For want of space we describe but a few of the choicest and most valuable Ornamental Trees and 

 Shrubs, and give but brief notes on these, although our assoriment is very large and complete. 



There is nothing that so quickly, or for the cost, adds so much to the cheerfulness and the finish of a 

 home as Flowering Shrubs. All we offer are entirely hardy without protection, bloom at once and contin- 

 ue to grow lovelier year by year.
