EXPERIENCED planters practically all
agree that Early Autumn is the best
season of the year for planting Ever-
greens, Hardy Herbaceous plants, Straw-
berries (pots) , etc., also all kinds of Hardy
Shrubs and Trees, Roses, Berry Plants, etc.
There are but few exceptions to this rule.
Planting at this season provides ample time
for the roots to re-establish themselves
while the ground is still warm. Early
Autumn planted stock starts out with a vig-
or which spring planted stock seldom
atttains. Let us send you our Catalog, or
better visit our Nursery and select your
stock personally and in ample time to take
advantage of the Early Autumn planting
season.

Our stock of Evergreens is not only ex-
tensive, but contains rare varieties and
beautiful specimens, many of large sizes for
immediate effects. We recommend trans-
planting Evergreens with balls of earth in
most instances. If planted with reasonable
care, practically no loss will occur if our
stock is used, as it is frequently root pruned
in the nursery and otherwise kept in perfect
condition for transplanting.

Prices of Evergreens . We know that our
prices compare favorably with other’s
prices for stock equally as good. You can
purchase of us the small sizes and easily
grown varieties for a few cents each and up,
while some of our old and rare specimens
are worth much more. In other words, we
are prepared to supply the cheap popular
kinds of Evergreens for window boxes,
hedges and group plantings, also the rare
ones. A visit to our Nursery is advised
where practical, otherwise we can make
careful selections for you. Our Catalog
gives sizes and prices.

We grow in immense quantities all the
desirable varieties of Shade and Ornament-
al Trees, Shrubs, Vines, Roses, etc., for
street and park planting, and the creating
of permanent Landscape effects, also Fruit
Trees, Berry Plants, etc. The same care is
given this stock that makes our Evergreens
so favorably known.

Hardy Herbaceous Plants

The experienced garden lover soon learns
to depend largely on the Hardy garden
flowers. They not only have their own per-
sonal charm, but continue, many of them
for years without replacing, furnishing
ever welcome flowers from the very earliest
Snowdrops, continuously throughout the
season, ending with the Chrysanthemums
when the snow often hangs heavy on their
branches. The Paeonia, Phlox, Larkspur,
Campanula, Hollyhock, Columbine, Lily,
etc., belongs to this class. Our assortment
is complete, and the stock we offer is strong
field-grown or in pots from out-of-doors
frames, so that immediate results can be
expected. Early Autumn planted plants of
this class bloom with a luxuriant profusion
the following season, superior in every way
to spring plantings. Our Catalog lists a
splendid assortment and at popular prices.

Roses

The permanent hardy garden kinds.
Strong field grown hardy Roses planted in
the Early Autumn not only live, but will
bloom with fully twice the freedom the fol-
lowing spring as compared with spring
planted roses. Prepare the Rose garden
right away, and get the Roses planted early.
Consult our catalog for varieties and popu-
lar prices.

Strawberries (Pot Grown )

To be assured of a full crop of Strawber-
ries the following season is enough to war-
rant planting potted plants at this season.
The plants are but $3.50 per 100, $30.00 per
1,000, in ten of the leading kinds. Inquire
for list. Also Americus ( everbearing ) at 75
cents per 10; $8.00 per 100.

The practical and artistic character of
our Landscape work and the service we
render through this department is being
more appreciated each succeeding season.
Very few who desire to create beautiful
landscape surroundings to their homes, or
develop other Landscape problems, either
large or small, have had the necessary
experience to plan out the work to the best
advantage. Many years of practical experi-
ence with the principals of Landscape work,
familiarity with soils and climatic condi-
tions, special plants for special places and
exposures, render our advice and services
of greatest value to those seeking informa-
tion.

Cost of Our Landscape Service

and make office sketch plans, etc., without
charge , and otherwise render assistance.
When we arrange to make special visits,
work up plans, reports and specifications
requiring time and attention, special study
of individual problems, etc., we make a
charge consistent with the services ren-
dered. We will gladly take up this more in
detail with anyone interested by special
appointment or correspondence.
