THE HORTICULTURAL ADVERTISER. 



CHEAP TREES AND SHRUBS. 



It is now well known that there is as ninoh difterence in the quality of trees as in the quality of dry goods. A yard 

 may be worth ten cents, or it may be worth a dollar. So the ten-cent tree may be a dear tree, while the dollar one be 

 cheap. A tree which dies is a dear tree at any price— and not much less dear is one which lives, but is stunted for years 

 afterwards. Even under the most favorable condition trees will sometimes die, but the chances are reduced by getting 

 the best trees. j b & 



We have trees so low in price that they barely pay the cost of digging, for those who prefer to take the risk- others, 

 frequently transplanted, at somewhat higher prices, but still cheap in proportion to quality. 



Our priced Catalogue, wholesale and retail, is now ready. Our collection, embracing over one thousand items, has 

 been too large to give it in the form of a descriptive list ; but a new feature of the present one is an attempt to make it 

 somewhat more of a descriptive catalogue than has been hitherto thought possible.
