GARDEN * BOOK 



ITOR 1906 



Horticulture during the past five jears has made great strides in America. The many books written on the subject and fhe 

 illu'^trated periodicals have increased the love for nature both in the young and old. We are keeping pace with this growth, and 

 offering to our friends through our iip-to-date Garden Book stock that can be depended upon in description, illustration and reli- 

 ability. Our representatives make annual trips to Europe to visit and purchase of the leading establishments and specialists 

 there, and our travellers on this side advise us of all ]5ror;ress being made from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Our trial grounds 

 prove the value of any Novelty or improved types that we are eager to put into your hands if they are suited to this country, with 

 its varied climatic conditions. 



We solicit the orders of all buyers, small or large, especially of those who do their own gardening and appreciate values. Our 

 organization is made up of only practical men, who place themselves in the buyer's position to anticipate your wants not always 

 expressed in an order, and to furnish varieties that promise results to an intelligent cultivator.
