It builds up the soil structure by adding humus or foundation material 

 absolutely needful. It supplies Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid and Potash in most 

 readily available form to provide for the food requirements of the plant next 

 season.

HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS Most brilliant and pleasing of the famU- 

 »-"'«■*-"''»•"■"■*-"-' iar garden flowers— easily grown, per- 

 fectly hardy and lasting for years. Careful selection will give a succession of bloom in 

 variety of form and color. Perennials thrive in any rich, well-drained soil and will give 

 better results in poor soil than any other cla^s of plants. We have a large and fine stock, 

 ready for planting this year — descriptions and prices in our new catalogue. Special needs 

 will receive special attention. 



The finest gardens and the best planted grounds in 

 America are those of the New England states. Notwith- 

 standing the rugged climate, here has been attained the 

 highest horticultural development of the western world. 

 Naturally it follows that nursery stock grown in New Eng- 

 land is superior in quality, of greater hardiness and better 

 selection than that from localities which lack the special 

 advantages under which it is produced. For many years 

 trees, shrubs and plants from our nurseries have been noted 

 as the hardiest, healthiest and thriftiest to be obtained any- 

 where. Our handsome new catalogue (free) describes and 

 prices the offerings of our several hundred acres of nurseries. 

 Let us send you a copy before you place your next order.

At Last! A Perfectly 

 Hardy Climbing Rose 



_ Christine Wright, a new climbing Rose, originated on our grounds, 

 is the most distinctive and valuable recent addition to this family of 

 Roses. It is a strong grower, with large, thick, leathery foliage, highly 

 ornamental in character. The flowers are four inches in diameter ; clear, 

 bright pink ; borne in clusters, with a dozen or more buds and blooms 

 in a cluster. The bud is beautiful and the flowers finely formed. 



Free from Insects and Diseases 



and perfectly hardy — more so than any 



other climbing Rose known to us. Christine 



Wright has shown absolute freedom from all 



signs of black spot or mildew. It blooms 



occasionally throughout the summer — last 



summer we cut flowers from it every month. 



As a pillar Rose it has no equal and has been 



pronounced by some of the best authorities 



— on Roses as the finest of its 



class. A trial will convince 



you that the Rose deserves 



this honor. 



Strong Plants. $1.00 



Our stock is made up of 

 large and thrifty plants, 

 and we offer specimens at 

 the remarkably reasonable 

 price of $1 each, postage 

 prepaid. Let us have your
