EVERGREENS 



Now is the time to plant Evergreens and save 

 by so much time in the Spring when there are so 

 many things to do. We have them in many sizes 

 and varieties, from those well-known, to those that 

 are rare and difficult to obtain. 



We are growing well-developed specimens of 

 Spruces, Firs, Douglas Spruce, Pines, Retinosporas 

 and Arbor Vitse for those who want an immediate 

 effect. Thousands of them to select from. 



We have acres of Perennials, hundreds of vari- 

 eties; if planted in the Autumn they will give a 

 wealth of bloom next year. Then after October 1, 

 begin planting Deciduous Stock — Trees, Shrubs and 

 Vines. Plant Hybrid Roses only in the Spring. 



Our Descriptive Catalogue will assist the inex- 

 perienced in selecting. If interested, send for a copy.

The Flowering Crab 



DO YOU recall the gorgeous cover of" the 

 Garden Magazine for August? It showed 

 the rose-like -cluster blossoms of Bechtel's 

 Flowering Crab. And in the same issue was a 

 splendid article by John Dunbar of the Rochester 

 Park System on what he calls "the most wonderful 

 of all the flowering trees for American gardens — the 

 Crabapple." There is no exaggeration in his glowing 

 description of "the fragile tracery and delicacy of 

 their bloom," their wide range of coloring from white 

 to pink and rose-crimson, and their profuse flower- 

 ing, starting very young and increasing in glory from 

 year to year — while in the fall the branches are laden 

 with miniature golden-yellow or ruby-red fruits, that 

 may be cut for interior decoration, or left to attract 

 and feed the birds. 



We are as enthusiastic about the Flowering Crab as Mr. 

 Dunbar is — and as you will be when you plant it on your 

 lawn and feast on its loveliness from year to year. The 

 Bechtel variety in particular bears a fascinating likeness to 

 the rose. This and other varieties may be planted either 

 alone or in groups like shrubbery, or in 

 skilful combination with shrubbery. 



How grateful you will be when you 

 wake up some nice morning in May to 

 find your Crabapples in a shower of 

 bloom! Order some now — in sizes from 

 2 to 10 feet high, from #1.25 to #7.50 

 each — you can't make a mistake! Tell 

 us something about your lawn and we'll 

 tell you how and where to plant them.
