Attention of Park and Cemetery officials is called to this list of stock, which
is selected, heavy, and fine in every particular. For immediate effect it is unex-
celled, and the prices are BELOW COMPETITION, even if there was a dupli-
cate stock in America, and | can confidently say THERE IS NOT. This is only
an ABRIDGED list, however, the Highlands Nursery having in stock hundreds
of thousands of fine trees and plants, in hundreds of varieties. Wholesale
Catalogue is published a few weeks later.
