Plant Evergreens 



for Year-round Beauty 



A GLEAM of living green brightens 

 the winter landscape. And stately 

 evergreens contrast strongly with deciduous 

 trees in summer. We offer you more than 

 60 kinds, including: 



White Pines: 1J ft. to 15 ft. high. A noble 

 native tree that thrives on almost any soil. 

 It grows rapidly — 2\ to 3 ft. a year. 



Douglas Spruce: An evergreen of en- 

 chanting beauty. Steel bluish-green foli- 

 age and graceful branches. The tree is 

 very hardy. It is valuable for lawns, for 

 massing and for avenues. 



We have Evergreens for every landscape 

 purpose. All are strong-rooted due to 

 frequent transplanting. All our trees are 

 dug with great care and packed while still 

 fresh from the ground — no storing. 



Irish Roses: In spite of submarines, we 

 have succeeded in importing a large ship- 

 ment of genuine Irish Roses — the famous 

 Dickson strain. Planted early, they will 

 bloom this very summer. Our Catalogue 

 lists nearly 200 varieties — all hardy.

Gardeners 



Should Order These 



Special Strains Now 



While we are prepared for one of the greatest spring 

 rushes in the 62 years of our business history, the 

 "think-ahead" gardener will not permit himself to 

 get caught in it. The particular varieties which you 

 consider especially adapted to your conditions and 

 your needs may be exhausted, if you delay. Then, 

 too, orders must be filled in rotation — that's the 

 only fair way — and late orders must await their 

 turns, with perhaps thousands ahead.
