POSTAGE PAID EVANS CITY, PA. PERMIT No. 1 Fine Balled and Burl Freshly Dug Whei ALL of us know that there will be a revival of business this spring. We also know that the producers and distributors of the necessities of life — the basic trades — will reap the first benefits. Those of us who deal in the commodities which make for dignified and gracious living after our basic needs are supplied must wait a few months longer. Our turn will come, and soon, but in the mean' time we must watch our step. For a few months longer prices of nursery stock must be Dwarf and Spreading Evergreens Specially Suitable for Edging and Low Foundation Planting. Juniperus chinensis Pfitzeriana (Pfitzer s Juniper).

There are two ways of accomplishing this; the first being to cut the quality of our plants, and the second to reduce the amount of the so'called individual service which usually accompanies the filling of each order. While this service is pleasant when we can afford to pay for it, obvious- ly it adds nothing whatever to the value of the plants. The Elliott Nursery Co. will not cut its quality. It can, however, cut out the frills and to such of its customers as will help it to do this, it offers very substantial price reductions.

Dogwood (Cornus florida) IF this lovely tree had nothing to offer for our enjoyment besides its great spread of glorb ous white flowers in the springtime, we still could not do without it. This, however, is not its only virtue. In the fall while its leaves turn flaming red, the Dogwood spreads for our pleasure its great crop of beautiful, scar' let berries. 41 CL> -S c j= o ■cE“ftS 8'C^.S CL 41 -C *G d) S c d> ’ rt rt a ’ bo d> ^ u ^3 G G ■§ 3 » * l-« bO nrt Oh c: .jo o ^ T3 £> h c H u CO -rt.S tS ' - CO ■ *-H co £ *3 - w « W w 2 w l42 C3 1 *h »* u< G o U « w u c H r-J *. x S? & d> •- SJ h-6 g 0 g cJi to ^ c/d w u ^ j-H d) *-G * * P G f+ *'—n CL CD '7^ d) ^ co G £ dJ *5 a.

Norway Maple (Acer platanoides) The most popular and the most widely planted tree in cul¬ tivation. Develops into a tall, round-headed tree, the foliage of which is so very dense that the sunlight seldom penetrates through it. 6 to 8 ft. high. $1.60 each; 3 for $4.50 Sal ix Salamoni (Salamoni Willow) This is the fastest growing tree hardy in northern latitudes. Planted in identical conditions it will grow faster even than the Carolina Poplar. Most fast growing trees are trashy, being short lived and brittle with a tendency to go to pieces even before they have made their full development. Worse than this, many of them seem to delight in playing host to all sorts of despicable insect pests and malignant plant diseases. Few have any beauty. The Salamoni Willow is first of all a handsome tree with a life cycle of from fifty to seventy years. In the forty odd years we have known it, it has never developed any bad habits, remaining a graceful and beautiful object until the end. MmaammmBm&sBaEi&a 6 to 8 ft. high. 75c each; 3 for $2.00 Pin Oak (Quercus palustris) Like all the Oaks, the Pin Oak is a tree of great dignity. While it develops a very symmetrical form, it never becomes harsh and awkward, al¬ ways remaining light and graceful without being frivolous. Its leaves are deep¬ ly cut. Given liberal planting it will grow almost as fast as many of the cheap, shoddy, short-lived trees which the uninformed are so often per¬ suaded to piant. 6 to 8 ft. high. $1.60 each; 3 for $4.50 These trees cannot be sent by mail. The Salamoni Willow. This sale is for cash only — No accounts opened at these prices Improved English Hybrids. Range in color from very light blue to very dark blue, overlaid irreg' ularly with tonqg of pink and lavender, rose, and lilac. Black spots on pistil and anthers at center of flower. Many blossoms show white secondary petals of white spots at base of major petals. A wonderful wealth of color variation in the English Hybrids. Fine Mixed English Hybrids. $2.50 per doz.; $7.50 per 50; $15.00 per 100. English Hybrids, Extra Selected Varieties. 50c each; $5.00 per doz. Belladonna. Uniform light sky'blue. The most uni' versally admired and desired of the solid color varieties. $2.50 per doz.; $7.50 per 50; $15.00 per 100. Bellamosa (The Improved Formosum). For solid dark blue color, unequalled among Delphiniums — positively the best. $2.50 per doz.; $7.50 per 50; $15.00 per 100. Delphiniums may be ordered on open account. If wanted by parcel post, add 15c for each six plants. ■WIIUMMIIIM Tall English Delphiniums BLOOMING all summer, coming up year after year, sending aloft successive shafts of incredible color to a height of five, six, eight feet. It is doubtful if any other plant so superb as Delphinium ever graced a garden. Few people are aware of the per¬ fection to which this ancient flower has been brought by modern culture, how easily it can be planted and grown, and how lasting a delight the gardener secures who plants Del¬ phinium. If everyone knew, tall, hardy Delphiniums would be more in evidence everywhere. We offer specially selected plants grown from seeds of famous named varieties. Will grow anywhere but do best in rich garden soil. Every imag¬ inable tint and shade of blue, laven¬ der, and purple. We promise you’ll find positive joy in their extraor¬ dinary bloom.

SPECIAL For those who prefer Poppies in mixture, we will furnish Ori- ental Hybrids Mixed. __ ^ UT REMEMBER very well the first time I saw an Oriental Poppy. I was a boy then, and it ex¬ cited me wonderfully, and I thought it the most remarkable flower in the world; and now, after fifty years have gone by and I have seen all the known flowers of the world, I am still of the opinion that it is mighty fine; one of the most striking and effec¬ tive perennials in cultivation.” Our founder, Mr. J. Wilkinson Elliott, said this fifteen years ago and it is still true. One who has not seen the blazing beauty of the Oriental Poppies has not yet seen a garden. We grow the six finest varieties in cultivation. They are: Bracteata. Enormous, blazing red blooms. Grand Mogul. Bright red. Excellent habit. Mrs. Perry. Bright orange-apricot, shaded pink. Princess Ena. Small, tulip-like flowers of orange- salmon. Royal Scarlet. Profuse bloomer; medium size; rich scarlet. Silverblick. Salmon, with blue blotches. The regular price is 25c at the nursery.
