The Service and Facilities We Offer to 

 Every Garden Owner 



THIS is an introductory announcement; it is our purpose 

 to explain on this page every month the service we 

 can render every reader of The Garden Magazine who 

 is interested in beautiful home grounds. 

 We believe a nurseryman should be more 

 than a grower of trees — he should 



tested 



furnish honest stock of 



merit, 



properly packed, at reasonable prices, and 

 furthermore he should be the adviser 

 and helper of his clients as his experience 

 fits him to be. (We are anxious to work 

 with you for better gardens, and this 

 and subsequent announcements will tell 

 how we are able to do it.) 

 OUR STOCK is well grown 

 as hundreds who have visited 

 our nursery can testify. It 

 has vitality and thrift. It has 

 become used to the shock of 

 transplanting and will live in 

 your garden if planted as we 

 direct. We do not grow 

 everything, but we do claim 

 to grow some of the best of 

 everything adapted to the 

 northern latitude. 



OUR PACKING is a feature 

 we want you to know about. 

 The best of stock cannot 

 stand exposure due to poor, 

 careless packing. Our stock is handled so that the delicate, 

 fibrous root system is not injured , and we guarantee it to 

 reach you in as good condition as when it was lifted 

 from the soil. All of our packing is done by men of 



experience under cover, in one of the most perfect and best 

 arranged establishments of the kind in the world. There are 

 larger ones but none better either in this country or in Europe. 

 OUR SERVICE. Expert advice in all 

 matters pertaining to the selection or plant- 

 ing of shrubs, trees and plants for the 

 home grounds is free for the asking. We 

 have built up our business by holding 

 our clients year after year and adding 

 new business through the recommendations 

 of people we have served. Therefore we 

 welcome a close, personal relationship with 

 our customers. It is both a privilege and 

 a duty to assist you all we can. 

 OUR PRICES are reason- 

 able when QUALITY is con- 

 sidered. Cheap nursery stock 

 is dear at any price; it is 

 simply a waste of time, space 

 and money. Ordinary shrubs, 

 good, strong, well-rooted plants, 

 35c. each, $2.50 for 10, $20 

 per hundred. Roses, 2-year- 

 old field grown, that will bloom 

 freely first year, same price. 

 Perennials, field grown, 15c. 

 each, $1.25 per 10, $10 per 

 hundred. Rhododendrons, from 

 one to five feet, $1 to $5 each. 

 We have Evergreens, Per- 

 ennials, Peonies, German and Japanese Irises in great variety. 

 SEND FOR OUR ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE, which 

 contains valuable information and cultural directions. Better 

 still, send a trial order to be paid for after stock is received.
