PEOPLE who never or rarely visit nurseries, and whose 

 only knowledge of trees and shrubs is derived from the 

 few common things usually offered by 



TRAVELING SALESMEN, 



have no idea of the beautiful variety to be had in first-class 

 nurseries. We have in our nurseries nearly a thousand 

 species or marked varieties to select from, and yet in hundreds 

 of miles only a few common maples or " shrub bushes " may 

 be seen in gardens. 



OUR CATALOGUE 



is a study for those who would enjoy beautiful things, and is 

 sent free to all applicants. To aid 



COUNTRY NURSERYMEN 



in introducing these numberless good things, we sell by the 

 10 or 100, often at less than half the price of a single specimen.
