All Orders for Spring delivery, accompanied by the full amount in cash and received after the mailing of

our Spring catalog and before MARCH FIRST are subject to a 10% Discount. After March Ist no dis-

Please read carefully before ordering

TRANSPORTATION. We do not pay transportation

charges. We ship either by parcel post, express or freight,
in the manner which will be most economical for you con-
sistent with the nature of the material you have ordered.
In the case of parcel post, our practice is to ship C. O. D.
for the amount of the postage. The size of the package
we can send in this manner is limited by Government
regulations. Fruit Trees, Evergreens, Large Shrubs and
Shade Trees have to be shipped by freight or by express.
We find, occasionally, a customer who objects to the
C. O. D. feature concerned with shipments by mail.
Where this feeling exists we should be advised at the time
the order is placed.

CLAIMS. Our responsibility ceases when your order has

been received by you in good condition. Technically it
ceases when your goods have been delivered to the carrier
in good condition. If any stock is received by you and
found to be unsatisfactory through any fault of ours this
fact should be brought to our immediate attention. We
must insist that this be done within five days after receipt.
Should you receive a shipment in bad order, the result
of its transportation, be sure to bring this to the attention
of the Carrier’s agent and to secure the bad order receipt
with which to substantiate the claim you will make.

Let Us Hel

Our many years of experience in selecting and planting

trees and flowers in this part of the country are completely

work.

CARE OF STOCK. When stock is received, plant imme-
diately. When this is impossible, dig a trench and bury
the roots with earth until planting time. Fruit trees and
dormant shrubs may be left in ordinary cellar storage for
a few days, if the roots are kept moist. Never wet the

tops of strawberry plants. It rots the crowns.

RATES. Where dozen rates are quoted, six or more plants
of the one variety and size will take the dozen rate. In
the same way five or more plants of one variety and size
will take the ten rate where one is quoted. Fifty or more
plants of one kind and size will be figured at the 100 rate

where one is quoted.

GUARANTEED. All stock is guaranteed true to name
and free from disease. Certificate of inspection accom-

panies each shipment.

CANADIAN CUSTOMERS. To avoid delay in ship-
ping your order, write to Secretary of Destructive Insect
and Pest Act Advisory Board, Department of Agriculture,
Ottawa, for permit to import and give your permit number

RED RASPBERRIES

RASPBERRY PLANTS

Not only are Raspberries one of the most delicious of
all fruits for home use, but they are also one of the safest
to plant commercially. In our twenty years of growing

Raspberries there has never been a time but what all we

produced could be sold.

Plant on good, well-drained soil, on a slope, if possible,
and cultivate freely. Fertilize with chemicals and wood
ashes rather than manure. Of the red varieties about 2,400
to 3,000 plants per acre are required, planted two and one-
half to three feet apart in rows six feet apart. The black
and purple varieties, planted three feet apart in rows seven
feet apart, take about 2,000 plants per acre.
COLUMBIAN (Purple). This is the standard purple

raspberry. Makes no sucker plants but roots from the

tips. With good conditions extremely heavy yields are
obtained. Splendid for canning. $1.00 per 12, $1.75

per 25, $5.00 per 100, $35.00 per 1,000.

LATHAM (Red). The leading commercial variety of the
country. Erect canes, very hardy, a heavy yielder, a
good shipper. Fair quality. 75c per 12, $1.50 per 25,
$4.50 per 100, $35.00 per 1,000.

NEWBURGH (Red). This has proven itself to be one
of the heaviest yielding and the hardiest of all raspber-
ries. Newburgh bears very heavy crops of immense berries,
ripening in mid- -season. Fruit is of good quality and
very firm, making it a shipping raspberry. Very re-
sistant to disease. The canes are medium height. $1.50
per 25, $5.00 per 100, $35.00 per 1,000.

PLUM FARMER (Black). One of the finest black-cap
raspberries ripening early in the season. Tip-plants 75c
per 12, $1.50 per 25, $5.00 per 100, $35.00 per 1,000.

