IOSE who have previously received our catalogues will
miss the illustrations in this issue. We believe that the
plant-purchaser knows what he wants, and is most inter¬
ested in what we have for sale, the sizes and prices, printed
in plain, large type, and does not depend to any extent upon
catalogue illustrations for guidance. Anyone seeking advice on garden
or landscape matters will please refer to the inside back cover page of
this catalogue. We will send, on request, a list of carefully selected
books, covering the entire field of horticulture.

proportionate expense of digging and packing orders must be taken into account.

HOW ORDERS ARE SHIPPED. We ship large trees and other bulky orders by

express to advantage; this is especially advisable where immediate arrival is desired.

PACKING. We charge for packing at cost, when stock is purchased at hundred-
rate prices, or in case of large, bulky stock, or where we ship with carefully pre¬
served balls of earth. Otherwise we make no charge for packing.
HOW TO REACH US. Our nursery and office are located at EDC.EWOOD, Edge-
wood Avenue, just beyond Edgewood Park. See Guide Map on inside back cover.
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 prepara¬
tion 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 reach us 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. \ isitors are always most cordially welcome. During the
spring and fall there are short intervals, however, when it is quite impossible
for us to devote much time to showing parties about the nursery, as these are
the most strenuous shipping periods of the entire year.
TRANSPLANTING DIRECTIONS. This instructive pamphlet we arc pleased
to send on request.

Evergreens are a specialty with us and our collection includes 'many rare and
beautiful specimens as well as a large stock of the more common sorts. We are for¬
tunate in having soil conditions very favorable for their development, both of top
and root. We transplant and root-prune all our evergreens frequently, which prac¬
tically insures their successful transplanting, even of the larger specimens.
How to Ship Evergreens.
We recommend hauling by teams when delivery is within economical distance.
Small orders to distant 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.

T HE great beauty of the broad leaf 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 parts of the year when many trees and plants are without foliage. There
is practically no end to 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 dryness. This does not necessarily mean frequent
watering.

RHODODENDRON MAXIMUM (Rose-Bay).
This native broad-leaf strictly hardy evergreen affords splendid opportunity
for no end of charming effects. In large public parks and private estates they can
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
perfectly hardy and thrives luxuriantly even in the shady corner and under trees.
Our stock is collected high up on the tablelands of the Allegheny Mountains where
it is so very cold and exposed to such severe weather conditions that even the native
trees are dwarfed in growth.

cations authoritatively signed.

THE ELM CITY NURSERY CO., NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT
Nursery Department
We grow and supply the best grade of nursery stock the market affords. Our
facilities are very complete, every department being under efficient management
That our methods are meeting with popular favor is evidenced by the rapid growth
our business enjoys. By purchasing from our nurseries you are guaranteed High-
Qualiiy stock. Our nursery stock is grown under most favorable conditions, dug and
packed by skilled and careful workmen, and can be depended on to produce maxi¬
mum results when planted under favorable conditions. The nurseries arc open to the
public every day of the year, but positively no business will be transacted on Sunday.
Landscape Department
Where best results are anticipated in landscape and other gardening work, experi¬
ence is a most important factor. Our Landscape Department is under well-equipped
and expert management. We are glad to offer suggestions without charge to intending
purchasers, but where landscape problems require special visits, plans, specifications,
etc., a charge is made consistent with value of services rendered. We will be pleased
to take up this matter more fully with those who are interested. Ample reference
from those who have employed 11 s.
Send for our cross-section sketch-sheet blank. On filling it out and returning it
to us we will offer you valuable suggestions for your grounds without charge.
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, and tl rught-
fully get into shape necessary sketches, drawings and specifications, so that
work can proceed methodically and, therefore, economically.
Popular Talks
Arrangements can be made for talks before Village Improvement Societies, Horti¬
cultural Societies, etc., on gardening, landscape and other kindred subjects, with or
without lantern-slides.
Gardening Department
W e maintain a force of competent gardeners who do gardening work in a thorough
and practical manner. Pruning and otherwise caring for established trees, vines, etc.,
is a special feature of our work, and one that an owner can afford to put into experi¬
enced hands only. Many trees whose worth cannot be counted in dollars, which are
perishing from neglect, can often be restored to health and given a new lease of life
if given proper treatment.
