o4letfander$ QahliasD 



THIS summer you will very likely be looking for a bouquet 

 of a certain color to harmonize with that corner of your 

 dining-room; you will probably want flowers of a particular 

 shape and form to give just that desired artistic effect on your 

 hall table; granting this, wouldn't you like to step into your own 

 flower garden and select just the color and just the type of flower 

 you are looking for? Then try either or both of these

To those Readers who 

 Buy in Quantity! 



For three-quarters of a century, the W. &. T. 

 Smith Nurseries have served America in the 

 materializing of better gardens. To make "bet- 

 ter gardens" the planter needs "better kinds" of 

 plants and these this nursery has provided since 

 its start. The efforts of this nursery to grow 

 everything suitable for our climate and to grow 

 it better has won for it a place in the front ranks 

 of the World's Great Nurseries. 



Trees, Shrubs, Plants, both 



Ornamentals and Fruits 



in Proved Varieties 



We offer one of the widest selections in plants 

 for the home grounds, but only such as have 

 proved their merit to our satisfaction! Those 

 that we offer through our catalogue have stood 

 every test to which a plant may be subjected 

 under widely varying conditions of soil and 

 climate. 



A Quality Product Backed by 

 75 Years of Striving- for the Best 



Quality in Nursery stock primarily means 

 two things: The plants must grow and bear 

 whatever crop the planter expects. But Geneva 

 Quality means more! It stands for root systems, 

 clean trunks and limbs, inherent constitution, 

 hardiness and utter dependability such as only 

 long experience of skilled men, together with 

 favorable soil and climate, are able to produce. 



On the basis of being prepared to render you 

 the utmost in service in plants of an ultimate 

 quality, we invite your request for our catalogue ! 



Quantity and Quality Service 

 for Landscape Architects 



We grow large blocks of trees and shrubs particularly 

 adapted for Avenue and Park Plantings. Our methods of 

 repeatedly and periodically transplanting such stock pro- 

 duce a root system that stands as life insurance to the 

 plants. As a result, losses in quantity plantings of such 

 stock are at a minimum and have won for us the loyal 

 support and steady patronage of many leaders in the 

 profession. We gladly quote prices any time, on any 

 quantities.
