THIS LIST gives a few of my specialties and leading varieties adapted for 

 Parks, Private Estates and other ornamental grounds. 



More complete lists, descriptions, etc., will be found in Catalogue No. 38 

 for 1897. 



AUTUMN PLANTING. — For many reasons fall planting is preferable to spring 

 planting. There is much more time to do the work properly. The roots 

 get firmly established during the winter. The tree or shrub is then in 

 condition for immediate growth on the opening of spring. Nearly all 

 deciduous trees and shrubs can be shipped and transplanted m autumn to 

 advantage ; also, Roses in the open ground, when slightly protected with 

 suitable mulching. 



LOW PRICES. — Special low prices are given in Surplus List on second page, and 

 throughout the list for stock in quantity per hundred and thousand or in 

 car lots. 



Fine hardy planting material of all kinds— Trees, Shrubs, Roses, 

 Vines, Herbaceous Plants, and the best Fruits and Small Fruits were 

 never in greater supply or of better quality, or so low in price as at the 

 present time. 



PARTICULAR ATTENTION is given to furnishing large lists and large quan- 

 tities in one order complete and on lowest terms. Early orders secure first 

 selections and best prices. 



PLANTING PLANS. — While I do not prepare plans for planting, I am always 

 glad to confer or advise regarding these and the general method of land- 

 scape treatment desired. 



GARDENERS' POSITIONS. — I have always on my books the addresses of com- 

 petent managers, head gardeners and assistant gardeners, such as I can 

 recommend as reliable and trustworthy, for filling these positions satisfac- 

 torily.
