TWENTY YEARS AGO 



we were the first of American Nurseries to 

 realize that American gardens and grounds 

 could not be laid out and planted under our 

 severe climatic restrictions without a practical 

 and expert study of plant life and conditions, 

 especially where advice and sound judgment 

 in determining results were needed. We have 

 worked twenty years on this basis, and many 

 hundreds of the most attractive estates in all 

 parts of this country, planned by us, prove that 

 we were right. We can refer to them. 



Thousands of plans are made on paper, 

 but real success requires a practical expert 

 knowledge, which comes only with a life study 

 of the relative value of every tree, shrub and 

 flowering plant. 



We offer this experience as plantsmen to 

 secure for every client, no matter where, a fin- 

 ished and beautiful result, and at comparatively small cost. 



We not only prepare plans for every form of garden and grounds, through the medium of sketches 

 sent by mail, but send promptly men of experience at reasonable rates to advise upon every leading 

 feature of landscape work. 



We call special attention to our catalogues, which are hardly equalled for detail, cultural advice and 

 thoroughness. Our large catalogue is regarded as the very best practical work in this country. 



Our Nurseries are among the largest in the United States, and we sell at exceptionally reasonable 

 prices. We offer every known hardy form of Trees, Shrubs, Rhododendrons, Evergreens, Herba- 

 ceous Plants, Vines, Bulbs at prices with quality, which will command your attention. 



We will be prompt in taking up any garden problem, or will advise upon the smallest question 

 which any one interested in this work may wish to bring to our attention. 



Write us early and get our special views or advice and prices.
