We are the largest crowers of Perennial Phlox In the world. Our col- 

 lection ii unequalled, and we are prepared to fttrnish the new and rare 

 kinds aB well as all the popular and standard varieties in large quantities. 



The plants we offer are nearly all strong one-year-old fleld-grown 

 plants or equally strong divisions, and will make a fine display of flowers 

 this season. This stock is much superior to and must not be confounded 

 with young Winter propagated stock such as ia generally sent out in the 

 Spring of the year.

Huous or otherwise objectionable on ma- 

 ples. 



If there occurs an interval of compara- 

 tive quiet between the rush of planting 

 deciduous trees and that of evergreens, it 

 ought, as far as possible, lo be taken 

 advantage of in the way of transplanting 

 those of the former remaining unsold in 

 the nursery rows. The labor thus de- 

 voted could hardly be applied to a better 

 purpose. 



Seedlings and cuttings kept right along 

 under glass cover should be well hard- 

 ened before being set out in the nursery 

 rows. 



Weeds are a plague to nurserymen, es- 

 pecially in wet seasons. It will help 

 greatly to keep these down if the war of 

 extermination is begun early and per- 

 sistently waged during every dry day. 



This persistent killing of weeds, or the 

 cultivation of the soil for their preven- 

 tion, is not only good for that special 

 purpose, but is also serviceable in^ its 

 help to the trees in the nursery. 



There is no doubt that moving oaks is 

 usually attended with some degree of 

 danger, especially if the trees are large, 

 but if those trees had been as frequently 

 transplanted as is commonly the case 

 with others requiring the precaution less, 

 the danger would be reduced to a mini- 

 mum. The moving of a large oak should 

 never be attempted until at least a year 

 has elapsed since the roots were cut 

 at a suitable distance from the trunk of 

 the tree. This is a good method to adopt 

 with all trees on which the eye of the 

 mover has been cast. 



The pin oak, Quercus palustris, is one 



of the handsomest of all the oaks. The 

 leaves at the time of opening are a beau- 

 tiful green, changing gradually to a 

 darker hue until in autumn it assumes 

 tints of brilliant red. In shape this oak 

 is broad and massive, with a pyramidal 

 crown. 



The English oak, (Quercus robur, is 

 another beautiful tree, with dilated 

 leaves, bluish green underneath and paler 

 green above, changing late in the season 

 to speckled brown. 



The willow oak, Quercus phellos, is a 

 peculiar and graceful tree, with lanceo- 

 late leaves resembling greatly those of a 

 willow. The leaves turn yellow in the 

 fall. 



The red oak, Quercus rubra, makes a 

 large, symmetrical specimen tree. The 

 leaves are large and divided into bristly
