To facilitate the handling of our Bulb orders, we announce that 

 hereafter we will import bulbs to order only, and that orders must 

 be in our hands by July 1st. These will be shipped to our cus- 

 tomers at the proper time for planting. 



Our object in adopting this new course is to relieve ourselves of 

 the details of recounting and rehandling at a time when the atten- 

 tion of our entire force is needed for the Nursery and Landscape 

 Departments of our business. 



The high quality of the bulbs will remain unchanged — the 

 stock will be obtained from the same reliable growers who have 

 supplied us for the past fifteen years. 



Thus, without sacrificing quality in the least, we will now be 

 able to save you more than 20 PER CENT, over former prices; 

 we will be relieved of the details of handling, packing and carry- 

 ing surplus stock. The following list, representing as it does the 

 highest quality obtainable — which is the only kind we secure for 

 our select clientele — will convey a hint of the exceptional 

 values we offer : —

This famous collection of superb varieties will be at the height of its blooming period during 

 the week commencing June 13th. Each year hundreds of our friends come to see this grand exhibit 

 of color— last summer one came 300 miles and expressed himself as well paid for the trip. All readers 

 of the Garden MAGAZINE and their friends are invited to visit us during that week; the marvelous 

 showing of flowers — including many prize-winning varieties — is a sight not soon to be forgotten. 

 Our Nursery is at Hawthorne, on the Harlem branch of N. Y. C. R. R. 



Our Catalogue, ready June 1st, will be mailed to all names on our list and to others who request a copy.

[OHN DAVEY is the "father of tree surgery." His right to the title has been fully and 

 widely recognized. Great educational institutions have given it the weight of their endorse- 

 ment, and leading magazines have confirmed it after searching investigations. 

 The tree surgery with which the name of John Davey is so inseparably connected, however, is a science, 

 to be practiced only by trained men. There is a type of tree treatment to be encountered here and there 

 which has no right to be called tree surgery — it would better be described as tree butchery. 

 The Davey tree experts exclusively practice the science of tree surgery as discovered and reduced to concrete 

 form in the life work among the trees of John Davey. They are given a thorough and rigid training in the Davey 

 Institute of Tree Surgery, at Kent, Ohio — the only school of the kind in the world. 

 Many crimes against the trees are committed in the name of tree surgery. Even as the devil stole the livery of 

 heaven to advance his selfish ends, tree butchers are masquerading as tree surgeons. Once in a while the lure 

 of gold tempts a Davey man from his allegiance to his profession, and he falls to the depths of connection with the mal- 

 practioners of tree surgery. 



The scientific basis of tree surgery as John Davey teaches it stands as an undisputed fact. The character of the instruction 

 in its theory and practice given in the Davey Institute of Tree Surgery has been investigated and approved by high authorities. 

 The permanent efficiency of the work of the Davey tree experts has been demonstrated conclusively in the most radical tests. 



Ample and conclusive proof of these assertions will be cheerfully furnished by the Davey Tree Expert Company. For 

 your own protection and for the trees' own sakes demand equally complete credentials from others. Ask them in what 

 school of tree surgery their workmen were trained, and to produce evidence that their work has stood the test of years. 

 Above all, beware of the man who claims to be a graduate of the Davey Institute of Tree Surgery, but not now 

 connected with the Davey Tree Expert Company. Get his story of why he left us, and let us give you our 

 story of why he did. Learn of the obligations our men assume when they enter our school and our employ — 

 and then decide whether you will be safe in hiring a man who has broken his contract with us.
