The World's Great Wonder Book-

 on every Phrase, Term, and Expression in the living 

 English language — on everything alive that can be 

 spelled in English.

 It cost nearly $1,500,000 to complete; for nearly four 

 years 380 of the world's foremost editors and specialists 

 labored upon it unceasingly. 



A Reference Work Beyond Comparison— 



There are over 3,000 pages ; 7,000 pictorial illustrations, 

 including many beautiful colored plates ; it defines 

 450,000 terms, many thousands more than any other dic- 

 tionary. It is the only dictionary the contents of which 

 are arranged in one alphabetical order — an immense 

 time-saver. 



Most Authoritative Dictionary- 

 Six months after publication 75,000 copies had been 

 sold ; it is the dependable authority in all branches of 

 the United States Government, in Courts of Law, in the 

 leading Universities and Colleges, and in the Public 

 Schools. In commercial life the NEW Standard is pop- 

 ularly recognized as the one dictionary that never fails.

WE grow a general line of good sturdy nursery stock. Our soil and 

 climate here are peculiarly adapted to it. All our trees are several 

 times transplanted, which insures a fine root system. We give more 

 than usual attention to care in packing for shipment. There's a good bit 

 of frank sincerity of the Puritan ancestors in our business methods which 

 our customers have said is reflected in the kind of stock we grow and sell.
