The Beautifying of Country Homes
VIEBRECHT & SON, after a full generation’s experience in the
» beautifying of country and city homes through the refining agency
of flowers, plants and trees, offer with confidence their unequaled
collection of the essentials of arboreal and floral decoration. With
our extensive establishment at Rose Hill, New Rochelle, New York,
and with long-established foreign connections as well, we are in a position to
know and to grow the best plants and trees.
Close to New York City as we are, and with active branches in that city, we are
at the focus of the most critical demands that can be made upon a horticultural estab-
lishment. Our rapidly extending business is the best proof of our ability to meet the
utmost requirements of a discriminating clientele.
We invite those interested in the best trees and plants to look over the assort-
ment given in the following pages, and to correspond with us freely. A convenient
order form will be found at the back of this little book.

Prices. The prices contained in this Catalogue are the lowest consistent with the quality
of the stock we send out. In the case of large orders we make a substantial reduction upon
these prices, and will be pleased to submit quotations upon application. Those desiring trees
for lawn planting or for streets and drives, should in all cases specify the diameter of the trunk
of tree (caliper measurement) they desire. Our prices
are calculated according to the height, caliper, fullness,
form and variety of the stock, and unless all these points
are taken into consideration in comparing our prices
with those of other nurserymen, it prevents fair business
competition. In the matter of shrubbery, no fair com-
petition can be maintained unless prospective buyers
specify the height and fullness of the plant. If shrubs
are wanted for ornamental purposes or for immediate
effect, it is economy to buy plants illustrated by draw-

The Moving of Large Trees
For many years we have made a0specialty of this branch of the nursery business, and every year
it is growing in importance and value. By the moving of large trees as practiced by us it is possible
to create effects that were not dreamed of a short time ago, and, now that we have demonstrated its
possibilities, we have often been called
upon to convert in a short time a barren
piece of the countryside into a place
which, by the slow growth of nature,
would take at least fifty years to produce.
We pay a great deal of attention to
the growing of large stock for trans-
planting, and by careful and consistent
cultivation, combined with frequent
moving in the nursery, produce decidu-
ous and evergreen trees with great quan-
tities of fibrous roots, insuring their safe
removal at almost any time of the year,
under proper conditions.
The illustration on this page shows a
Norway Maple transplanted from our
nursery when its trunk measured eight
inches in diameter. This tree was moved
in early spring, and the photograph was
taken the following summer. In the
same picture are a number of evergreens
transplanted at the same time, producing
an effect otherwise obtainable only by-
many years of growth.
One year before the photograph repro-
duced on page 20 was taken, the prop-
erty in the picture was a bleak and barren.

of Norway Maples we supply for street

Se er AP we converted the place into a home, such
as could have been made only by the
growth of a generation of years. Thus it will be seen that it is possible to transform a wilderness into
a thing of beauty, and no one need be deterred from building a country home by reason of a lack of
trees and shrubbery in the particular place they desire to build. All the prospective buyer need do is to
supply the place, and we will furnish plans, specifications and material for its planting on any scale.
We also make a feature of transplanting trees from one part of the country to another, no matter
how large they may be. Show us the tree and we will place it anywhere you wish.
We shall be pleased to hear from those interested in the subject of transplanting large trees and
shrubbery, as with the improved machinery we have for the purpose, and our magnificent stock of
material, we are in a position to execute the largest, as well as the smallest, schemes of planting.

FEVERGREENS
Figures following the names indicate about the height of the plant at maturity
The Spruces and Firs (Abies and Picea)
We would call especial attention to our stock of evergreens.
They are not grown closely together
in the rows or block, causing them to become slim and of poor shape, but each plant is given ample
room to develop, so that the tree is as near perfect as possible.
There is much confusion among authorities as to the Abies and Picea families, and we have embraced
them both under the one general head, retaining the botanical names which we deem best.
Abies alba (White Spruce). 25 to 30 ft. A na-
tive tree of close, pyramidal growth, with blue-
gray foliage. 6 to 8 ft., $2.50 to $3.50.
A, Alcockiana (Ajanensis). 25 to3o0ft. A beau-
tiful tree, the underside of the foliage being of
silvery blue color. 2 to 3 ft., $3.50 to $5.

lovely native tree of loose, open growth, unless
it be pruned, when it makes a very dense bush.

