DON'T WAIT YEARS FOR 

 FINE LARGE TREES- 

 PLANT THEM NOW 



The finest trees we see were 

 planted by our fathers and 

 grandfathers years ago. A half 

 century will produce such trees, 

 but why wait for small trees to 

 grow and get along without for 

 half our lives ? By spending a 

 little more money at first, you 

 can start with large perfect trees 

 and your place has a finished 

 appearance. Think of planting 

 trees 15 to 30 feet high and 15 to 22 feet broad. 



In my nursery I have the largest trees that are to be found 

 in this country, that can be moved without injury. 



They are all beautiful specimen trees, that have 

 been transplanted repeatedly to give a root system 

 and to hold a ball of each. Each tree is given space to 

 grow in, to develop perfectly in branches and roots.

Stumpp 6 Walter Co.'s Peony Roots 

 Will Bloom Next Spring 



That's the sort of Peony Roots we supply. The roots are 

 taken from the ground, packed in damp moss, and shipped 

 the same day. This means that when you receive them they 

 still have all the life and small fibrous roots that are so 

 essential to the proper development, and the kind that 

 produce the large blooms next spring.

HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS Most brilliant and pleasing of the famil- 

 ■ ■ — - — — : . lar 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 class 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.

EVERGREEN TREES AND SH RUBS Necessary in the proper 



planting of the home 



grounds, to add an element of cheerfulness in the winter season. Evergreens also serve 

 a practical purpose as windbreaks and screens. They should be transplanted in early fall, 

 when the danger of loss is at its minimum. We have an excellent stock of carefully culti- 

 vated specimens, for every purpose, ready for immediate transplanting, at prices which 

 are right— see catalogue. Quotations on special requirements promptly furnished.

For Autumn Planting
