 in great variety, and the old-fashioned Perennials that will give 

 flowers from early spring until late fall.

 unusual trees and shrubs — Beeches in variety, Tulip-poplar, Virgilea 

 lutea, Golden-chain, Flowering Cherries and Apples, Wild Roses in 

 numerous varieties for various purposes, etc. Send today for our new
