[HE TREES, SHRUBS and HARDY PLANTS which are briefly de-
scribed in the following pages, and which are now growing on
our grounds; as also those we expedf to grow from year to year,
will be sold mainly to owners of homes in the Southern States.
Sooner or later, and from time to time, you, as one of that num-
ber, in whose hands this book is placed, will be needing
some of these things. The fact that they cost so little and add so
much to the beauty and to the money value of your property no
longer needs argument. Everything we offer for sale has been
grown out doors, on our own grounds, near Atlanta, and, there-
fore, acclimated to this section. C]J They have been selected,
planted and cultivated carefully. The sole purpose has been to make them as
good as can be grown. We dig and pack them carefully. In these things we do
not spare expense. We know that a Tree or Shrub which you place on your
lawn is of no value to you unless it shall not only live, but thrive. <jl Plants
thus managed co^t us more than such as are frequently offered through agents,
and otherwise, and we must therefore charge more for them. But this addi-
tional co^t, or even all the original cost of a Tree or Shrub which should last
a lifetime, bears a very small proportion to its value to you when it is growing
and thriving on your lawn. :::::::
We do not employ agents, but sell what we grow diredtly to the people who use it. Whenever
you may need anything grown in this book, we shall be much pleased to hear from you. We
will try to make it easy, pleasant and profitable for you to deal with us, now. and for many
vears to come. Any Plant not in our stock, we will, upon request, endeavor to get for you.

SHADE AND ORNAMENTAL TREES.
The sentiment connected with the planting of trees has been a theme of poets
and philosophers in all the ages. It is indeed an attractive thought, that so little
a thing as the planting of a few young trees (time and nature doing the rest) will
add so much to the money value of your home; add to it also a touch of your own
personality, and leave so many living monuments of beauty, shade and blossom to
the memory of your forethought and culture.
Any one who has made the test, knows the advantage, and the real economy
of planting nursery-grown trees, rather than those taken from the forest. It is
largely chance if the latter give satisfaction, whereas those taken from a nursery
with a good system of roots, are almost sure not only to live but thrive.
THE ALDER.
Alnus (30 to 35 feet). The long
drooping catkins on these trees are an
attractive feature. Besides they have
beauty of form and foliage which makes
them desirable as a lawn tree, and quite
ornamental. They grow rapidly and are
hardy.
THE ASH.
ARALIA.
Aralia spinosa. This attractive
small tree grows 12 to 15 ft. high
from a clump of stout stems at the
ground, spreading out gracefully to
12 ft. wide, at the top. The beau-
tiful form and foliage are enhanced
by panicles of white flowers which
are followed by purple berries in
autumn. It is very ornamental.
BEECH.
Aralia Spinoza.
Flowering Ash (F. Ornus) (20
to 25 ft.). The fluffy plumes of
white flowers borne by this variety
are beautiful. It is truly a hand-
some tree and should be numbered
in any collection.
American Beech (Fagus ferru-
ginea) (40 to 50 ft.). A handsome
spreading tree and hardy as a rock.
Useful for lawn and landscape
work.
Fraxinus (40 to 50 feet). A tree
of beautiful rounded outline, with large
green leaves which remain well into the
fall, rapid and thrifty growth. A superb
tree for either street or lawn.
Umbrella China.

ASHFORD PARK NURSERIES, ATLANTA, GA.
Ash-leaf Maple in Nursery Rows.
BIRCH.
White Birch (Betula Alba) (35 to 40
ft.). Of rapid growth, its graceful form
and foliage and beautiful white bark
make it a distinct and handsome tree
wherever placed.
THE CATALPAS.
Catalpa (Catalpa Bungei) (5 to 10 ft.).
This is a very attractive round-headed
tree, quite similar in form to the Stand-
ard Bay tree, but the foliage is more
tropical in appearance. Very handsome
where formal effects are desired. They
are hardy everywhere, and a driveway
lined with them on either side is a thing
of beauty.
Western Catalpa (C. Speciosa) (30 to
40 ft.). The large leaves make it a valu-
able specimen on the lawn.
Japanese Catalpa (C. Kaemoferi)
(25 to 30 ft.). The foliage differs
somewhat from the others, produces
yellowish white flowers in mid-June.
It is noted for its long, slender seed
pods which give it quite an odd ap-
pearance.
CHINESE CEDRELA.
(Cedrela Sinensis) (40 to 50 ft.). The
fine outline and feathery foliage, with
thrifty rapid growth make this an ex-
cellent tree for lawn or avenue. An-
other attractive feature is its long
racemes of white flowers which ap-
pear in early summer.
THE CHESTNUTS.
American Chestnut (Castanea den-
tata). A large and beautiful tree with
stout spreading branches. Nuts sweet-
er than those of any other variety.
An excellent shade tree.

(25 to 30 ft.). A small tree with a
dense oval crown. Native of Japan,
leaves glossy green. Fruit very large,
individual nuts over an inch wide.
Begins to bear fruit when 3 to 4
years old. It makes a beautiful tree
for the lawn.
Spanish Chestnut (C. Sativa) (15
to 20 ft.). A vigorous growing tree
with a broad, round head. Flowers
showy, nuts very large but inferior
in flavor to those of the American
or Japanese.
Horse Chestnut (Aesculus) (40 to
50 ft.). A large tree usually planted
for shade on streets and lawns.
Flowers white, tinged with red. Very
showy in flower, and one of the finest
lawn trees.
CHERRY.
Flowering Cherry (Cerasus Avium).
A beautiful and attractive early spring
blooming tree. Early in the spring it is
covered with a mass of blooms, each
flower resembling a miniature white rose.
Wild Cherry (C. Serotinea) (40 to 50
ft.). Bears racemes of white flowers
in May, one of our native trees, which
should be in every collection.
Spanish Chestnut.

THE CHINA TREES.
Cut Leaf China Tree (Melia Aze-
darach Lasciniata). A new variety, the
tree is of medium size, leaves beautifully
cut. The blooms are a light lilac and

tinct and valuable.
Umbrella China (M. Azederach umbra-
culiformis). A distinct form of the
China tree with a dense spreading um-
brella-like head. Very formal and sym-

ommend this superb tree for bordering a
roadway or walk. Good in any situation.
Kentucky Coffee Tree (Gymno-
cladus Canadensis) (40 to 50 ft.).
Develops into a large well-shaped
tree. In early June it bears green-
ish white flowers. Largely used as
shade tree, and has decided merit.
White Flowering Dogwood (Cor-
nus Florida) (20 to 25 ft.). This
is a gem among our native trees.
The veil of white blossoms come
in April, then the bright, green
leaves during the summer, followed
in autumn by the Scarlet Berries
and brilliant foliage.
Red Flowering Dogwood (C. Ru-
bra) (20 to 25 ft.). A rare and
beautiful tree, and when planted in
contrast with the white flowering
kinds, they make a picture of entrancing
lovliness. The flowers are bright pink,
and the tree has all the good features
of the other sorts including the bright
berries. The large red flowers make
this tree unique. A rare and charming
novelty.
Siberian Dogwood (C. Siberica) (6 to
8 ft.). A small tree or shrub with bright
blood red branches, which are a beautiful
feature in winter and early spring. Flow-
ers creamy white. Very attractive.
Weeping Dogwood (C. Pendula) (15
to 20 ft.). This graceful tree has the
same lovely white flowers, scarlet ber-
ries, and crimson foliage as the others,
and in addition the attractive pendulous
branches.
THE ELM.
American Elm (Ulmus Americana).
There is no finer tree for lawns, parks,
public grounds, and avenues. It is grace-
ful and beautiful to a wonderful degree
and quite untroubled by the beetles that
molest the small leaf kinds. It has large
leaves; grows rapidly and is thrifty even
on a city street. (50 to 60 ft.).
English Elm (Ulmus campestris). A
beautiful species of the Elm (40 to 50
ft.). It has a fine outline and handsome
foliage. This also is a better species
than the Elms in general use in this
section. There are few better shade
trees for avenue or lawn.

