This Special Catalogue gives some of my specialties and leading varieties for 

 parks, private estates, avenue and street planting, herbaceous gardens, etc. 



For more complete lists, descriptions, etc., see my General Catalogue, No. 

 42 for 1899. 



AUTUMN PLANTING. — Fall planting is often preferable to spring planting. There is more time to do the 

 work properly. The tree or shrub is in condition for immediate growth in spring. Nearly all deciduous 

 trees and shrubs can be advantageously shipped and transplanted in autumn; also lilies, herbaceous plants 

 and hardy roses in the open ground, when slightly protected. 



LOW PRICES. — Although the market price for reliable stock of many trees and shrubs is higher than in 

 previous seasons, MY PRICES remain as heretofore the lowest rates possible, for good stock, true to 

 name and in good condition. Special low prices are noted in Surplus List on second page, and on all 

 stock in quantity, per 100 or per 1,000, or in carload lots. 



PARTICULAR ATTENTION is given to furnishing large lists and large quantities IN one order com- 

 plete and on lowest terms. Early orders secure first selections, complete assortments and best prices. 



PLANTING PLANS. — Havin? some familiarity with the best landscape improvements in the large country 

 estates and public parks both in this country and in Europe, I am always glad to confer regarding planting 

 plans and the landscape treatment desired. I do not, however, assume to be a landscape architect or pre- 

 pare plans- -artistic work requiring special knowledge and skill, for which nurserymen who assume land- 

 scape architecture are seldom qualified more than are lumber merchants or manufacturers for furnishing 

 plans and specifications for buildings. 



GARDENERS' POSITIONS.— I have always on my books a list of competent managers, head gardeners 

 and assistant gardeners, such as can be recommended as reliable and trustworthy, for filling these positions 

 satisfactorily.
