In Your Home Garden,Plant 

 Only Extra Good FruitTrees 



Trees planted at home should bear 

 earlier, more heavily and yield finer 

 fruit than trees in orchards. The 

 reason is, that each tree can be given 

 individual attention by the owner. 



Harrison Trees Are Budded From 

 Bearing Orchards 



Their parents are selected because 

 of superior bearing. They are en- 

 dowed with a tendency to produce 

 far better than ordinary trees. We 

 sell only trees we grow ourselves in 

 the favored soil and climate of Ber- 

 lin. They are hardened by the salty 

 Atlantic gales, and are entirely 

 hardy as far north as Nova Scotia. 

 These trees are extra good. Come to 

 Berlin, if you can, and see our trees.

CARTER BULBS

 Immediate Shipment 



All bulbs offered by this house were carefully selected by 

 James Carter & Co.'s experts. They were again inspected be- 

 fore importation and undergo another critical inspection here. 

 We believe that Carter Bulbs are not equalled for size or quality.

 erous choice varieties of Hyacinths, Crocus, Narcissus, Tulips, Jon- 

 quils, Daffodils and others, including many rare varieties. 



Complete stocks of these bulbs are now here and orders 

 will be filled promptly. 



A complimentary copy of "Bulbs" will be mailed you 

 on request. Write for it.

 book on the care of lawn, tennis court, golf course 

 or other green — sent gratis on request. 



Start a Fernery 



Brighten up the deep, shady nooks on your lawn, or that dark 



porch corner- just the places for our hardy wild ferns and wild flower 



collections. We have been growing them for 25 years and know 



what varieties are suited to your conditions. Tell us the kind 



of soil you have — light, sandy, clay — and we will advise you. 



Gillett's Ferns and Flowers 



will give the charm of nature to your yard. These include not only hardy wild 

 ferns, but native orchids, and flowers for wet and swampy spots, rocky hillsides 

 and dry woods. We also grow such hardy flowers as primroses, campanulas, 

 digitalis, violets, hepaticas, trilliums, and wild flowers which require open sunlight 

 as well as shade. If you want a bit of an old-time wildwood garden, with flowers 

 just as Nature grows them— send for our new catalogue and let us advise you 

 what to select and how to succeed with them.