ly planted as a nornamental. An
excellent tree.
THE MAPLES.
Silver Maple (Acer Dasycar
pum). One of the best and most
desirable rapid growing shade
trees, attains a height of 50 to 60
ft. These trees should not be con-
fused with the Silver Poplar, which
throws up shoots from the roots.
This does not.
Ash-Leaf Maple (A. Negundo).
A rapid growing tree with foliage
resembling the Ash. Very hardy;
desirable street tree. (50 to 70 ft.).
Among the best.

bushy specimen, and in the autumn the
foliage takes on beautiful fall colors.
Sycamore Maple (A. Pseudo-Platanus)
(40 to 50 ft.). A fast growing variety
developing into a beautiful tree. Dark
green foliage. Very fine.
Japanese Maples. These represent Na-
ture’s supreme effort in presenting varied
and vivid beauty of form and color in
hardy trees. They are little trees whose
beauty lies in their diminutive form, and
the delicate shape and brilliant color of
their leaves.
We have beautiful examples of the bet-
ter sorts. Some do not thrive here.
MIMOSA TREE.
Mimosa Tree (Acacia nemu) (20 to
25 ft.). This remarkably beautiful tree
is everywhere associated with Southern
lawns and gardens. The beautiful and
graceful pose of its branches covered
with feathery foliage, and all capped by
the exquisite yellowish pink flowers,
make a distinct and enchanting picture.
It is thrifty and hardy in the South and
no lawn or garden here is complete with-
out them.
THE MULBERRY.
Russian Mulberry (Morus Alba Tartar-
ica) (20 to 25 ft.). A rapid growing tree
with pretty foliage, valuable for shade
in lawn or city streets.
Teas’ Weeping Mulberry (Morus pen-

Japan Maple.
THE MAGNOLIAS.
Magnolia (Grandiflora). This is the
grandest of all our native broad-leaved
evergreen trees. It is a native of the
middle sections of the Southern States.
Nothing more conspicious can be seen
among Evergreens, when its large white
flowers are fully expanded. A driveway
lined on either side by these magnificent
trees makes a picture not easy to forget.
Cucumber Magnolia (Magnolia acumi-
nata) (40 to 50 ft.). A decidedly valua-
ble shade and street tree. The leaves
are immense and beautiful.
Umbrella Magnolia (M. Tripetala) (30
to 40 ft.). The large handsome foliage
and pretty habit of growth make this a
highly valuable tree for lawns.
Soulange Magnolia (M. Soulangeana).
A grand variety, the purple markings on
the flowers is very beautiful. It is a
strong grower and is a handsome small
tree, blooming in April.
Lenne Magnolia (M. Lennei). This
beautiful tree blooms in May and fre-
quently again in late summer. Its flow-
ers are dark rose without and pearly

is pronounced and delicate. Blooms ear-
lier than anv other Magnolia.
NETTLE TREE.
Celtis Sinensis). A small tree (25 ft.)
native of China; bright glossy leaves;
rapid grower; beautiful form. A spec-
ially good tree for any situation.
THE OAKS.
Quercus. These thrifty long-lived
trees represent nature’s best in majes-
ty, dignity and grace, among growing
things. No lawn or landscape is com-
plete without them. Oaks thrive under
almost any condition, even holding
their own on a city sidewalk. Of un-
certain growth if taken from the for-
est, they are almost certain to live
when transplanted from the nursery.
It is a common error that Oaks are
slow growing. In fact, very few trees
are more rapid. Below is the excellent
assortment we grow.
Water Oak (Quercus Aquatica). Un-
iversally planted as a shade tree m the
South, and one of the best. It has a
symmetrical ' round crown, and in the
course of years, its graceful, spreading
branches cover an immense area.
Pin Oak (Q. Palustris) (40 to 50 ft.).
A grand tree and one of the finest oaks.
Pyrimidal and shapely in form finely
divided foliage with beautiful fall color-
ing. Valuable for street or lawn.

jestic tree with a broad round crown. One
of the finest oaks for lawn or landscape.

An exceedingly ornamental tree of com-
pact habit. The young leaves are crim-
son, changing to dark purple and retain-
ing this hue throughout the summer.
This tree is a beauty, a large lawn is in-
complete without a number of them dis-
tributed among the green trees.
THE POPLAR.
Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron Tuipifera).
A magnificent rapid growing tree of py-
pyramidal shape, foliage broad and glos-
sy, flowers yellowish green, tulip shape.
Valuable as an ornamental tree for street
and lawn planting. This is really the
best of the poplars.
PECAN.
Chestnut Oak (Q. Prinus) (40 to 50
ft.). The leaves are similar to the Amer-
ican Chestnut. It makes a grand lawn

native Live Oak of the South. A very
beautiful tree.

Perhaps the most popular of the rapid
growing trees for avenues and streets.
It rarely produces suckers from the
roots, and is a healthy, hardy tree with
ample foliage. Of upright growth.
Lombardy Poplar (P. nigra). A well-
known Italian variety. An upright, rapid
grower. Valuable for formal work in
connection with buildings or gardens and
an excellent avenue or lawn tree. In the
American Aborvitae.
latter case, its tall form tends to break
and relieve the rounded outlines of other
trees. A fine tree. It should not be
overlooked.
Balsam Poplar (P. balsamifera). Of
strong rapid growth, with large leaves.
Is much in demand. The young buds
have a pungent and very agreeable odor.
We like this better than the Carolina
Poplar.
Blue Spruce.
This tree is so largely planted
for the nuts, that its merits for shade
and ornament have been overlooked. Its
growth is sure and reasonably rapid. We
have many in our lawn and they are
much admired.

delight.
RAIN TREE.
Koelreuteria. A most beautiful orna-
mental shade tree from China. Destined
to become a favoriate for the lawn and
park. We recommend this highly. (25
to 50 ft.).
SWEET GUM. (Liquidamber).
(30 to 40 ft.). One of our handsom-
est native trees, of upright and sym-
matrical growth. Especially showy in
autumn, when the leaves change from
green to either yellow or deep purple.
For lawn or yard this tree has many
good points. It has few superiors.
THE SYCAMORE.
Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) (50
to 60 ft.). A large native tree which
grows to majestic size and is conspicious
in winter with its white bark.
Oriental Sycamore (P. orientalis) (40
to 50 ft.). Similar to preceeding but a
cleaner tree and a better in many ways.
It is popular in all landscape work and
especially suited for street trees in city
and suburbs.
SALISBURIA.
Gingko (30 to 40 ft.). A valuable
ornamental tree and useful for street
and avenue planting. If pruned when
young it makes a round compact-
headed tree. It thrives well on sidewalks
and is free from insects and diseases.
Native of Japan.
SOPHORA.
Sophora Japonica (25 to 30 ft.). A
most desirable tree of medium size, bear-
ing panicles of yellowish white flowers
in early August. Unique and beautiful.

