If you would learn something of the variety and beauty 

 of our stock, come to Hawthorne, N. Y., 54 minutes from 

 New York on Harlem Branch of the N. Y. C. R. R. Besides 

 the ordinary sizes you will find 



Large Specimens 



for immediate effect. One customer seeing the superiority 

 of our trees placed an order for nearly $4000 at one time 

 and sent another order for nearly $2000.

We will see that they arrive at proper time for planting 



October and November are the best months to plant many Trees, 

 Shrubs, Peonies, Phlox, etc. In fact, Fall is the only time to plant many 

 varieties. Every kind of plant has a time and requires conditions most 

 favorable for transplanting: 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 supplement the catalogue in every way in 

 our power for those who send their problems early. 



Rosedale Stock Has An Enviable Reputation 



Of 350 trees shipped to one customer 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, 1st, It has been frequently transplanted and set wide apart, which de- 

 velops 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 pre- 

 vention of insect pests. A certificate of the State Entomologist is sent with each shipment. 



Rosedale Prices 



Of course such stock cannot be produced for the same prices as ordinary stock and 

 our prices may seem high to those not familiar with it. But we can refer you to 

 many of New York's keenest business men who buy of us every year.
