Our stock has an enviable reputation : Of 350 trees shipped to one cus- 

 tomer not a tree failed ; of 300 sent to another only one failed ; another 

 customer writes that "practically all the 650 trees received from you grew." 



There are reasons why our stock is unsurpassed : 



Because, ist. It has been frequently transplanted and set wide apart, which develops a 

 great root-system. A tree is no better than its roots. 



Because, 2d. Our soil is adapted to the making of many fibrous roots. 



Because, 3rd. Great care is given to pruning and shaping the tops. 



Because, 4th. Constant care is given by our own expert, a Cornell man, to the prevention 

 of insect pests. A certificate of the State Ento- 

 mologist is sent with each shipment.

 Tarrytown Light diffusing its rays to all horticultural 

 voyagers who place themselves within its influence. 



Like the Tarrytown Light it is free to all 

 who seek its aid. If you own a home or expect 

 to, write today for a copy. 



Every kind of Plant has a time and re- 

 quires conditions most favorable for trans- 

 planting : e.g. Jap. Iris requires spring planting 

 in a sunny location, in moist ground on which 

 water does not stand. Meet these conditions 

 and you succeed. We are as anxious as our 

 customers for their success and therefore sup- 

 plement the catalogue in every way in our 

 power for those who send their problems early.