some tree is an acquisition. Its leaves
are large, four to six inches in diame-
ter; and beautiful white flowers, in race-
mes, are borne in May.
Japanese Storax (Styrax Japonica) (8
to 10 ft.). A very valuable large shrub,
producing clusters of pure white flowers
in May. A pretty small tree, which will
fit well into many situations.
SORRELL TREE.
Andromeda arborea (20 to 25 ft.). . A
very valuable medium-sized tree bearing
racemes of white flowers in July. In
autumn the foliage changes to brilliant
crimson. A beautiful tree for massing
or as a single specimen.
VARNISH TREE.
Koelreuteria paniculata (20 to 25 ft.).
An exceedingly ornamental tree, native
of China. It forms a flat spreading head;
has large leaves and early in July pro-
duces immense panicles of orange yellow
flowers. Nobody will be disappointed in
planting this tree in lawn or yard. It is
novel and attractive.
The blossoms of the Flowering Crab
are exquisite, and the tree itself with its
foliage and fruit is very attractive.
ASHFORD PARK NURSERIES, ATLANTA, GA.
11
The star shaped blossoms of
Hall’s Magnolia make the whole
bush look like a huge Snow Ball.
THE WALNUT.
Japan Walnut (Juglans Cordi-
formis). Particularly successful in
the Southern States. The tree is
very handsome; has a large spread-
ing top. It makes a useful as well
as very ornamental tree. At three
years of age the tree commences to
bear. The nuts are an excellent fea-
ture. The shells are moderately
thick, but the kernels are very sweet.
When it becomes known, it will be
as popular as the Pecan.
Walnut (Black) (Juglans Nigra).
A native tree valuable for its nuts,
and wood. Grass and shrubs grow
well under its shade, although this
is quite dense.
Walnut (English) (Juglans Regia).
A beautiful tree producing excellent
nuts. However, it does not seem to
bear well in this latitude.
THE WILLOW.
Weeping Willow (Salix Babylonica). A
large tree with slender pendent branches.
Leaves narrow, tapering to a long point, bright
green. A very picturesque tree, universally
known and cultivated for centuries in the old
world; is a distinct and beautiful addition to
any lawn.
Golden Weeping Willow (S. aurea Pen-
dula). The bark is of a bright golden color,
otherwise similar to above.
White Fringe.
FLOWERING TREES.
As will be noted in the foregoing descriptions, many of the above trees have
a flowering feature which adds much to their value. Yet there are some which
have such a wealth of blossoms in the early spring as to merit special attention.
Of course the Red and White Dogwoods come first, but then there come as close
seconds, the following:
Flowering Crab, several varieties.
Flowering Almond, white and pink.
Flowering Peach, white and pink.
Flowering Cherry, several varieties.
Flowering Apricot.
Flowering Ash.
All these, while the blossoms last, have a mystic beauty that is charming. After
this brilliant but brief season of bloom is past, the form and verdure of the trees is
a distinct ornament in any situation.
12 ASHFORD PARK NURSERIES, ATLANTA, GA.
CONIFEROUS EVERGREENS.
This charming class of trees has features which make them peculiarly suited
for ornamental purposes, and no lawn is quite complete without a fair proportion
of them distributed among the other trees and shrubs. Some of them are delight-
ful also in Vases and Tubs distributed in and around the house. They can be
transplanted from these safely at any time. But from open ground it is not safe
when the sap is active. The general rules for transplanting apply to them as to
other trees and shrubs. Any breaking of the bark on them is more injurious. We
have a fine assortment and take much pride in keeping them up to a high standard
of excellence.
THE ARBORVITAE.
American Arborviate (Thuya occidentalis). This well-known tree is entirely
hardy in all situations and not particular in regard to soils. It forms a dense tree
from 25 to 50 ft. high. Both this species and the
several varieties following are used in tubs,
vases or jardinieres for
winter decoration of
porches, vestibules, etc.
Pyramidal Arborvi-
tae (T. Pyramidalis).
Similar to American
Arborvitae but more
dense in habit and fin-
er in texture. It is of
the same columnar hab-
it that adapts it to for-
mal planting and suits
it for lawn specimens
and evergreen groups.
Compact Arborvitae
(T. Occidentalis com-
pacta). Dwarf, dense
little evergreen having
light green foliage and
neat attractive habit.
Popular for house dec-
oration or small low-
growing hedges, giving
a pleasing formal ef-
fect. Very fine for vas-
es and tubs.
Chinese Arborvitae
(T. Orientalis) (12 to
18 ftt.). Bushy and up-
right in growth. Very
attractive foliage ar- Compact Arborvitae.

Dwarf, round form of Arbor-vitae, just the
plant for formal effects in yard of garden.
BIOTA.

dwarf and compact habit. A gem for small
gardens, lawns or vases. It far surpasses the
old Biota Aurea where a dwarf tree is desired.
Biota Rosedale. A variety with foliage very
fine, light green in summer, assuming a pur-
plish hue in winter. Very beautiful compact
plants.
BALSAM FIR.
Abies Frazerii. Of erect pyramidal growth,
foliage dark shining green. Grows into a
large tree.
THE CEDAR.

tractive because of the brightness, delicacy and varie-
ty in its foliage tints. The plume-like and other
forms being very distinct and rich in effect. They
are beautiful, grouping either alone or with other
evergreens or as specimens on even the smallest
lawns, and for decoration, in tubs and pots. Occa-
sional shearings render them more compact, and
brighten their color.
Plume-Like Cypress (Retinospora plumosa). One
of the best known and most widely planted of the
species, foliage light green, glaucous beneath. Stands
shearing well, and is a beauty in any situation.
Golden Plume-Like Cypress (R. Aurea). One of
the most striking and desirable little evergreens for
our climate. Its terminal shoots and young foliage a
bright golden yellow. Very distinct, hardy and at-
tractive.
Pea Fruited Cypress (R. Pisifera) (15 to 20 ft.).
Grows to a large size and makes a nice tree of pyra-
midal outline. It is beautifully gold tinted. A great
favorite.
Dwarf Cypress (R. Obtusa). A beautiful dwarf
form of the Japan Cypress (3 to 5 ft.). Foliage dark
green, compact. Choice and popular.
Silver Cypress (R. Squarrosa) (15 to 20 ft.). This
charming variety has steel colored foliage and makes
a tufty compact growth. It grows to a large size, but
by pruning can be kept down to almost any size, as
in fact can all Retinisporas.
Lawson’s Cypress (Cupressus Lawsoniana).
Drooping branches, soft dark green foliage. Splen-
did for Southern use.
Japan Cypress. This group
Lawson Cypress.

Red Juniper (J. Virginiana). Of med-
ium size and pryamidal habit, that suit
it for lawn specimens and formal use.
The somber hue of its foliage and the
freedom with which it grows, in unfer-
tile places are valuable qualities.
THE PINES.

