Select Hardy Shrubs. 



The prices named are for transplanted, well-developed plants to be shipped by express or freight— (they are much 

 too large to be sent by mail). I have included in this list a few choice deciduous trees that can be readily packed 

 and shipped with shrubs. 



A dozen of any variety offered will be supplied at ten times the price for one. Hundred rate of any variety 

 promptly sent by mail, upon receipt of request. 



I solicit an opportunity to give special quotations upon lists of shrubs for landscape planting or home ground 

 embellishment.
