CHOICE SHRUBS AND DWARF DECIDUOUS TREES 



Owing to the difficulty and expense of packing for shipment Deciduous Trees in small 

 lots, we include in the following list only those of somewhat dwarf habit. Prices for other 

 varieties, of which we have a large assortment, will be cheerfully given upon request. 



The prices quoted are for well-developed stocky plants. A dozen of any variety will be 

 supplied for ten times the price of one (six for five times the price of one), but this dozen rate 

 may be used only when six or more of a variety are taken. The hundred rate of any variety will 

 be promptly sent if desired. We solicit an opportunity to give special quotations upon lists of 

 Shrubs and Ornamental Trees for landscape planting. 



Shipment should be made by express or freight, as the plants are very large for mailing. 



All the varieties offered do best planted in autumn.