Of all our grand native evergreen trees there is none better adapted for quick and lasting pictur-
esque effects on the lawn or in mass planting than the American Cedar. It will grow in any position
and any climate, and is particularly adapted to places where the soil is poor and the climate hot and dry.
The trees grow to good size and retain their foliage clear to the ground, and will stand any amount of
shearing and trimming when special shapes are wanted. In fact, this tree is tli most satisfactory ever-
green tree that can be grown, and we make a specialty of furnishing them from 12 to 20 feet in height
for immediate effect. We have a particularly fine lot of these trees growing in our nursery, and would
suggest to prospective buyers to visit us and make their own selection of stock. We can supply these
trees in any quantity for $4.75 to $12.50 each, according to size.
In comparing our prices with those of other nurserymen, the height, diameter, fullness, quality
and vigor of stock should be considered. When that is done our prices will be found to be among
the lowest.

HEDGE OF PINUS CORSICA AT NEW YORK RESIDENCE OF J. PIERPONT MORGAN
HEDGE PLANTS
In planting hedges, care should be taken to secure a quantity of good top-soil with which to fill
in about the roots of the plants. This is especially the case when evergreens are used, as they require
a great deal of nourishment to keep them healthy and of a good, rich color. Well-rotted stable
manure should also be worked in the trench with the soil. Do not cramp the roots in a small, narrow
trench; dig a good, wide one so that the roots can be spread out flat and stil! not touch the sides
‘of it. Mulch well after planting.
Ebergreens, running in size from 12 to 24 inches, can be planted about 8 to 12 inches apart in the
tows; but the larger sizes, from 2% to 3% feet, must be set about 18 inches apart. They should be
pruned when planted; it tends to make the plants more bushy, making the shaping of the hedge
an easy matter afterwards.
Deciduous Plants.—The distance these should be set apart will depend mainly upon the character
of the plants. One- and two-year-old seedlings or cuttings should be set about 6 inches apart,
though if planted in a double row they may be set 8 inches apart. Bushy transplanted stock in sizes
from 2 to 3 feet may be set 12 inches apart, or if in double rows, 15 inches apart. Larger plants
should be set according to their size.

The Japanese Maples
The Japanese Maples are so shrub-like in
growth, and many of them of such beautiful colors,
that we class them by themselves. Because of
these characters they are much used for forming
permanent beds for color in summer. In groups,
they can be planted four to six feet apart. Though
succeeding in the full sun, they prefer slight shade
at midday. The blood-leaved makes a grand
display.

The Beeches (Fagus)
Beeches have long been deemed indispensable to the landscape gardener. Their glossy foliage

DECIDUOUS SHRUBS
Figures following the name indicate about the height of the shrub at maturity
The demand for hardy deciduous shrubs is continually increasing; more people every year are
learning to appreciate the beauty and utility of this class of plants, and to meet the demand we have
been paying particular attention to their culture, so that we believe our collection is unexcelled in the
country. ‘To keep pace with the requirements of modern landscape architects, we have included many
native species of undoubted excellence, and the later introductions from Japan and elsewhere. An
annual application of old, well-rotted manure or rich compost must be dug into the soil around shrubs
to obtain favorable results, and a slight trimming of over-luxuriant branches will prove beneficial.

only—never in the summer—it does not prevent
their flowering, as is the case with nearly all other
flowering shrubs.

PALMETTE FOR FENCE PURPOSES
Trained Fruit Trees
We make a specialty of trained fruit trees, and recommend
them for certain kinds of planting. They are intended more for
ornamental work than for commercial planting, and have many
good points to recommend them to those who wish to grow fruit
upon their places without sacrificing the ornamental features of
their grounds. A famous French authority gives the following
reasons why the training of fruit trees is particularly valuable to
those who wish to combine beauty and utility in the growing of fruit for home purposes :
‘rt, It enables us to impart to trees a form suitable to the place they are intended
to occupy.
“2. Each of the principal branches of the tree is furnished with fruit branches
throughout its full extent.
3. It renders the fructification more equal; for in removing every year the super-
abundant buds and branches, we contribute to the formation of new fruit-buds for
the next year.
4. ‘It conduces to the production of large fruit and of fine quality.”

