Both cheaper and more expensive plants in these sizes can be bought, 
and actual comparison will show the difference to be real. When ten or 
a dozen of a kind are bought the rate will be 10 to 20 per cent. less than 
the each price; and there is a second similar reduction by the hundred 
for common plants. “Specimen plants,’ those larger than average 
nursery size, can be had at about double the above prices. These are 
for immediate effect, and if for a conspicuous place are worth the extra 
cost from the point of view of the appearance of the planting. 
Though the cost of a plant is often the first item to receive attention 
in our garden planning, we must never forget that a similar amount of 
thought should be given to the other considerations. The greatest 
study as to its placing for the finest effect in the garden, the best of prepa- 
ration of soil for its planting, the necessary attention for its proper growth, 
and then the fullest enjoyment of it as a part of the whole garden: these 
give us highest return value in our garden labors.