This beautiful Formal Garden shows the many uses to which Boxwood is so well adapted
BROAD LEAVED EVERGREENS.
These are valuable in lending to the prevailing brown of the winter landscape;
touch of green here and there in lawn, yard, or garden. In planning for year
’round effects, they should not be overlooked.
The South is blessed with a wealth of this class
of trees and shrubs. Many of them are specially
well suited for vases and tubs, anywhere about
the house or lawn. For this purpose we have
them already planted, some in handsome
vases. We supply along with the vases
and tubs, or without, as may be preferred.
From these they can be transplanted to
open ground at any time during the sum-
mer, without being defoliated.
Even in fall when evergreens are
shipped or transplanted from
open ground, it is safest to take
nearly all their leaves off.
ABELIA.
Abelia grandiflora. This is
one of the most charming of
evergreen shrubs. The leaves
are dark glossy green on grace-
ful arching branches, and these
covered from early summer un-
til autumn with clusters of white
flowers tinged with pink.
THE AZALIA.
Azalea (Azalea amoena) (4 to
5 ft.). This is a charming ever-
green bearing beautiful claret
colored blossoms in profusion in
early June. Excellent as a low
hedge or for planting in a bed,
or as single specimens.

ASHFORD PARK NURSERIES, ATLANTA, GA.
THE BOX.
Tree Box (Buxus sempiverens). This
large shrub or small tree by slow growth
finally attains a height of 12 ft. The
small glossy leaves and compact manner
of growth adapt it to lining a walk or for
single specimens on lawn. Like all the
Box, it can be sheared to any shape.
Dwarf Box (B. Suffruticosa). A com-
pact shrub with evergreen foliage, exten-
sively used for low hedges. The low Box
borders of many gardens, especially the
oldtime gardens, lend a sense of dignity
and beauty that is difficult to surpass.
The remarkably fine effect of Box hedges
in Washington’s garden at Mount Ver-
non is known to thousands. This plant
is a favorite with us.
Box (Globe Form). The full round
specimen Box is in every way desirable
for placing in tubs or in planting in for-
mal positions.
Box (Pyramidal Form). In our large
assortment of these beautiful specimen
plants may be found as pretty as can be
obtained anywhere.

quite useful for placing in formal posi-
tions, or in Vases and Tubs for the
adornment of various places around the
house and lawn. We furnish them with
or without the Vases and Tubs. They can
be transplanted during any month in the
year. The architectural requirements of
the present make formal plants necessary
and no other lends itself to this purpose
quite as well as the Boxwood.
not quite hardy. Zero weather, it is true,
will injure it out doors, but a little pro-
tection will avoid that. This care is am-
ply repaid by the lovely fdliage, and the
delicate yet pungent fragrance of its
wax-like flowers. Plant many on your
lawn and yard. As a house plant also it
is excellent.
CAMELIAS.
In these exquisite shrubs or small trees
we have a combination of attractions
which is rarely found elsewhere. The
shapely manner of growth, the lustrous
deep evergreen foliage, and the beautiful
wax-like flowers make a picture which
entrances the eye, and shows us how well
nature can succeed when she has a mind
to do her best. The flowers are white, all
shades of red, from pink to deepest crim-
son, besides numerous particolored or
mottled forms. This also is one of the old
flowers, very good, and lately coming
into favor.
Cedrus deodara.
CAPE JASMINE.
CAMPHOR TREE.
Camphora. A beautiful glossy ever-
green, but too delicate for outdoor serv-
ice in this climate.

charming evergreen which is very attractive
by reason of its dark green leaves and wealth
of bright scarlet berries. It is well adapted
for grouping, and makes also a beautiful
house plant.
Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia). One
of the most attractive of broad-leaved ever-
greens, both on account of its dark green and
glossy leaves and for its masses of showy
pink flowers, which appear in great profu-
sion in summer.
A single flower of the Camelias is beautiful. But a shru
or small tree full of them, with the glossy green leaves, i
nothing less than georgeous.
In the foreground are specimens of Pyr-
amid Privet. Behind them, Privet in Tree
Forms. In the rear some beautiful young
Lombardy Poplars.
EUONYMOUS.
Euonymous Japonica. A hand-
some evergreen shrub. Hardy,
thrifty, lustrous foliage, red ber-
ries. Often used for a hedge, and
a good one it makes, bears shear-
ing and is dense. The single
plants growing 12 ft. high are very
handsome. We have them also
trained into globes, pyramids and
cones, which are beautiful.
Variegated Euonymous (E. Va-
riegata). Like the green in every
way except the leaves are green
and gold in one variety, and green
and white in another. Both varie-
ties are hardy, and very attractive.
Especially the green and gold.
THE HOLLY.
Japanese Holly (Ilex crenata).
A thickly branched evergreen
shrub or small tree. Leaves in
size and shape similar to the Box-
wood. Berries black. Excellent for

somest flowering shrubs, of rapid growth,
attains a height of 10 ft. The flowers a
creamy white and last a long time, very
fragrant. The buds before opening are
of a bright red color. They begin to
show in November and grow until Feb-
ruary, making the plants most conspicu-
ous.
Fragrant Olive (O. fragrans). A shrub
with thick glossy evergreen leaves, na-
tive of Asia. Flowers white, in spread-

JAPANESE PITTOSPORUM.
Pittosporum Tobira. Leaves dark
green. Flowers white, very fragrant,
produced in short dense clusters. A
splendid specimen, hardy.
THE PRIVETS.
Ligustrum. These wonderful plants
can be adapted to many uses. The most
common use is hedges. For this they
are excellent. Then, as single plants,
growing in nature’s way, they are quite
ornamental, with glossy green leaves in
summer and winter and pretty white
flowers in spring. But they serve also
a splendid purpose when trimmed to va-
rious formal shapes, such as Standard
Bay Tree form, pretty Globes, shapely
Cones, Pyramids, etc. We have all these,
and beauties they are, for the lawn, or
in vases or in tubs, to adorn a score
of places about the home. Below are
the varieties we have:
Amoor River Privet (L. Amurense).
The true variety. This surpasses any
other evergreen privet. For the South it
The flowers of the Azaleas are unsurpassed
in charm and variety of color.
is far superior to the California Privet,
which turns brown in winter. Amoor
River Privet retains its bright green fol-
iage. Set the plants 12 inches apart
and after setting, cut back to within 6
inches of the ground. In the spring af-
ter the plants have made growth of 10
inches, cut off half of this growth. Pro-
ceed in a like manner with each suc-
ceeding growth until the
hedge has attained the de-
sired height and width.
Ibota Privet (Ligustrum
ibota). A large shrub
with graceful arching
branches. Native of Japan.
Leaves dark green and lus-
trous. Flowers white in
numerous nodding clusters.
A handsome shrub, valuable
for specimen plants, mass

its variegated foliage is very attrac-
tive. It is also adapted to the va-
rious uses for which the other Priv-
ets are so good.
The Otaheite Orange will not stand our severest
weather outdoors. But taken in for the winter, it brings
the tropics into the house, with its lovely fruit and fra-
grant flowers.
22 ASHFORD PARK NURSERIES, ATLANTA, GA.
dark shining green, 3 to 4 inches long.

dense clusters. Hardy and beautiful.
THE YUCCA.
The evergreen leaves, the beautiful flowers
and the red berries of the Mahonias are a
triple attraction.
EVERGREEN VIBURNUM.
Viburnum Suspensa. A shrub
with slender branches attaining
a height of 4 to 5 feet. Leaves
Yucca (Fillamentosa). A conspicuous
plant with stiff evergreen foliage. The
large clusters of cream-white flowers
produced in summer make a fine effect.

