A Good Dahlia Need Not Be Expensive ! 



The one great lesson which the last great Dahlia Show 

 held for all of us is that some of the inexpensive varieties 

 are just as beautiful as those valued at from $$ to #25, 

 according to rarity. Few kinds, regardless to type, surpass 

 such old standards as "Bianca." What finer Cactus 

 Dahlia does any one want than "Ignea," shown above. 

 Yet both varieties cost but $I.O0 each. Whether you are 

 a Dahlia fan now or intend to become one, 



Let Me Mail You My Catalogue 



You will find it a comprehensive index to all the best in Dahlia- 

 dom. The reliable old stand-bys are 

 given just as much of a show in this 

 book as the expensive novelties. Now, 

 while recent shows are still fresh in 

 your mind, is a good time to write me 

 about your plans for your next season 

 Dahlia garden. If your name is not 

 on my mailing" list, be sure to write tor 

 the catalogue to-day.

A Rockery's Enduring Charm 



Not only does a rock garden offer the id?al location for 

 many quaint and curious plants, but the plants them- 

 selves bring constant and ever-changing surprises. 

 Nor need your grounds be sparious to hold a rock gar- 

 den. A small corner, plenty of rocks, a little soil and 

 some plants combined will make you the cutest garden 

 imaginable. 



You Can Always Start with Pot Grown Plants 

 From the very beginning, this nursery has made a specialty of 

 rock garden plants and we grow a greater variety in greater 

 quantities, perhaps, than any other establishment in the East. 

 Many of the plants are available grown in pots. This makes it 

 possible for you to start at any time. Firmly established root 

 system will prevent any shock to the plant. Just prepare your 

 ground and set them— they will never stop growing.

Fall Planting of 



Flowering Crabs 



(MALUSES) 



The Flowering Crabs may be planted with best results 

 now until the ground is frozen. One of the show events 

 at the Arnold Arboretum is the blooming of the Flower- 

 ing Crabs followed by showy fruit. They are among the 

 most gorgeous of spring flowering trees and shrubs. 



They are of easy culture, and whether planted singly 

 or in masses give remarkable and quick results. While 

 beautiful on the small lawn, Flowering Crabs are used to 

 the greatest advantage on a large scale in woodland and 

 other mass plantings, as are Dogwoods and Hawthorns. 

 No group of plants have greater value than the Maluses 

 for enlivening open forest parks and country roadside; 

 they present striking effects when planted on parking 

 strips of boulevards or wide city streets. 



BOXFORD-HIGHLANDS NURSERY, EAST BOX-
