fc The Newer Hardy Perennials (I 



" ' are wonderful improvements over the kind that grew in grandmother's gar- 

 den. Scientific plant breeders both in America and Europe have of late 

 years devoted much time and skill to the improvement of old-fashioned 

 perennials; and to the creation by cross-fertilization of many new hybrids. 

 Our collection of hardy perennials we believe unequalled in size and 

 embraces every new kind worth growing as well as all the old favorites 

 that have stood the test of time.

We take great pleasure in once more calling the attention of our 



friends to the fact that it is time to arrange for their 



Spring Planting

 stowed upon us. From a modest beginning in 1848 our business has grown until it 

 is the most extensive in New England and one of the largest in the United States. We 

 have several hundred acres continually in Nursery Stock, and our personal attention is 

 devoted to every branch of the business, and our life-long experience enables us to iudge 

 as to the varieties best adapted to the different localities. 



Our stock includes a complete assortment of Fruit, Forest, Ornamental and Ever- 

 green Trees, Shrubbery, Small Fruits, Roses, Vines, Herbaceous Plants and Perennials. 



We also make a specialty of furnishing and selecting the proper trees and plants for 



the planting of both large and small estates. We have attained great success with the 



planting of the " Old Fashioned Flower Gardens." We will gladly make estimate and 



plans when desired. Our grounds are at all times open for inspection to all who have an 



interest in our work, and all visitors are welcome, whether they wish to purchase or not. 



We are located at New Canaan. Conn., forty-four miles from New York City, and thirty-five miles
