In my catalogue of a year ago, I stated, that in order to give greater 

 attention to the small fruits — my specialty for twenty-five years — I 

 would discontinue the sale of Fruit Trees ; and although I had a good 

 stock of many kinds, I omitted them entirely from my catalogue for 

 the Spring of 1902. So many of my patrons called for them that I again 

 catalogued them last Autumn. After nivich thought, however, I have 

 decided for good and for all, to discontinue to carry Fruit Trees — for the present at 

 least — and devote my energies and best thoughts to the Small Fruits and Hardy 

 Herbaceous plants ; the branches of horticulture I love best, and which, for so long a 

 time have been my specialties. Since arriving at this decision I may state I have bought Clover Hill 

 Farm, located a few miles from my office ; a farm of nearly one hundred acres and especially adapted 

 to the successful growing of Small Fruits and Small Fruit Plants. For my Hardy Herbaceous Plant 

 Department I now have a seperate plant with greenhouses and frames for propagation, packing sheds, 

 etc., apart from my other greenhouses and grounds, fitted up in a most complete and up-to-date man- 

 ner for propagating and growing this class of plants ; all of which is under the management of a man 

 who has devoted his whole life to the propagation and culture of them and who may be justly styled 

 the foremost expert in Hard}' Herbaceous Plants in America. 



My Fruit Trees, of which I have a goodly supply, are now upon the "bargain counter" so to 

 speak ; and any in want of them, will be supplied on most favorable terms while they last. Lists 

 of varieties and prices will be promptly sent upon application. 



Country Life in America. 



Reflects every phase of country and suburban life, gives experiences and instruction in such mat- 

 ters as house building, gardening (indoors and out) horticulture, the small farm, the care of animals and 

 poultry, lawn making, out door sports, nature study, etc. It is published by Doubleday Page &Co., 

 and is by far the best and most beautiful journal of its field ever published, either in Europe or America. 

 It is so beautifully illustrated and gotten up, it has been repeatedly pronounced the most beautifu 

 magazine in existance. No lover of gardening, nature or any sort of out door work or pleasure should 

 fail to get every number of it. 



The subscription price, including the double Christmas number (regular price, 50 cents) and the 

 great gardening number — March (also 50 cents) and three large supplements is |3.00 per year. Sub- 

 scriptions will be received by me and promptly sent to the Publishers. 



A Philanthropic Offer. Anyone ordering Hardy Herbaceous, Small Fruit or other plants 

 from this catalogue at each, dozen or hundred rates (1000 rates must be excepted) to the amount of ten 

 dollars, will receive this beautiful monthly for one year, with extra numbers, etc. as stated above 

 free of charge ; provided however, it is stated in the order, that the party ordering wishes it and gives 

 address for receiving it. I make this offer, believing everybody receiving it will be greatly benefited 

 by the information obtained and the vast amount of pleasure afforded by reading its pages.
