ORNAMENTAL DEPARTMENT. 



The increasing demand for this class of stock 

 has induced us to make this branch a more prom- 

 inent feature of our establishment. It should be 

 kept in mind that with ornamentals, as with fruit 

 trees, there are some that do well in one place that 

 will fail in another, so that care should be taken, 

 in making up planting-lists, to select such only as 

 are known to succeed in the particular locality 

 where they are to be planted. The stock grown for 

 us is in the best possible condition for transplant- 

 ing, having plenty of room where growing, and in 

 soil eminently suited to the development of a good 

 system of roots. With careful planting, and proper 

 care afterwards, there will be but little 'danger of 

 failure. 



TRANSPLANTING AND CULTIVATION. 



Flowering shrubs and evergreens should be care- 

 fully planted in good, deep, rich soil, and well 

 mulched. When this is done, watering will seldom 

 be necessary; but when, in case of extreme 

 drought, it may be required, it should be thor- 

 oughly done, so as to reach well down to the roots. 



The branches should always be shortened back, 

 at the time of planting, in proportion to the loss 

 of roots sustained by the tree in moving. 



Those contemplating planting trees should bear 

 in mind that the value and beauty of a tree or plant 

 is dependent upon its thriftiness and symmetry 

 rather than its height.
