Trees and Plants individually selected at our nurseries or special quota- 
tions will be charged for according to quoted price without discounts. 


TERMS. Cash in advance from unknown parties who do not furnish satisfacto *) 
reference. We send invoice at time of shipment of order, and should any error! 
be noticed on receipt of goods notify us immediately and we will do all in our 
power to rectify it. 


HOW ORDERS ARE SHIPPED. We ship all large trees and other bulky or.? 
ders, which are to go outside the city, by freight, unless otherwise requested, 
Medium sized orders can be shipped by express to advantage; this is especially 
advisable where immediate arrival is desired. All orders are delivered free 
to local freight, express companies and in the city. We are not liable for 
delays by forwarding parties. If stock is not promptly received notify us and 
we will trace. 


PACKING. We make no charge for packing excepting when stock is purchased at 
hundred-rate prices or in case of large bulky stock, or where we ship with carefully 
preserved balls of earth, etc., which necessitates devoting more time and packing 
material than is usual. In such instances a charge covering cost is made. 


HOW TO REACH US. Our nursery and office are located at EDGEWOOD, 
Edgewood Avenue, just beyond Edgewood Park. The Edgewood Avenuat 
cars direct to the nursery from the Railroad Station, and by transfer frovsés 
transfer points. Parties autoing, driving or wheeling to the nursery will find 
West Chapel Street the best route, turning to the right at either Central or 
Alden Avenue. 


EARLY ORDERS. To one familiar with the rush at the packing season, it must | 
be obvious that it is impossible to fill an order requiring much time in its prep-! 
aration on short notice without doing an injustice to others who have their | 
orders previously booked. In fairness to all, we have adopted the practice of | 

filling orders in the rotation received, unless orders are received far enough | 

ahead of the packing season, with instructions to ship at a given date, so that | 
we can arrange a special shipping date. So we again say—place your order as | 
far in advance of shipping as you possibly can, stating when you would like stock | 
sent. 


IMPORTANT NOTE. During March, April and May there are intervals when | 
it is quite impossible for us to devote much time to showing parties about the } 


nursery, as this is the most strenuous shipping period of the entire year. |

We grow and supply the best grade of nur- 
sery stock the market affords. Our facilities 
are very complete, every department being un- 
der efficient management. That our methods 
are meeting with popular favor is avidenced by 
the rapid growth our business enjoys. By pur- 
chasing from our Nurseries you are guaranteed 
High Quality stock. It is grown under most 
favorable conditions, dug and packed by skilled 
and careful workmen. Our nursery stock can 
be depended on to produce maximum results 
when planted under favorable conditions. The 
Nurseries are open to the public every day of the 
year, but positively no business will be transacted 
Sunday.

mit sketches for plantings without charge to intend- 
ng purchasers, but where landscape problems require special visits, plans, specifi- 
wtions, etc., a charge is made to cover expenses, etc. We will be pleased to take 
#9) this matter more fully with those who are interested. 


Gardening Department. 


We maintain a force of competent gardeners who can execute gardening work in a thorough and 
gractical manner. Pruning and otherwise caring for established trees, vines, etc., is a special feature 
four work, and one that an owner can afford to put into experienced hands only, Many trees whose 
rth cannot be counted in dollars, which are perishing from neglect, can be restored to health and 
ven a new lease of life if given proper treatment. 


We can refer to many satisfied clients who have approved our planting plans, 
rocured their stock from us and employed us to carry out the work. Genuine 
eonomy is many times gained by having all the work incidental to the carrying 
wut of a landscape problem under one contract. 


IMPORTANT LANDSCAPE PROBLEMS. 


It is seldom advisable to attempt to hurry through important landscape problems. Time enough 
should be given to work out an original idea, thoughtfully get into shape necessary sketches, draw- 
mgs and specifications so that work can proceed methodically and therefore economacally.

Roots of Plants. 


We seldom hear much said 
about the root system of a tree 
or plant; in fact, if the top of 
the plant looks shapely, little ¢s 
thought of it otherwise by the 
usual buyer; but the fact ts, its 
root system ts an all important 
feature in its economy. If a 
plant tis to be transplanied suc- 
cessfully it 1s of great import- 
ance that its roots have been 
suitably trained, and this ap- 
| plies especially to the larger 
| trees and all evergreens. Ap- 
| preciating this, we regularly 
| root prune our trees, with the 
result that the stock we send out 
is in the best of condition, both 


under and above ground, for 


Pin Oak. A native tree of great beauty. The formal | ,

Our nurseries are a genuine storehouse of just the kind of good things that can be made to pro- 
duce almost any landscape effect desired and do it quickly, af one prefers right away effects. Many 
acres are devoted to developing beautiful specimens which take up with balls of earth and transplant 


just as successfully as the smaller sizes. 


FOR SPECIAL DISCOUNTS SEE INSIDE FRONT COVER PAGE. 


14 Tue Eitm Criry Nursery Co., New Haven, CONNECTICUT. 


The above illustration shows a handsome White Pine (Pinus Strobus) about 12 feet high, 
with ball of earth carefully secured with burlaps, just dug from a nearby block of fine specimens. 
We have a splendid lot of specimen evergreens, which have been so frequently transplanted that = 
large balls of earth can be taken up with each tree. Immediate effects can be gained by using x 


these specimen trees. 
Choice and Rare 
Evergreens. 


