jjTEW people there are who do not love Evergreens, but there 

 Tjl] are thousands who have few, or none, on their premises 

 because fear of failure to make them live and thrive has 

 withheld them from making the effort. Many have tried and 

 failed, but failure has always been traceable to either a misun- 

 derstanding of the proper methods of handling and packing at the 

 nursery, else to a lack of necessary information for the planting 

 and care. Our nearly forty years of experience in raising and 

 digging all kinds of trees, and packing Evergreens for shipment 

 long distances, has put us in the front ranks of successful ship- 

 pers, and we claim the distinction of being able to so pack Ever- 

 greens that they will carry safely to any part of the United States 

 and to Foreign lands. The proper planting and care of Ever- 

 greens is now a science that is not confined to few but is widely 

 known and practiced. Each year hundreds of large estates are 

 being thickly dotted with Evergreens, driveways bordered with 

 beautiful Hedges, and thousands of country, village, and city 

 homes are being wonderfully improved and beautified with Ever- 

 green Hedges and specimen trees. THE EVERGREEN NUR- 

 SERIES alone furnishing the trees for thousands of such plant- 

 ings every year. To those of our customers who doubt their 

 ability to plant successfully, we will furnish, gratis, up-to-date 

 instructions setting forth the most approved methods of planting. 

 If you are desirous of improving your premises with Evergreens 

 or Deciduous trees, a Hedge, Windbreak, or a Screen, write us, 

 giving an outline, near as possible, of what you want, and we 

 will give you, gratis, the benefit of our long years of experience. 

 We are confident that our stock will give you satisfaction, as it 

 has to thousands of others. We will serve you well and faithfully. 

 Our Catalog shows many beautiful Evergreen Hedges and Groves.

A FRUIT ORCHARD FOR $12.50 



LOOKING at it from the standpoint of 

 either pleasure or profit, is there 

 anything that surpasses an orchard? 

 When the pleasure of it only is considered, 

 you have early in the spring a gorgeous 

 burst of blossoms, in midsummer the ripen- 

 ing fruit, in the late summer luscious 

 home-grown fruit, and enough over, if you 

 have a part laid out in apples, to store 

 and enjoy the winter through. 



If the orchard is looked at and desired 

 merely for profit, the results are even more 

 interesting. For example, one of our cus- 

 tomers netted last season $14 from one 

 four-year-old Elberta Peach Tree. An 

 acre, at this rate, would yield a profit of 

 $1,400! Another netted $8 from one ten- 

 year-old Yellow Transparent Apple Tree. 

 Another $6 from one four-year-old Abun- 

 dance Plum Tree. Still another customer 

 wrote us that a single Bartlett Pear Tree 

 gave him a profit of $10. 



It is not necessary to go into this thing 

 in a large way, and we make the planting 

 of a small orchard a matter of trifling ex- 

 pense. This is possible because we are 

 one of the largest growers of fruit trees in 

 America, having more than a thousand 

 acres in our nurseries, and sell to the 

 large orchardists of the country in car- 

 load lots. We frequently sell for single 

 orchards from fifty to one hundred thou- 



Isn't it worth while to get a yield like this every year ?

 stock, and are just what we supply to the 

 commercial orchardist. This stock is grown 

 in the rich Maryland soil, and is perfectly 

 hardy in severe Northern climates. 



Lay out some of your unused land in 

 orchard. It requires but a little attention 

 and will yield you large dividends in pleasure 

 and profit. We shall be glad to advise any 

 reader of The Garden Magazine relative 

 to the planting of an orchard, whether large 

 or small, and suggest other combinations 

 than those offered above. Write us today.