HARDY ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS.
We give much of our time and attention to this class of plants, in the selection
of the best kinds for this section, and in the growing of thrifty stock. Their im-
portance justifies this. It would be nearly impossible to name the different uses in
the adornment of the home, whether city lot or suburban or country grounds, to.
which they lend themselves. Their variety in form and color is almost limitless.
Both in the hands of the expert gardener and amateur they are wonderfully effec-
tive. By attention to the height, color, and time of blooming, even the amateur can
obtain charming results, from early spring until autumn. Shrubs should be cut back
nearly one-half when transplanted. Each winter also, some pruning should be done.
But Spireas, Deutzias, Altheas, etc., on which the blossoms come on last year’s
growth, should be pruned in summer, after the flowering season is past. This prun-
ing improves their vigor of growth, their flowering capacity, and the form and out-
line of the plant also.
The Hydrangia Granci.flora combines great beauty and a lasting quality which is unusual.
THE ALTHEAS.
Hibiscus. After years of neglect these
old favorites have come again into great
popularity, simply because they have
merit of the highest order. They are
thrifty, easily cared for, bloom all sum-
mer, in a variety of beautiful colors. They
make an excellent flowering hedge. We
have a fine selection in all colors, double
and single, including the new Meehanii,
which has variegated leaves and lavender
flowers. We have also these plants shap-
ed into tree form, and they are extremely
attractive.
AZALEA.
Azalea Mollis. The plants grow 3 to
5 ft., and in early spring are covered with
a mass of bloom in shades of red, white,
yellow and orange. Very popular.
Ghent Azalea. Grows 4 to 6 ft. The
flowers are large and of all shades like
A. Mollis.
24
ASHFORD PARK NURSERIES, ATLANTA, GA.
The Altheas naturally make a good sized
tree, but they can be pruned into any
shape, and for that reason, make a beauti-
ful Flowering Hedge.
THE BARBERRY.
Common Barberry (Berberis Vulgaris).
Has pretty yellow flowers and its prick-
ly nature fits it for hedging. The berries
completely cover the plant nearly all win-
ter. This variety is in common use for
hedges.
Thunberg’s Barberry (Berberis Thun-
bergii). This is second to none as an
ornamental shrub. The brilliant scarlet
berries which follow the small yellow
flowers hold on all winter. The foliage
in the fall is a magnificent sight, with
its charming hues of gold and scarlet.
We can not recommend this Japanese
production too highly. Also used largely
as a hedge.
Purple Barberry (B. Purpurea). Re-
tains the dark purple color of its foliage
throughout the summer. Very desirable,
attractive and unique.
BLADDER SENNA.
Colutea arborescens) (6 to 7 ft.). A
large shrub bearing orange yellow blos-
soms in May. Curious bladder-like seed
pods succeed. Often a second crop of
flowers appear in the fall.
BUCKTHORN.
Rhamnus. Has dark green foliage and
white flowers in June and July, followed
by black fruit; should not be overlooked.
SCOTCH BROOM.
Genista scoparia. An interesting shrub
with long dark green branches. It thrives
in sunny situations. The bright yellow
flowers bend the branches by their weight
and profusion. Try this pretty plant; it
is unique.
BUDDLEIA.
Buddleia lindleyana. A charming shrub
attaining a height of five to eight feet.
Flowers violet-purple in dense arching
racemes 4 to 8 inches long. Invites com-
ment wherever seen.
Fragrant Buddleia (B. variabilis). This
graceful shrub has many admirers. Flow-
ers lilac with an orange yellow spot in
the throat, produced in dense panicles 4
to 6 inches long. Very ornamental.
The flowers on the Pearl Bush are
very pretty.
ASHFORD PARK NURSERIES, ATLANTA, GA.

FLOWERING CURRANT.
Ribes aureum. A hardy shrub (6 ft.),
large yellow flowers in early spring.
Berries dark brown.
Purple: Immense clusters of flow-
ers of a rich purple.

free blooming.
CHASTE TREE.
Vitex. A really charming shrub (4
to 5 ft.) with lavender blue flowers
in dense racemes, early in May, last-
ing several weeks.
Crape Myrtle.
In summer, the Barberries are charming. In win-
ter radiant.
CRAPE MYRTLE.
Lagerstroemia. Here is another of the
old favorites that mother used to love,
which has come lately into its own. These
gems of the old times begin to bloom
THE DEUTZIAS.
Few shrubs are of such easy culture,
and fewer still give better return for
this care, in their wealth of blossom
in the spring. No yard, garden, or
lawn should be without them, in good-
ly number. The following is a fine se-
lection:
Deutzia Crenata Alba. Flowers pure
white, double; produced in great abund-
ance in spring.
D. Crenata Rosea (Double Pink
Deutzia). Same as above, except that
some of the outer petals are rosy-pur-
ple. Very desirable.
D. Gracilis. Flowers pure white bell
shaped, quite dwarf. Blooms in early
April.
D. Gracilis Rosea. Resembling D.
Gracilis, but flowers are light rose in
profuse clusters. An excellent sort.
D. Lemoinei. Flowers pure white, borne
in great profusion, dwarf habit, bloom
in early April. A desirable variety.
D. Pride of Rochester. Double white,
back of petals pink; large panicles, and
blooms early. One of the best.
when two feet high, and bloom on
more and more, and all through the
summer, until they reach a height of
20 feet. And such beautiful blooms,
fringed, purple, scarlet, white. Glos-
sy green foliage, scarlet in fall.

The long pink plumes on
Spirea Billardi are beautiful as
cut flowers in vases.
THE GOLDEN BELLS
(Forsythia.)
None of the hardy shrubs sur-
pass the splendor of these early
spring bloomers. When we look
ahead into the coming spring, in-
voluntarily, we get a mental pic-
ture of their yellow glory.
Golden Bell (Forsythia Suspen-
sa). A graceful shrubs with long
drooping branches. Flowers in
great profusion in early spring,
golden yellow. Very showy.
Fortunes’ Golden Bell (F. Sus-

in early spring with golden-yellow
blossoms. A great shrub.
Dark Green Forsythia (F. Viridissima). A
large shrub with erect long green-barked
branches. Flowers golden-yellow with twist-
ed petals. One of the best Forsythias.
GOLDEN CHAIN.
Cytisus laburnum. The handsomest yel-
low flowers borne in long silky racemes.
The beauty of this small tree (io to 15 ft.)
is charming.
THE H YDRANGIAS
t
(Hydrangia).
If, as the poets say, the beauty of the
crocus is modest, that of the Hydrangias is
bold and assertive. After the Snowballs,
their cousins, have passed off the stage, they
come in their aggressive way, and seem to
say, “They were good enough in their day,
but look at us, just as white, but see how
much bigger.” Nor will they pass behind the
curtain until frost has faded their pretty drap-
ery. Everybody knows the Hydrangias, ev-
erybody will have them, but not everybody
knows that their great white panicles will,
by training, grow to be nearly three feet in
circumference.
We have them that large on our ground now.
The following are the varieties we grow:
Hydrangia Grandiflora. From June to Oc-
tober the branches are bent with huge white
clusters, which as the season advances are
tinted pink. Hardy, easy to grow, free from
insects, good in masses or with other shrubs.
We have beautiful specimens in tree form
which are very attractive.
The Hydrangias grown into Tree Form will attract
and delight all through the summer, until fall.
ASHFORD PARK NURSERIES, ATLANTA, GA. 27