Evergreens are a specialty with us and our col- 
lection includes many rare and beautiful specimens 
as well as a large stock of the more common sorts. 
We are fortunate in having soil conditions very 
favorable for their development, both of top and 
root. We transplant and root prune all our ever- 
greens frequently, which practically insures their ’ 
successful transplanting, even of the larger speci- ~ 
mens. 


How to Ship Evergreens. 


We recommend hauling by teams when delivery 
is within economical distance. Small orders to dis- 
tant points can be boxed for shipping by freight 
or express, but where a number of specimen trees 
are to be sent, we advise shipping in bulk in car lots; 
this saves the cost of boxing and insures their arrival 
without injury. We gladly advise, if requested, the 
shipping method we recommend for individual ship- 
ments. 


Prices of Evergreens. “ 


See following pages for prices of the usual sizes. 
The prices of specimens will vary with each plant, as 


Weeping Norway | they vary greatly in individual merit. It is desirable 
Spruce. No end of at- Sor ; 
tractive effects can be to visit the nursery and make a personal selection, 


procured with this ever- 


peer but where this is not practicable, we will gladly 


make selections for a customer.

Broad Leaved Evergreen Sheaha, 


Rhododendrons produce most charming effects when planted in liberal masses. 


HE great beauty of the broad leaved evergreens makes them 
most valuable for gardening purposes. Many are among 
our most -spectacular and gorgeous flowering shrubs, while 

their broad, attractive leaves show out most effectively during the 
portion of the year when many trees and plants are without foliage. 
There is practically no end of the charming results that can be gained 
by the liberal use of this class of plants. Groupings generally give 
most attractive effects and the plants themselves do much better 
when planted this way. 

Good, fertile loam should always be used in preparing for this, 
class of plants. Sufficient water should be supplied at least until 
they become well established so that they will not suffer from dry- 
ness. This does not necessarily mean frequent watering.

Rose-Bay (Rhododendron Maximum.) : 


This native broad-leaf strictly hardy evergreen affords splendid opportunity for no end of charm- 
ing effects. In large public parks and private estates they can be used by thousands, and even within 
the more restricted area of the usual city lot many chances for their liberal use are sure to arise. This 
beautiful Rhododendron is not only perfectly hardy but thrives luxuriantly even in the shady corner 
and under trees, and in June is a mass of lovely soft pink flowers similar in color to our well-known 
mountain laurel. _It will develop into a nice individual specimen, but is most happy and effective 
when planted in generous masses. Our stock is collected high up on the table lands of the Allegheny 
Mountains in Pennsylvania, where it is so very cold and exposed to such severe weather conditions that 
even the native trees are dwarfed in growth.

Hardy Herbaceous Plants 


to year and whose tops die annually to the ground are clas- 

sified under this heading. It includes such splendid 
garden plants as Pzonies, Iris, Larkspurs, etc. The great ease 
with which these plants can be grown and their great variety of 
color and form and season of bloom makes them indispensable 
for the garden. Of late years, there has been a steadily increas- 
ing demand for this class of plants as well as a great improve- 
ment in the varieties, so that they now make an important 
feature in the business of many nurserymen. Weare making them 
a specialty at the nursery, growing them in large quantities out 
in the open fields under the most favorable conditions. The 
classification is the one adopted by Prof. L. H. Bailey in the 
Cyclopedia of American Horticulture. 


Description of height at flowering season and time of blossom- 
ing, general color of bloom, and very brief descriptions only are 
attempted in this abridged list. 

In arranging this list, we have used the popular or common 
names as far as seemed consistent.

These beautiful and fragrant golden lilies 
are of the easiest culture, succeeding in almost. 
any garden soil. They are remarkably free 
from the enemies that so unfortunately beset 
so many of our garden favorites. By a selec- 
tion from the following list, these beautiful 
lilies can be had in flower from May to August. 
The leaf growth starts very early in the spring, 
adding a pleasing light green to the border 
where they are used. This growth quickly 
shoots up into a graceful clump of flowing 
rich green foliage, which lends its attraction 
to the garden border. Springing from this 
growth graceful flower spikes appear, liberally 
supplied with flowers and buds for severat 
weeks. The color is from soft lemon to rich- 
est apricot yellow and deep orange, varying 
with the variety. Fragrance delightful. No 
other one class of strictly hardy garden lilies

feeders, and only when they have plenty 
to feed on can they be expected to pro- 
duce best results.

Dwarf Fruit Trees. 


These interesting dwarf trees have commercial possibilities, but it is 1o the amateur and home 
gardener that they appeal especially. Practically every garden offers opportunities for iheir success- 
ful culture. Where too limited areas are available to make ordinary fruit trees practicable these dwarf 
forms are most acceptable. They can be planted along the garden fence or walls, on either side of the 
garden paths and can be made to add an additional feature to many a flower garden border. Train- 
ing them flat or to special forms is popular with many; others prefer to keep them in natural shaped 
trees, only tn miniature. Dwarf trees fruit freely, ofien after the second year bechsne abundantly 
fruits of the largest size and finest quality. (See illustration). 


DwarF Fruit TREES, by F. A. Waugh, is a valuable book on this subject which we recom- 
mend. Price 50 cents. With order for dwarf fruit trees amounting to $10.00 we will be pleased 
to include a copy of this book without extra charge.
