The beauty of the Wliite Pine is in its cheerful green 

 foliage, the tall and massive trunk, the wide-spreading 

 horizontal brandies and the tips glistening like steel-blue 

 needles. It grows rapidly, and is especially adapted for 

 screen planting. Excellent for forestry purposes. Weoffer 

 special lots and prices in White Pine, and other varieties. 



WHITE SPRUCE (Picea alba) 



Pointed at the top, generally with sharp needles and hang- 

 ing cones, foliage cheerful b ue-green, dense and handsome, 

 very hardy and of vigorous growth. White Spruce has all the 

 good evergreen qualities. Hedges of spruce are excellent 

 and beautiful. 



HEMLOCK (Tsuga) 



Notahle for its feathery growfulness and permanent green 

 color. It should be p anted al.mg the borders of woods or be- 

 tween shnihs. It doesn't thrive a'one in a windy situation. 

 Fine six foot specimens. Retinospora squarrosa and 

 K. plumosa.

Si '.ss and prices. ) 



Beautiful as are many kinds of Evergreens, plant 

 as single specimens, they are most useful and attract- 

 ive when grouped. They love company and mutual 

 protection, and for appearance andutility they should 

 be used as screens, shelter -belts and windbreaks. 

 The standard kinds are no longer too rare and high- 

 priced to be planted in quantity. We grow them at 

 prices which allow them to contribute to the comfort 

 of all who have home grounds to improve. 



Packing charged at cost. Beautiful Catalog free

has taken front rank among horticultural indus- 

 tries. Mushrooms are no longer a luxury but a 

 staple article. The demand largely exceeds the 

 supply. Definite strains specially adapted for 

 certain climates, either warm or cool, can be had. 

 "Pure Culture Method" eliminates element 

 of risk or possibility of failure as nearly as can 

 be possible. 



A Mushroom Bed 

 is a Money Maker 



when " Pure Culture Spawn " is used. Every 

 brick is inoculated direct from test-tube culture. 

 We are originators of pure and superior varieties. 

 Cornell University Experiment Station in Bulletin 

 No. 277 says of us : 



"It is possible with the method employed by this com- 

 pany to cultivate varieties true to the name 



whereas most or all of imported spawn may contain sev- 

 eral varieties mixed." 



Our " Pure Culture Spawn " has been tested 

 by a number of Experiment Stations and its 

 superior merits are substantially endorsed. Don't 

 buy till you have seen our catalogue.
