PLANTS 



FOR DARK SHADY 

 PLACES 



While we grow many thousands of the hardy garden flowers 

 which require open sunlight for their growth, like Phloxes, Cam- 

 panulas, Peonies, Digitalis, etc., there is a demand for something to 

 grow in dark shady places where the hardy garden plants will not 

 thrive. We find just such a class of plants in the HARDY WILD 

 KERN AND KLOVVERS of New England. These we have been 

 studying and growing for 25 years, and can help you in your selec- 

 tions. They are adapted for a great many places, and selections can 

 be made for beautifying the dark corner by the porch, the shaded 

 wall of hedge, shady hillsides, wet places in both open sun, deep 

 shade, dry woods and rocky places. Brilliant lobelias for planting 

 in small brooks ; dainty gentians for planting by brookside. Before 

 purchasing send for my illustrated descriptive catalogue of over 50 

 pages, which tells about this class of plants.

GENUINE PERUVIAN GUANO 



FOR THE FRUIT ORCHARD 



Experienced fruit growers are learning that they should not 

 use acidulated fertilizing materials in their fruit orchards. 



NOTE HOW THEORY AND PRACTICE AGREE 



npr_TTp/^\"n "VT" Prof. F. A. Waugh, of the Deparime7it of Agriculture of the Massachusetts 

 111 L-jKJ IV 1 Agricultural College, writes us concerning Peruvian Guano : " Theoretically, I 

 have a notion that it (Peruvian Guano) is one of the best forms in which to use Nitrogen on fruit trees." 

 DD A C^ f I 1 T^TT Mr. David L. Fiske, of the Massachusetts State Fruit Growers' Associ- 

 1 IviiV^ 1 Iv>L> aliou, with large orchards in Worcester Co., Mass., writes us under date of 

 August 21st, 1905 : " I will say that I have been growing peaches for market for the past thirty years, and 

 though the summer has been unusually dry in this section never had more vigorous foliage or finer 

 fruit. Used in the spring of this year for the first time PERUVIAN GUANO overall my orchard ground; 

 this in connection with Sulphate of Potash seems to be just right. Hope to use more next year."

Reproduction of a sketch submitted by 11s for a proposed garden to be planted this spring at Oyster Bay, L. I. The garden in 

 the foreground was sketched on a photograph of the gr minds so that the effect is accurately portrayed 



LET US MAKE ONE FOR YOU 



Then you will know before planting what the finished effect will be. If you are thinking of fixing up the 

 old homestead or have just started a new home and desire immediate effect you will require some of our 

 large trees and shrubs. We are prepared with our new tree-moving machine to move trees up to 16 inches 

 in diameter at a reasonable cost. Our collection of evergreens is very choice. They were awarded a 

 silver medal last November by the American Institute in New York City. A complete assortment of the 

 most satisfactory herbaceous plants are grown at our Nursery, as well as our famous gold medal peonies.
