PACKING
This department is in charge of experts who use the utmost care in digging and packing all orders. We have always used sphagnum moss in wrapping plants; it is the very best material which can be procured. No matter whether an order is small or large, it always receives the same careful attention, and we can assure any prospective buyer that all orders will be packed properly. Throughout the season we receive numerous testimonials from our customers telling us of the excellent manner in which stock arrived, although in many cases delayed for a long time in transit. These testimonials we receive from all parts of the United States. Those who live at a considerable distance need have no fear about stock arriving in poor shape due to faulty packing.
SHIPPING
We always advise having herbaceous stock shipped by express and will make delivery by this method unless otherwise advised. Please give us definite instruc¬ tions as to mode of transportation desired, giving routing where there is any pref¬ erence; where no routing is given we will use our best judgment in making ship¬ ment but will not be held responsible for delays which may result from such action.
PRICES
Five of any one variety will be sold at the 10 rate; 30 of one variety will be sold at the 100 rate; 300 of one variety will be sold at the 1,000 rate, where the 1,000 rate is given.
Prices on ferns and herbaceous stock include packing and delivery to the local freight or express office. All prices are based on express or freight shipment. In case a customer desires to have stock shipped by parcel post, 10 per cent of the amount of the order should be added to cover delivery charges east of the Mis¬ sissippi River, and 20 per cent on orders to points west of the Mississippi River.
All evergreens and shrubs will be shipped by express or freight collect. The prices on evergreen trees, evergreen shrubs, and deciduous shrubs include all packing charges, and delivery to the local express or freight office.
CLAIMS
No claims will be entertained unless received within ten days after the receipt of the stock. While we use proper care in packing, we cannot be held responsible for undue delay in transit. We hold ourselves in readiness at all times to replace stock which arrives in poor order due to faulty packing.
HOW TO REACH OUR NURSERIES
Our nurseries are located at Southwick, Mass. The New College Highway extending from Northampton to New Haven passes our nurseries, making them easily reached by automobile from all directions. Visitors are always welcome.
HARDY FERNS
Hardy Ferns are being used in quantity for massed plantings, and selections can be made to suit almost any location. Many times there are corners about the house where the sun does not strike. Such places can be beautified by the use of Hardy Ferns. There are a few varieties of hardy native Ferns which will thrive in the open sun, yet, for the most part, they will give much better results when planted in a shady location. The Ferns we offer, being native, require a period of rest and consequently are not suitable for house culture in the winter.
Soils. Some of the larger-growing Ferns can be grown with extremely good results in ordinary garden soil in a shady location, yet, if we intend to imitate Nature, it will be necessary to furnish, for many of our Ferns, better conditions than are found in the ordinary garden. In planting Ferns it is well to prepare the soil by making it very fine, then adding, if practicable, leaf-mold so as to make the soil very light and porous. If the planter does not have at his disposal a sloping piece of ground and is anxious to have Ferns in his garden, it will be well to raise the bed 2 to 3 inches in which they are planted. This will tend to produce the drainage conditions necessary.
In planting the small rock Ferns, almost pure leaf-mold or peat should be used. This class of Ferns is, as a rule, found growing in such soils and while they can be made to struggle along and in some cases give fairly good results in ordinary garden soil, they will do much better if furnished the conditions as above described.
Uses. Our Hardy Ferns, being so varied in their characteristics, can be adapt¬ ed to a wide variety of purposes. All of them can be used as specimens in the Hardy Fern collection; many can be used for edging walks in a shaded rock- garden; while others are best suited for massed plantings.
Time to plant. Hardy Ferns can be planted in either the spring or fall. If they are planted late in the autumn it is well to give them a mulch of leaves. This gives them protection from freezing and thawing and it also tends to retain the moisture in the soil until the new rootlets have started to grow.
How deep to plant. Doubtless many amateurs are not successful in growing Ferns, due to the fact that they place them too deep in the ground. Those varieties, such as the Christmas Fern or Evergreen Wood Fern, which grow from a crown should not be planted below the surface; the crown should be left exposed to the air. In case Ferns grow from underground root-stalks, such as the Beech Fern, they should be planted just below the surface with not more than half an inch of earth to cover them. Too deep planting proves fatal, especially where a long, wet sea¬ son follows the planting which causes the crowns or buds to rot.

CYPRIPEDIUM PUBESCENS
BOG PLANTS AND NATIVE ORCHIDS
CALTHA PALUSTRIS
To the group of plants which can be conveniently classed as Bog Plants belong some of the most interesting varieties of our American flora. These require a damp situation in which the moisture must be constant yet not excessive.
Native Orchids can be successfully grown under the right conditions. The Cypripedium acaule should be planted where the soil is very light, composed chiefly of sand and where the drainage is exceptionally good and should always be planted in the shade. The Cypripedium spectabile requires boggy conditions where there is constant moisture. The Cypripedium pubescens will grow either under boggy conditions or in a rich wood soil in the shade.

Cypripedium acaule. Lady's Slipper . This is often called the Red Lady's Slipper, but the flower is rose-purple in color. The plant sends up two broadish green leaves from the base, and from between them comes a stalk about a foot high, bearing a single large, showy flower. Plant in a well-drained soil, with some leaf-mold. This does quite well in pots. |

Cypripedium pubescens. Yellow Lady's Slipper . . In this variety the petals are usually slightly twisted and are much narrower than the sepals.

Georgia.
Cypripedium spectabile. Showy Lady's Slipper .
The finest and most showy of all our Orchids. It grows about 2 feet high, bearing along the stalk several rather large, roundish leaves, and on top one or two quite large rose-purple or nearly white flowers. It is a bog- loving plant, yet does exceedingly well in a moist and partly shaded bed of peat or leaf-mold. Nothing can be more charming than masses of this plant in a cedar swamp, its natural home.

Rhododendron catawbiense, Catawba
One of the most beautiful native shrubs and the hardi¬ est of all the Rhododendrons. In June every branch is a large cluster of lV2-inch broad, rosy purple blooms. The foliage is the most handsome of any Rhododendron.