Corylus. A shrub or small tree hav-
ing large leaves, good for massing. Val-
uable also for the nuts, io to 21 ft.

grounds or vases at any time during the
summer.
Forsythia.
Ceoanthus. An attractive shrub
(4 to 6 ft.) bearing panicles of pret-
ty white flowers, in early May, which
last a long time.

hardy shrubs of real merit. The blos-
soms expand very early in spring and
are soon followed by a bountiful crop of
blue-black edible berries. They thrive
in almost any soil.

have larger flowers, in longer
plumes, and in a multitude of ex-
quisite new shades, and yet are
just as easy to grow anywhere as
the older ones. We have the old
and the new, in all colors.
THE MOCK ORANGES.
Philadelphus. How deliciously
fragrant are the, spring blossoms
of the Mock Oranges. A shrub-
bery group is incomplete without
them. Grown as specimens, they
not only make a grand display
when in bloom, but continue to
please with their attractive fol-
iage. Dwarf and tall growing va-
rieties we have; also a very fine
golden-leaved variety. Charming
in a group alone, or with other
shrubs.
PEARL BUSH.
THE LILAC.
Mock Orange.
unnecessary.
Japan Rose (Kerria japonica). A
shrub 4 to 6 ft. tall, native of Japan.
Flowers numerous, bright yellow and
showy. A charming plant and one
worthy of a place in any garden.
Syringa. The oldest types of lilacs
hold their place among our choicest
shrubs, but the new forms are finer still.
They are more fragrant, bloom freer;
Exochorda grandiflora. A large
shrub (8 to io ft.) with an abund-
ance of pretty white flowers, com-
ing in March, they give the ap-
pearance of a snow bank. We

know it, to those who do, this is
FLOWERING POMGRANATE.
Punica Granatum. There are few more
desirable shrubs than this. Its profu-
sion of flowers in shades of white, pink,
and red come all through the summer.
These, with its pretty foliage, make it
beautiful.
Spirea Van Houttie.
THE KERRIA.
White Kerria (Rhodotypos kerrioi-
des). A handsome and distinct shrub,
usually 4 to 5 ft. tall. Native of Japan.
Flowers pure white, an inch or more
across; in late spring, berries retained

RUSSIAN OLIVE.
Elaeagnus hortensis. A large shrub
or small tree (io to 12 ft.). Leaves
light green above, silvery white be-
neath. The out of the ordinary color
makes it an attractive feature in
any situation on the lawn.
SMOKE TREE.
Rhus Cotinus. Greatly admired
for its cloud-like masses of very del-
icate flowers, that cover the plant
during the summer, appearing from
a distance like clouds of smoke.
SIBERIAN PEA TREE.
Caragana aborescens. Hardy tall
growing, not unlike a laburnum in
appearance, bearing pea-shaped yel-
low flowers.
The Snowberry is sometimes called the Waxberry.
The latter name describes the wax-like berries which
hang in clusters on its pendant branches.
The pretty blossoms of the Hawthorns are no small
part of their attractions. Besides, they have the glossy
leaves and scarlet berries.
THE SWEET SHRUB.
Sweet Shrub (Calycanthus floridus).
A desirable and very ornamental shrub
widely cultivated for its large fra-
grant flowers. Flowers reddish brown,
sweet scented. Borne in late spring
and summer; grows from 4 to 6 ft.
high.

ASHFORD PARK NURSERIES, ATLANTA, GA.
SNOW GARLAND.
Shirea Thunbergii. A beautiful dwarf
variety forming a dense bush. The leaves
in autumn assume brilliant shades of
orange and scarlet. Profuse bloomer in
early spring. Desirable for a low hedge.
SNOWBERRY.
Symphoricarpos racemosus (4 to 4 ft.).
This shrub is very much valued for its
white berries in the fall. It is very or-
namental and should be in every lawn
or yard.
THE SNOWBALL.
Snowball (Viburnum Opulus Sterilis).
Produces large globula clusters of white
flowers in April. An old favorite.
Japanese Snowball (V. Plicatum). A
beautiful variety, of upright bushy
growth; produces heads of white flow-
ers in great profusion. Far superior to
the old snowball. Blooms earlier in
April, lasts several weeks.

THE SPIREAS.
Of all the hardy shrubs, none have so long a period of bloom as the various
forms of Spireas. Starting with the Bridal Wreath in early March, they continue
to flower until autumn finds the red-flowered Anthony Waterer still in bloom. All
spring blooming forms should be pruned after flowering, but those flowering later
may be winter pruned. It would be a half-planted shrubbery which could boast of
no Spireas.
Spirea (Prunifolia florepleno) (Bridal
Wreath). A beautiful early blooming va-
riety with small double white flowers.
Commences to bloom in early March.
S. Reevesiana. With large round clus-
ters of white double flowers, which cover
the entire plant. A most desirable early
spring bloomer. Commences to bloom
latter part of March and continues for
several weeks. One of the best.
Van Houtte’s Spirea (S. Van
Houtei). A graceful shrub grow-
ing 6 to 8 ft. in height. Producing
a profusion of single white flowers
during the latter part of March.
Deservedly one of the most popu-
lar Spireas.
Crimson Spirea (S. Anthony Wa-
terer). A remarkable free flower-
ing shrub with upright branches,
attains a height of three ft. If
blooms are cut off as soon as they
begin to fade, the plant will bloom
throughout the entire season. Mak-
es a beautiful low-growing hedge.
Billard’s Spirea (S. Billardii).
A hardy upright shrub growing 4
to 5ft. tall. Flowers bright pink,
produced in long dense panicles in
summer. Very showy, and attrac-
tive, and splendid for cut-flowers.
Spirea Callosa Alba. This, like
the Waterer, blooms from April
until fall. The flowers come in
beautiful white clusters instead of
crimson. In height and growth it
is very similar.
Japanese Blue Spirea (Caryop-
teris). Compact bush, two feet
high, begins to bloom in July, and
is covered with lovely blue flowers
until early fall. Pretty as a nov-
elty.
TRIFOLIATE ORANGE.
Citrus trifoliata. A small tree with
stout branches armed with sharp thorns.
Foliage glossy green, flowers white, fra-
grant. Used largely as an ornamental
and defensive hedge, and excellent for
both purposes. Single specimens make a
beautiful tree, 15 to 20 ft., hung in the
fall with yellow fruit. It is exceedingly
attractive in any situation.
No plants give richer return for the little care they
require than the Paeonies. They have such georgeous
beauty, and such unlimited variety.
32
ASHFORD PARK NURSERIES, ATLANTA, GA.
In any one color, the Hardy Phlox would be charming.
But they have infinite variety, and they last all summer.
WITCH HAZEL.
Hamamelis virginiani. Late in
autumn after many shrubs are
dormant, the Witch Hazel comes
with its wealth of bright yellow
flowers, in defiance of the ap-
proaching winter.
THE WEIGELAS (Diervilla).
This is one of the most attrac-
tive group of shrubs, and few
others add more to spring’s floral
display than their wealth of va-
ried blossoms.
D. Rosea. Flowers large and
rose-colored, borne in such pro-
fusion that the whole plant ap-
pears a mass of blooms.
D. Rosea-Nana Variegata.
Deep green leaves broadly mar-
gined white. Pretty pink flowers.
D. Candida. Strong, erect
grower. Flowers pure white and
produced in great profusion in
June.
D. Eva Rathke. The best red-
flowered kind; almost a continual
bloomer.
THE THORN.
English Hawthorne. Glossy green
leaves, fragrant white flowers, height io
to 12 ft. Very attractive shrub or small
tree used largely in England as a hedge.
Silver Thorn (Elaeagnus parvifolia).
A large shrub (8 to io ft.) with fragrant
yellow flowers, followed by bright ber-
ries. A distinctive feature is the bright
silvery foliage.
TAMARIX.
A strong growing shrub with slender
branches, bearing in April and May
bright pink flowers in slender racemes.
WHITE FRINGE.
Chionanthus Virginica. A very orna-
mental native shrub, white, fringe-like,
fragrant flowers in early April.
Hardy Orange (Citrus trifoliata).

