contrast. Again, this Yucca thrives in very light sandy soil and can be established in rocky dry places often with telling effect. While it is one of the easiest of plants to transplant, we advise having the tops cut well back at time of planting and will do so here at the Nursery before sending them out unless requested to the contrary.

They are | the higher forms of vegetation, many of them developing into majestic proportions, their great trunk and arching limbs supporting a wealth of delicate foliage, every line a line of grace and beauty. What a refining pleasure to be so situated that one can be surrounded by these noble expressions of nature, and what a study for one in observing, from day to day and year to year, the little sapling, seemingly no different from many other surrounding forms, slowly and surely gaining in size and development, until finally it reaches the grand proportions that make it the monarch of all vegetation.

ROSE-BAY, see Rhododendrons, page 15, The above engraving offers suggestions for the treatment of restricted city garden areas. By the planting about the boundaries of tall enough growing material so as to screen objectionable features and using the foregrounds for shrubs and other attractive plants, leaving a goodly plot of lawn undisturbed, one can so arrange a very limited area as to be delightfully attractive and altogether do away with the feeling of restriction which so often depresses one in the usual restricted city garden. The same principle applies where greater freedom exists, only on a larger scale. Deciduous flowering Shrubs. HE term shrub is usually applied to such forms of plants as are hardy and make perma- T nent wood but do not assume the proportions of trees. This class of plants is most useful, their many graceful forms and attractive flowers and the many ways that they can be manipulated in the creation of attractive effects makes them indispensable. Where space is too limited to allow for much tree planting, by the judicious use of Shrubs very desirable results can be gained, and in developing a large landscape theme their importance is evident. There are a host of forms suitable for general planting and we endeavor to keep well informed relative to all the desirable sorts. DECIDUOUS FLOWERING SHRUBS.

LL plants whose roots are hardy and remain alive from year to year and whose tops annually die to the ground are classified under this heading. It includes such splendid garden plants as Paeonies, Iris, Larkspurs, etc. The great ease with which these plants can be grown and their great variety of color and form and season of bloom make them indispensable for the garden. Of late years, there has been a steadily increasing de- mand 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 these a specialty at the nursery, growing them in large quantities out in the open fields under the most favorable conditions. The classification is the one adopted by Prof. L. H. Bailey in the Cyclopedia of American Horticulture. Height at flowering season and time of blossom- ing, general color of bloom, and very brief description only are attempted in this abridged list. Prices. All the following Hardy Herbaceous Plants are offered in two sizes, as follows, unless otherwise noted.

From photograph of Meeker Cherries; for description see top of page 61. fruit Department. RUIT growing on a large scale is one of the country’s profitable in- F dustries and in old New England large tracts of country are now being rapidly put into orchards, which only a few years ago were practically abandoned as worthless. It is probably true that no part of our country offers an opportunity to grow better flavored or colored fruits, especially apples and peaches, than the New England hills. The large profits from peach orchards within the last few years are well known. In a smaller way the home acre, yes, even the small city garden, can be made to return crops of fruit well worth all the labor expended; then, too, there is the other side, the genuine pleasure and profit many of us get and more would if they only knew what they are missing, in watching the » trees grow, from the blossoming time, when the orchards rival in beauty the flower gardens, then the doubtful time of fruit forming, and on through their development until the ripening colors appear and in the full maturity we have the actual fruits of our watchfulness and care. One must be in- different, indeed, not to find pleasure in the fruit garden and orchard. APPLES—Standard.

Meeker Cherry 2520007" RIGINATED in New Haven and sent out only by us. The quality () of the fruit is the ideal Oxheart type, meaty, sweet and juicy, com- bined with its own peculiarly agreeable flavor. Color when fully ripe is a rich yellow, shading to a brilliant red on the sunny side. For shape and size see illustration. An important feature of this new cherry is its productiveness and annual bearing habit, not having failed to produce a heavy crop yearly since coming into bearing. The fruit does not decay before maturity—a fatal weakness of many of the older sorts. Season of ripening is July 5th to roth at New Haven.
