(^HOICE JREES AND^H^'^P^ PLANTS. 



The Parajviount Advantage in using Hardy Trees and Plants for all kinds of ornamental plant* 

 ing is now generally recognized by all who have given the subject careful attention. By a selection from 

 the many species and varieties now offered — including the many native kinds— almost any effect desired 

 can be hai-moniously produced, without the yearly expense and troublesome renewals incident to the use 

 of annuals and tender summer plants. 



Hardy Trees, Evergreens and Shrubs constitute the priccipal gi'oundwork for all important 

 and effective planting, and a suitable arrangement of these is as important in fine grounds as a perfect 

 lawn or appropriate buildings. 



Herbaceous Perennials are sometimes effective in giving a restful, "home-like " appearance, but 

 are usually more satisfactory in beds or borders of restricted area. 



ORNAMENTAL AND SHADE TREES. 



The following Deciduous Trees are all nursery-grown, and have been properly transplanted. 



They can be safely planted any time in spring after frost is out and the ground settled, before new 

 ^owth begins ; and in autumn after the foliage and wood ripen until the ground freezes in winter. In 

 this latitude usually April and May In spring, October and November in autumn. 



Prices noted are for single specimens, of the best size for transplanting for immediate effect. Special 

 low prices per dozen, hundred or thousand, given upon application.