HARDY ORNAMENTAL VINES.
Climbing vines are as necessary to the comfort and beauty of a home as the
trees and shrubs we plant about it. Indeed nothing so quickly tones down the rough-
ness of a new place as some of the rapid climbers. Besides those named below are
the climbing Roses in all colors.
Clematis (Clematis paniculata).
A strong, rapid grower, with fol-
iage very attractive in itself. In
August it is covered with fragrant
white star-like flowers, adding much
to its beauty.

Akebia (Quinata). A
rapid-growing, beautiful
vine, with five-fingered
leaves, and plum color-
ed, sweet scented flow-
ers late in April.
Japan or Boston Ivy
(ampelopsis veitchii).
The famous Ivy used so
extensively to cover
brick or stone buildings.
The foliage is dense and
the autumnal tinges of
green and red are unsur-
passed.
It is a lovely picture which the Moon Vine makes when its huge
flowers, some white, some blue, unfold as the sun goes down, and
fold up again as he rises.
34
ASHFORD PARK NURSERIES, ATLANTA, GA.
The Running and Climbing Roses are beautiful, fra-
grant and useful along terraces, banks, walls, steps, as
well as over arches, trellises, pergolas, porches.
Scarlet Trumpet (L. Sempevir-
ens). Strong and rapid growing,
with snowy scarlet flowers all
summer.
Pink Woodbine, Evergreen (L.

Japanese Kudzu Vine (Dolichos
Japonica). An extremely rapid
growing vine that will make from
40 to 60 ft. a year. It is especially
desirable for quick effects, and use-
ful for hiding unsightly objects.
The leaves are large and hand-
some. An excellent vine any-
English Ivy (Hedera Helix). Har-
dy, and grows especially well when
planted on the eastern or northern
side of buildings. A handsome
climber.

radicans). The small evergreen
leaves of this plant are very pretty.
Usually found as a vine, but when
clipped, frequently makes a low
bushy specimen.
Japan Honeysuckle (Lonicera
Japonica Halliana). Excellent
where a rapid grower is wanted.
The yellow flowers come late in
June, continuing through summer
and fall and are very fragrant.

Everybody krfows how beautiful the Wistaria is on
porch, trellis or pergola. Trained into tree form, they are
also very attractive on the lawn.

Moon Flower (Ipomea Maxi-
ma). This grand new Moon
Flower is fully three times the
size of the old variety. The flow-
ers are pure white.
Moon Flower (Learii). This
makes a splendid companion to
the white moon flower. It is
rapid in growth and as free grow-
ing as the white, blooming in the
morning and dull days. The flow-
ers are blue with reddish purple
rays, and are six inches across.
Matrimony Vine. Pale purple
flowers and scarlet berries are
constantly appearing from early
in the spring until late in the fall.

ORNAMENTAL GRASSES.
These are among the finest of all hardy plants for bedding. All are exceedingly
graceful, with large plumy flower heads.
Artistic, effective and lasting ornamental results may be obtained by the use
of these attractive plants, which are hardy, and in a variety of colors.
Interpersed in the shrubbery or perennial border they appear at home. If a
formal bed is being treated, they are unquestionably the plants to give the best
all around effect spring, summer and fall.
The common striped grass, well known to all, is Eulalia variegata. A decidedly
pretty striped grass, the bars of which run crosswise, is Eulalia Zebrina.
Spring planting is to be recommended for all these grasses.
Great Reed (Arundo Donax Varie-
gata). A beautiful variegated grass;
foliage creamy white and green, growing
6 to 8 ft. high.
Japan Rush (Eulalia Japonica Univit-
tata). With narrow foliage and narrow
stripe running through the entire leaf.
Eulalia (E. Variegata). Striped, in ap-
pearance it somewhat resembles the rib-
ron grass while in a young state. It
forms compact clumps 6 feet in dia-
meter.
Eulalia (E. Zebra). Similar in habit to
above, but with its leaves blotched with
gold. The stripe runs across the leaf.
Pampas Grass (Gynerium Argenteum).
This grass is indespensible on large
grounds. Its silvery plumes are pro-
duced on large stems 6 to 8 ft. high.

ROSES.
The Rose has charmed the human race for centuries. Other flowers there are
with merit of the highest order, but the Rose is now the acknowledged Queen, as
she was when Greece and Rome were in their glory. Her matchless form, clothed
in satin of limitless shadess of color, her delicate fragrance, and with all, her adap-
tability to so many changes in soil and climate, will perhaps for centuries yet to
come, make her the one first choice among all floral treasures. All realize the
fascination of this bewitching flower, and few have resisted at all times, the tempta-
tion to cultivate it, but many have failed of success. These failures as we believe,
are mainly due to starting with the small green-house plants, which have been in
such general use. Inevitably, failure with the latter is the common experience. But
lately there has been found a better way. This is to buy from the nurserymen field-
grown plants which they have successfully carried through the critical stage in
open ground. Every plant we offer has been grown out doors, on our own grounds.
They should not be classed either as to value or price with the hot-house plants.
The following list are such as have proven to be well adapted to this climate and
soil. The letters such as (H. P.), following each name, refer to the class to which
each belongs.
Roses thrive in any good soil. A little bone meal or well-rotted manure helps
their growth. They should be cut back to three to five inches from the ground in
transplanting, and after frost each fall, at least half of the year’s growth should be
pruned off, and decayed wood cut out. A vigorous sprinkling of the leaves and
branches with water is one of the best remedies for the insects which generally in-
fest Roses.

