T FALL 



They thrive better 



bloom earlier and grow 



larger than if 



planted in the spring 



FAVORITES in our grand- 

 mothers' gardens of the long 

 ago, "Pineys" have again become 

 a fashionable flower. Merit made 

 the old varieties popular — and 

 greater merit is possessed by the new 

 and improved kinds. They are equally 

 adapted to the small garden of the cottage home and to the broad 

 grounds of the great estate. Foliage, flower and fragrance alike are 

 fine, and Peonies are very hardy. 



Fine, large plants, ready for business, $2.50 the dozen 



"Peter's Plants," our new book, ready this month. Send for free 

 copy before you buy trees, shrubs or plants for the fall. Our longer 

 growing season and other natural advantages enable us to supply 

 stronger and better plants than can be had elsewhere for the money 

 — and we have thoroughly modern methods in our growing and 

 shipping departments. 



All our prices include payment of carriage charges — you know 

 exactly what your order will cost you

MOON'S TREES GROW 



During August and September Evergreens can be as 

 safely transplanted as at any season in the year. 



No other nursery in America has the assortment or raises as many hardy 

 acclimated specimens for lawn planting as we do. Each one of our trees is the 

 result of unrelenting effort and the skill of years in growing Evergreens. The 

 soil that we have is rich and splendidly adapted for growing these trees. All 

 of our stock is acclimated and accustomed to our American climate. Each one 

 of our trees has been given ample space for its symmetrical development, and 

 when necessary has been trimmed to keep it in proper shape. These trees 

 have been so cultivated as to secure an abundance of fine fibrous feeding roots 

 about the crown, where they are not disturbed when the tree is dug, and are 

 protected by a ball of earth that we wrap in burlap about them. 



When such vigorous healthy trees are handled in this 

 way the probability of loss from transplanting is reduced 

 to a minimum. 



We have 183 varieties of Evergreens in large and small growing kinds 

 and in many shades of color. We have Evergreens for windbreaks, screens 

 and hedges ; for groups, rockeries, formal plantings and lawn specimens. We 

 have some big Retinosporas and Norway Spruce that will give at once the 

 effect that it takes smaller trees years to produce. 



Wherever Evergreens can be used we have some suit- 

 able variety. 



Write for our beautiful Horticultural Art Book, that describes our Ever- 

 greens and our immense assortment of other nursery stock.