TAYLOR. A new and extremely delicious raspberry of
highest quality. Huge berries throughout the season.
Earlier than Latham. 75c per 12, $1.50 per 25, $4.50
per 100, $35.00 per 1,000.

Avoid frosty locations,
although Snyder has withstood 35

below and borne

crops.
SNYDER. A safe variety to plant for home or market.
Upright grower. Fruit large and of good quality if
allowed to ripen fully on the bushes. $1.50 per 25,

$4.00 per 100, $30.00 per 1,000.

STRAWBERRY PLANTS

A good bed of strawberries will reduce the living expenses
tremendously. They should be planted on rich soil that
has been plowed a year previous. Do not fertilize with
wood ashes or any material containing lime. Most varieties
are planted eighteen inches apart in rows four feet apart.

Everbearing kinds produce more berries if planted in hills
and not allowed to make plants.

HOWARD 17. The old standby,
any other kind of strawberry.
and is quite drouth resistant.

POTGROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS

Many people think that best results are obtained by
planting potgrown Strawberry plants in August and Septem-
ber, as these plants will bear a fairly good crop the follow-
ing season. We will have available for delivery in August
and September, 1941, potgrown plants of leading varieties.

Price: $1.00 per 12, $1.75 per 25, $5.00 per 100, $45.00

is a patented variety, originating here at the
nurseries. The purchase of plants entitles you to grow
as many as you wish for your own planting. Before
growing plants to sell or otherwise dispose of, arrange-
ments must be made with us.

Finest of the FALL BEARING

we have ever grown.

STRAWBERRIES

The plants are extremely vigorous and exceptionally free
from disease.

The fruit is large, firm, very bright in color and of
superior quality. A splendid berry for the market or
for home consumption. In the production of both plants
and berries we have found it superior to Mastodon or to

any other everbearing strawberry we have grown.

Excellent reports of GREEN MOUNTAIN have been
had from other sections of the country. Evidently
GREEN MOUNTAIN prefers a heavy soil to one which
is light and sandy. The Summer season is late. This last
Summer we picked berries fully ten days after the last of
the Howard 17 were gone. The Fall crop is also late,
averaging from September 20th to November Ist. The
largest crop is borne the second Fall.

For a bumper FALL CROP keep the blossoms picked
until August Ist. After harvesting two Fall crops it is
our custom to let the plants produce a Summer crop the
third season.

NORTHERN CANOE BIRCH

Northern New England is long remem-
bered for the gleaming white trunks of the
paper birches. Backed by emerald masses
of hemlock and fringing the maple groves as
they clamber up and down over the hills,
they suggest to us the many places on our
own grounds where they would make a lovely
picture. Plant them in the wild garden or
against dark evergreens. Plant them along
a tiny stream or by a pool where their white
trunks will be reflected in the water; or, if
you have a dull fence corner, plant a clump
of three-trunk birches and transform it
straight-away into a garden.

For sizes and prices see “Shade Trees.”
WHITE BIRCH

AMERICAN HEMLOCK

The most graceful and beautiful of Northern evergreens. HEMLOCK

Plant them in masses with white birch and shadblow as a background for your
evergreen planting or wild garden. They are beautiful, too, in the winter garden,
laden with snow and hung with tiny nutbrown cones.

Hemlock makes the most beautiful and enduring of evergreen hedges. It may be
clipped to any height from three feet to ten feet and makes a solid impenetrable wall
of green.

For sizes and prices see ““Evergreens.”

SUGAR MAPLE

The ideal shade tree. In planting sugar maple you plant for the future as well as
the present, since these trees grow more beautiful each year for generations. Gorgeous
orange and yellow Autumn coloring. Ideally suited for planting along country lanes
and driveways or to shade old-fashioned Colonial or Cape Cod houses. Medium
fast growing.

For sizes and prices see “Shade Trees.”