HEDGES.
Hedges are being used more and more. Already they have superceded fences
and walls in cities. Finally, they will do the same in towns and villages, and in the
country also. They add beauty and dignity. A fence does not. They are cheaper.
They last indefinitely.
The Privets are the standard. For a flowering hedge, many of the roses are
charming, Baby Rambler, Marie Pavie, etc. Also some of the flowering shrubs,
Spireas, Barberries, Japan Quince, etc. For a tall hedge, the Altheas are excellent.
For defensive hedge against stock in the country, Citrus Trifoliata is effective. For
low borders along walks and drives, Box is superb. All the above, and many others,
we can furnish in any quantities.
A garden of Hardy Perennials is a beauty spot around any home. They come
without replanting, every summer. Keeping down the weeds and untidy dead
flowers is all the care they require.
HARDY PERENNIALS.
These are generally called old-fashioned flowers, but they certainly do not de-
serve any reproach that may be associated with that name. They may be so selected
as to give a display all through the summer. In our selection we have had this in
mind, and have also endeavored to discard such kinds of each variety as had the
least merit.

With the exception of Figs, we do not grow fruit trees on a large scale, or un-
dertake to supply all the varieties of each kind. We are thus able to pay special

BULBS.
In this, as in all other departments, we have made no attempt to offer a com-
plete assortment. We are thus able to discard all which do not reach a high stand-
ard of merit in their particular line.
Cannas, Crocus, Caladium, Dahlias, Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissus.
These Cacti are hardy. Many others have to be taken indoors in winter. But they are so odd and
attractive, that they make splendid house plants.
CACTI.
We grow a line of these interesting plants, which we can without any reserve,
recommend to our customers as exceedingly attractive and ornamental. Although
the moit of them have to be protected in winter in this climate, they amply repay
this care. Their odd manner of growth, so different from any other class of plants,
is a constant source of interest and delight. Planted in vases, pots or tubs, filled
with about equal proportion of soil, sand and pebbles, they require no further atten-
tion or watering, if placed where the rain will reach them; and only rarely if kept
indoors.
PLANTS IN TUBS, POTS AND VASES.
We carry a line of pots, tubs and vases (some very handsome), having in them
thrifty growing plants of various kinds, such as Conifers, Cacti, Palms, etc. Also
Globe, Pyramid, Cone and Tree forms of Box, Privet and Euonymous. These we
sell with or without the vases, etc. From these they can be planted into your own
vases or on your lawn, safely any month in the year. A handsome tree or shrub
in this shape has enduring quality, which makes it quite appropriate as an anni-
versary present.

Beautiful ornamental tree, but the nuts
are somewhat uncertain in this latitude.
FIGS.
We believe in Figs. We predict they will soon take an important position in
fruit shipments from the South. With proper treatment, they can be shipped 1,000
miles. An acre will take about 300 trees, and yield a ton or more of fruit. Figs bring
brings even better prices than Strawberries in this market, and the demand is never
supplied. They are a surer crop than Peaches. The care, culture and gathering are
all less expensive. They ripen all through the summer, supplying the demand as it
arises. Thus none need be lost by rotting, which is the main loss with all fruits,
except Apples. The trees bear the second year, often the first. It is the coming
crop for the South. Almost as free from competition as Cotton. If you have only
a back yard or garden, plant a few trees of this fine Fruit. If more land, plant an
acre for market.
The following we think is as good a selection as can be made:
Brunswick. Violet, large, good, hardy, White Marseilles. White, very large,
productive productive bearer, hardy, among the best.
Brown Turkey. Brown, medium, abun- Celestial. Violet, very sweet, excellent
dant, sweet, hardy, best for field culture. bearer, hardy.

ENEMIES OF FRUIT TREES, VINES, ETC.
Commercial Fruit Growers must combat these pests in order to have success.
Those growing for their own use will also find it will pay to give some attention
to them. There is a vast number of remedies, but expert opinion is now agreed
that those named herein are the best. If applied in accordance with the Spraying
Calendar, they will destroy the most destructive and common enemies, and add
greatly to the quantity and quality of your fruit. Conifers also should be sprayed
with the Copper Sulphate solution when any fungus disease appears. Likewise
Pecans and some other trees are attacked by the Twig Girdler. The remedy for
this is in autumn to burn the twigs which have fallen, and thus destroy the eggs
of the insect.
FORMULAE FOR INSECTICIDE SOLUTIONS.
Arsenate of Lead used in place of Paris Green and London Purple. It can
be used much stronger with less danger of injury to plants. Two pounds to fifty
gallons of water will give good results.
Bordeaux Mixture. Copper sulphate, four pounds; quick-lime, six pounds; water,
fifty gallons. Dissolve the copper sulphate by putting it in a bag and hanging it in a
wooden or earthen vessel holding twenty-lve gallons; slake the lime gradually and
add water until you have twenty-five gallons. The blue-stone mixture and lime
should then be poured into the pump so that the two streams will mix thoroughly
as they fall. Bordeaux mixture will not keep more than twenty-four hours.
Copper-Sulphate Solution. Dissolve one pound of copper-sulphate in fifteen
gallons of water. Do not apply this solution to foliage; it must be used before buds
break on grape-vines and peach trees. For the latter, use twenty-five gallons of
water.
Kerosene Emulsion. One-half pound of soap dissolved in one gallon of water;
and to this, while hot, two gallons of kerosene. (The boiling soap solution should
be removed from the fire before the kerosene is added). Churn violently until the
mass becomes of the consistency of butter. Dilute the aboxe mixture with from
nine to fifteen parts of water when using, so that it will not be stronger than one
part of oil to nine to fifteen of water.
Lime and Sulphur Wash. Lime, unslaked, twenty pounds; sulphur, ground, six-
teen pounds; water, to make fifty gallons. Place eight to ten gallons of water in an
iron kettle over a fire, and when it reaches the boiling point add the sulphur and mix
thoroughly, then add the lime, which will immediately produce a violent boiling.
From time to time add a small quantity of water as needed to prevent boiling over
or burning. The sulphur gradually goes into solution, and the mixture, at first thick
and pasty, becomes thinner and thinner, changing in color through several shades
of yellow. After boiling at least one and a half hours, the mixture should be diluted
by the addition of sufficient hot water.
The lime and sulphur wash is now generally recommended for controlling the
San Jose scale, and in some respects is superior to the other remedies named.

THE CARE OF PLANTS.
Much depends on the treatment of tree, shrub or plant after the customer gets
it in hand. We are always glad to give such instructions as may be adapted to each
special kind. But the general rules cover* nearly all cases, and may not be amiss
here. If there is any delay in planting after arrival, the roots should be protected
from sun and air by covering with moist soil. With evergreens, it is necessary to
shade the top also. When this is carefully done, several days, and sometimes weeks
of delay in fall and winter, will cause no injury. Trees and Shrubs as a rule, should
be severely pruned when transplanted, especially the hard-wooded kinds. What is
cut off will be more than made up within a short time, by more vigorous growth.
In planting, the ground should be well loosened for as large a space around the
roots as is practical. Cut off smoothly any broken roots. Set the plant a little
deeper (say two inches), than it grew in the nursery. Straighten out the roots, and
pack the soil firmly around them. Good top soil is better than manure. Two or
three inches of rotted stable manure on top around the plant is the best mulch. If
the ground is reasonably moist, little or no water is necessary. Much care should
be taken not to bruise the bark of trees, especially Conifers. If these simple rules
are observed, with ordinary judgment, plants with a good root system should rarely
fail to live and thrive. Although the body of trees and shrubs becomes dormant in
the fall, the roots continue to grow. Hence fall and winter in this latitude is the
best season for planting.

Too complex to be solved by me,

Does part of his, that plants a tree.” — Lowell.
