The Home Everybody having a garden or lawn can have a 
; Pinetum or grove of Pines. It is now positively 
Pinetum known that to live among Pine Trees is to insure 
good health. We can supply the varieties of Pines to 
make a Pinetum of any size ; this does not necessarily 
mean a forest of Pines fifty to seventy-five feet high 
has to develop before healthful results are obtained. 
We have Pines suitable for gardens of any size,— 
kinds that grow only a few feet tall, while others that 
grow to almost any height. Give us particulars as 
to location and size of Pinetum desired and we will 
give the cost and varieties desirable for your climate 
and location. 
Everybody can stay at home and live among the 
Pines at small cost. 
The Home ! the olden times every home had its Wild 
Wil d Fl Garden. You can have one to-day as in those times, 
1 Flower only mote complete and interesting. We have the 
Garden plants to make these charming gardens and will be 
pleased to suggest the kinds most desirable for your 
space and climate, if you will give us particulars 
about them. 
The Home No home with surrounding grounds should be with- 
0 out a Fruit Garden. A small space will produce 
Fruit an abundance of Fruit if properly planted, Dwarf or 
Garden Trained Apples, Pears, Peaches, Plums and Cherries

“OLD FASHIONED FLOWERS” 
Peonies, Hollyhocks, Phloxes, Iris, Poppies, Pinks, Larkspurs, Columbines, Anem- 
ones, Canterbury Bells, Gaillardias, Foxgloves, Day Lilies, Primroses, Sweet Wil- 
liams, etc., etc. To know them is tc love them; to know them well is to love chem 
dearly. They are not for a few months of a single season only; but like the good friend 
and true, they remain for all time. These hardy flowers flourish in almost every soil, 
need but little care and require no special knowledge to succeed with them. 
Was there ever a man, woman or child who did not enjoy loitering in a garden of 
Hardy Perennials, or “old fashioned flowers,” gathering fragrant bouquets of them in 
the dewy morning, in the quiet“of evening, even under a noon-day sun? This privilege 
is within the reach of every owner of a few feet of land. For $1001 will supply 1000 
large, strong plants of choice Hardy Perennials—enough to plant 4000 square feet. If 
you will mail me the dimensions of your grounds and a rough outline of them, stating 
also the character of the soil, I will make a plan and planting list especially for the prop- 
erly, showing just what the selection consists of and where each plant is to be placed to 
produce a constant and pleasing display of harmonious color throughout the entire sum- 
mer and autumn. (For $55 I will make a plan and planting list and supply 500 plants 
or enough to plant 2000 square feet.) 
In my catalogue of Hardy Perennials everything is explained. It is an elegantly 
printed and copiously illustrated book. It gives accurate descriptions of over 1000 
varieties of select Hardy Perennials, Shrubs, Vines, etc., and is brimful of valuable 
information about these beautiful and intensely interesting flowers. It is freely mailed 
to all who ask for it.

dential purposes. A healthy and extremely 
beautiful and interesting part of Long Island. 
The land slopes down to a brook running 
through the woods, and by canoe connected 
with salt water. Well stocked with trout. There 
is an admirable outlook over Long Island 
Sound, and several sites for houses. The land 
is high and about half a mile from salt water. 
There is an old house on the place which 
could be used as a gardener’s cottage, or while 
a new house was being built. Barns, tool 
houses, etc. Half way up the hill are two 
good springs, forming pools, where fifty years 
ago the former owner had his trout ponds 
sixty or seventy feet above sea level. Half a 
dozen other fine springs are on the place.