Nitida. Low-growing and upright, with
very prickly branches. Single white
flowers in early summer.
Persian Yellow. A free grower, pro-
ducing long, slender shoots, with
small, bright green foliage; flowers
medium size, double and very attractive;
blooms freely.
Rosa rubrifolia (the Red-leaved Rose).
Is little known, but deserves the
greatest popularity, both on account of
its foliage and flowers. The foliage
is reddish purple, and this foliage,
combined with a multitude of single
pink flowers, makes a unique effect.
It is of the easiest culture, and will
grow in almost any soil or situation.
Rosa rubiginosa (Eglantine, or Sweet-
brier). A handsome hardy Rose,
with bright green foliage, exhaling a
very agreeable aromatic odor. Flow-
ers are bright pink, sometimes double.
Price of this selection of Sweetbrier and
Bush Roses, 50 cts. to 75cts., according
to size.
ROSES GROWN IN POTS
For Immediate Effect
We make a specialty of growing many
of our finest varieties in pots, so that they
can be transplanted at any time during the
summer months. These are most desirable
where immediate effect is wanted. We shall be happy
to send description and prices upon application.
STANDARD, or TREE ROSES
After long and patient experimenting, we have
succeeded in overcoming the trouble of the frost
killing the stems of our Tree Roses, and now graft
on Rosa rugosa and Cinnamomea stock. We have
several thousand of these on hand. Br to $5.
HYBRID PERPETUAL VARIETIES

SELECTION OF ROSES
We will be happy to make selections of suitable
varieties for any specified purpose, either for forcing,
bedding, planting out, etc. A long experience
gives us the knowledge necessary to the proper
selection of varieties.

HARDY RHODODENDRONS
HARDY HYBRID RHODODENDRONS
It is almost impossibie to describe the glory of a flowering mass of Rhododendrons, and even when
the flowers are gone, the plants, with their multitude of rich, glossy, evergreen leaves, have a unique
beauty at all seasons of the year—in summer forming a deep, cool background for smaller plants and
flowers planted in front of them, and in winter retaining their beautiful foliage as a memory of the
summer past and a promise of the summer time to come again.
No shrub in the whole category lends itself so well to all conditions; and it is equally satisfactory
to those who are able to have but one plant, and those whose estates admit of planting in masses by
car-load lots. As a small specimen on the lawn no plant used for this purpose is more beautiful; and
planted in masses, especially when backed by the dark green foliage of conifers, they are distinctly rich
and effective.
We especially recommend Rhododendrons, either Maximum or the many hybrids of Maximum and
Catawbiense, for naturalizing in woods, where they soon make themselves at home, for the planting
along drives and for the forming of backgrounds of hardy perennial borders. Many of the beautiful
and hardy Japan lilies grow and thrive well beneath the foliage of the Rhododendron, and send up
their long spikes of handsome flowers almost immediately after the Rhododendrons have shed their
blooms. All sorts of ferns and almost all hardy perennial plants thrive finely among Rhododendrons.
One of our special features is the planting of borders, masses, etc., with Rhododendrons and hardy
herbaceous perennials, and will be pleased to submit plans, specifications and prices for this work upon
application; or to those who contemplate doing their own planting we will send estimates for Rhodo-
dendrons in large quantities, up to car-load lots.
The following list of Hardy Hybrid Rhododendrons is composed of the finest of these royal plants,
and each one is the finest specimen of its color to be obtained.

Buxus sempervirens nana
The pretty Dwarf Box is the variety so much used in old
fashioned gardens for edgings. It is one of the most useful species
of all. 3-year-old plants, 4 to 6 inches, $1 per doz., $6 per 100,
$50 per 1,000. We also offer for the same purpose, B. arbores-
cens, 6 to 8 inches, $8 per 100, $75 per 1,000. In planting
Dwarf Box edging, five or
six plants are required to
plant a foot.
This stock can be offered
at a lower price; but when
you consider the time it takes
to grow it, and that Box-
wood is the slowest-growing
of all plants, we would ad-
vise using a heavier grade, as
you get more roots, stronger
plants and immediate effect.
The advantage of buying
the heavier grade is at once
apparent, as, to produce the
desired effect, the edging must
be thick and compact.

These curious plants must be seen to be appreciated, as photo-

interesting they are, as much of their beauty depends upon their
‘nvironments. We assure any one interested in this class of stock
that a personal inspection would be of great interest and value, and
Ses the chances for mutual satisfaction are naturally much stronger than

AQUATICS
Water-gardening is one of the delightful and refreshing fads for summer time. Water-lilies and
other aquatic plants can be grown so easily that cool little ponds, tubs or spacious tanks dimpled with
their flowers are now favorite spots in all the best-planned gardens. ‘The tender sorts can be removed
to greenhouse or cellar upon the approach of winter, and, if not allowed to freeze or become dry, can
easily be wintered over. Hardy sorts will succeed well in any stream or pond, and stand the winters in
latitudes where the water does not freeze to the bottom of the pond.
We are well prepared to supply fine stock of these beautiful plants, and can give larger and stronger
plants, true to name, for less money than any other firm. Special attention is asked for our stock of
the finest nelumbium in the world—N. album grandiflorum—and to our remarkably low price for it.
